Miley Cyrus, get behind me.
On June 6, Cyrus was heckled by audience members after the world premiere of her 55-minute visual album, Something Beautiful, at the Tribeca Film Festival. Following the screening, Cyrus took the stage at the Beacon Theater to discuss the film with producer Panos Cosmatos, but that wasn’t good enough for some attendees.
In one TikTok compilation video shared by @mileyeditions, the conversation was disrupted by multiple audience members who believed Cyrus was going to sing live at the event. “We thought this was a concert,” one fan could be heard yelling. “We paid $800.”
Another yelled, “Are you actually gonna sing?” prompting other members of the audience to begin shouting.
Cyrus appeared visibly perturbed by the disturbance but opted to indulge another fan who asked her to perform “The Climb.” Dressed in a (likely very heavy) crystal Schiaparelli dress and fringe robe, Cyrus remained seated while singing a bit from the popular 2009 track before encouraging the crowd to join in.
Though Miley Cyrus later called the experience “emotional, deep, fun & fabulous” in a positive Instagram post, the video elicited a wave of backlash directed at the “impolite” fans in her comments section and other social media platforms.
“Miley Cyrus, your true fans will never be rude to you,” one fan replied to her post. “We knew that the premiere of your movie was just a film screening, not a concert, and we respect your work in different formats. We’ll support you in every project you have, we love YOU.”
Another fan who claimed to be in the audience apologized for the “bad eggs,” adding, “I should have stood up for u but I felt it would have created even more chaos. The true fans LOVED IT AND LOVED THE Q&A! This is a moment in history.”
