Miley Cyrus Wins First Grammy Influenced by Mariah Carey

Miley Cyrus revealed during her June 4 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she sensed her first Grammy win was imminent after spotting Mariah Carey at the ceremony, drawing inspiration from Carey's metamorphosis symbolism and her 1997 album 'Butterfly.' Despite never considering awards as her career compass, Cyrus felt a profound connection—"MC to MC"—when Carey presented the award, which led to her winning Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year for 'Flowers.' Cyrus nearly missed the event due to getting stuck in rain and traffic, but described meeting Carey as equally significant as winning the trophy itself. Later, she reflected that holding the Grammy felt 'healing' and provided a tangible sense of achievement after years of not chasing accolades. She also shared insights about her new album 'Something Beautiful,' which underwent changes after advice from Harrison Ford. Overall, the Grammy win marked a milestone for Cyrus, blending personal growth with career recognition.
