At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Miley Cyrus experienced a memorable moment when she won her first Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance. What made the occasion even more special for Cyrus was receiving the award from her idol and namesake, Mariah Carey. Cyrus expressed her admiration for Carey, referring to her as “This MC,” and described the encounter as “too iconic.”

Despite facing challenges with traffic and inclement weather, Cyrus was determined not to miss the opportunity to meet Carey. She emphasized that missing the award itself wouldn’t have bothered her as much as missing the chance to meet the legendary singer. Cyrus’s excitement at the prospect of meeting Carey was evident as she recounted her experience on stage.

Beyond her Grammy win, Cyrus made waves with her fashion choices, donning multiple stunning ensembles throughout the night. From a gold metallic gown to a shimmering black jumpsuit and a silver-fringed two-piece, Cyrus captivated attention both on the red carpet and during her performance.

Notably, Cyrus’s onstage presence drew comparisons to her godmother, Dolly Parton, with her voluminous hair and energetic performance reminiscent of Tina Turner. During her performance of “Flowers,” Cyrus playfully called out the Grammy audience for their reaction, adding a touch of humor to the evening.

Overall, Cyrus’s Grammy night was a celebration of her talent, style, and admiration for her musical inspirations, with her encounter with Mariah Carey serving as a highlight of the evening.
