Calvin Harris Denies Miley Cyrus Feud After Collaboration Scrapped

Calvin Harris has dismissed rumors of a feud with Miley Cyrus surrounding their canceled collaboration on the song "Ocean," explaining that the split was due to "crossed wires" on his part rather than any issues with Cyrus or her team. Originally previewed with Cyrus' vocals in May 2024, the track was later re-released featuring Jessie Reyez, who had been involved from the start and co-wrote the song. Harris emphasized his respect for Cyrus, praising her "amazing voice" and stating "I love Miley" to clear up misunderstandings about any animosity. He confirmed it is "not possible" to release the Cyrus version, attributing the change to music business complications and reaffirming that disputes or blame do not lie with Cyrus. Fans had speculated that her team might have blocked the release, but Harris took responsibility for the miscommunication. Jessie Reyez herself shared a clip of the new version, which appears to follow Harris' original plan for the song prior to Cyrus recording her vocals.
