Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” first Grammy Award not only garnered critical acclaim but also led to a stunning performance
“Flowers” earned nominations for Song Of The Year and Record Of The Year, displaying its influence in the music world. Cyrus’ album Endless Summer Vacation also received nods for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.
In her acceptance speech, Cyrus thanked her fans, collaborators, and family. She dedicated her first Grammy award to her late grandmother, acknowledging her role in Cyrus’ musical journey.
The personal significance of “Flowers” resonated in Cyrus’ story about a boy and a butterfly, illustrating the song’s deeper meaning.
“There was a little boy that all he wanted for his birthday was a butterfly. So his parents gave him a butterfly net and he was so excited. He went outside, out in the sun, and started swinging and swinging. But with no luck, he sat down on the ground. He finally let go and he surrendered. He was okay that he was not going to capture this beautiful butterfly,” Cyrus said. “Right when he did is when the butterfly came and landed right on the tip of his nose. And this song, ‘Flowers,’ is my butterfly. Thank you.”

Following the award presentation by Mariah Carey, Cyrus delivered an unforgettable performance of “Flowers,” earning praise from Carey as a “talented and versatile artist.”
Singing, she voiced, ‘I didn’t want to leave you,’ pausing briefly to interject, ‘But I had to!’. Continuing, she vocalized, ‘I didn’t want to fight,’ and again interjected, ‘But we did!’, to the audience’s great enjoyment.
She also concluded the chorus of the song by altering the lyrics from “I started to cry, then remembered I can buy myself flowers” to “I started to cry, then remembered I just won my first Grammy!”
Celebrating her first Grammy for “Flowers,” Cyrus’ journey showcases her talent and evolving artistry. This blend of critical and popular success opens a new chapter in her career, promising more innovative work ahead.
