Miley Cyrus worked the stage — and the audience — during her SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert performance.
The three-time Grammy winner performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Friday, Feb. 14 early into the multi-hour celebratory event, singing Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” with Brittany Howard, as well as her Grammy-winning hit, “Flowers.”
Cyrus entertained the crowd, as always, with quippy remarks throughout her performance, including calling out to actor Paul Rudd in the audience mid-chorus of “Flowers.”
“I love you Paul Rudd,” Cyrus declared, with the camera cutting to a touched Rudd.
At one point, Cyrus also told the celebrity-filled audience at Radio City: “Are y’all doing that Grammys thing where you guys are famous and s— and you don’t sing along, excuse my language?”
Cyrus, 32, is no stranger to taking the stage for SNL audiences. The Hannah Montana alum made her hosting debut in March 2011. She returned in October 2013 and October 2015 to pull double-duty as both host and musical guest.
The “Flowers” singer has also been the musical guest on the show in 2017, 2018 with Mark Ronson, 2020 and 2021. Cyrus made a cameo during Billie Eilish’s hosting gig in 2021 for a skit called “Christmas Cards.”
