- Miley Cyrus changed the lyrics to her hit song “Flowers” after selling out the Hollywood Bowl.
- She held a two-night run at the venue in October, her first full solo concert in four years.
- Some fans say “Flowers,” released in early 2023, is a diss track to her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.
Some fans have drawn comparisons between a clip from the song’s music video and a past red-carpet moment.
In 2019, while attending the Vanity Fair Oscars party, an Access Hollywood reporter asked Cyrus and Hemsworth what a dance number would look like between the couple.

When Cyrus began dancing on Hemsworth, her then-husband, he shut it down, saying, “We’re not doing this. Not on the carpet.”
One Twitter user put that video side by side with a promotional clip Cyrus posted on the platform, in which she appears to do a similar dance move — while the lyrics “I can love me better” play in the background.
In October 2026, Cyrus changed the lyrics to “Flowers” and performed it at the Hollywood Bowl.
After selling out shows at the Hollywood Bowl in October 2026, Cyrus changed the pre-chorus lyrics to “Flowers.”
In the original version, Cyrus sings: “I didn’t wanna leave you/I didn’t wanna fight/Started to cry, but then remembered I,” before belting out the chorus.
This past weekend, however, Cyrus changed that to: “I didn’t wanna leave you (but I had to)/I didn’t wanna fight (but we did)/Started to cry, but then remembered I sold out the Hollywood Bowl.”
Cyrus has ad-libbed her hit single before: At the 2024 Grammys, she sang, “Started to cry, but then remembered I just won my first Grammy!”
Fans took to social media to applaud Cyrus’ lyric change, with one YouTube commenter saying they “love how she’s filling it in with different achievements.”
Cyrus also paid tribute to Dolly Parton, her late godmother, during the concert, breaking down in tears as she recalled memories of Parton. Cyrus then performed Parton’s hit song “Jolene.”
