Miley Cyrus Says She Forgot to Wear Underwear at Grammys 2024
It’s time for some Party In The USA, as Miley Cyrus has finally won her first Grammy at the 2024 ceremony. Her chart-topping single, Flowers, won not one but two Grammys and all the Cyrus fans from her Disney days had a dream-come-true moment. While accepting the second Grammy, she cheekily added at the end of her speech that she had forgotten to wear her underwear for the prestigious event.
Miley Cyrus Jokes She ‘Might’ve Forgotten Underwear’ During Her Grammy Acceptance Speech
On Sunday, the 31-year-old singer accepted her first-ever Grammy at the 2024 ceremony. After she won her first Grammy, she was in for a second win: best record of the year. She returned to the stage after her electrifying performance of Flowers, which had the audience swooning over their favorite childhood pop star. In a beautiful sentiment, she went on to say in her acceptance speech:
“This award is amazing, but I really hope it doesn’t change anything, because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world a spectacular. So please don’t think that this is important, even though it’s very important, right, guys?”
She went on to extend her love to her crew, family, and her “main gays, because look how good I look!” She also thanked her Flowers collaborators, which included producers Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson. However, just before leaving the stage, she quipped in a signature Cyrus style saying,
“Thank you all so much. I don’t think I forgot anyone… but I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!”
Miley Cyrus was up for six nominations this year, most of them in major categories like record, song, and album of the year. Mark Ronson and Meryl Streep presented Cyrus with the Record of the Year award. While talking to Variety, Ron Perry, CEO of Cyrus’ label Columbia Records, added that the record perfectly captures Miley Cyrus’ “journey and resilience.” He also went on to praise how the song transcends her and reflects a theme of self-love that resonates with everyone.

Miley Cyrus kicked off the ceremony with her first win in Best Pop Solo Performance for her smash hit single Flowers and she was presented with the award by none other than the legendary Mariah Carey. She hurriedly ran towards the stage and like her fans, she could not stop gushing about Mariah Carey.
“This M.C. is going to stand by this M.C. because this is just too iconic. Oh my god, I just got stuck in the rain and traffic and thought I was going to miss this moment. And I could have missed the award — that’s fine — but not Mariah Carey! I just saw you at the Hollywood Bowl. It was everything.”
Cyrus continued by saying how much this win means to her after spending nearly two decades in the music industry. In an emotional speech, she opened up and said,
“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. 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.”
Miley Cyrus was up against some tough competition like Jon Batiste’s Worship, Boygenius’ Not Strong Enough, Victoria Monét’s On My Mama, Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampire, Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero, SZA’s Kill Bill and Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For?
