Thought to be a Concert, Miley Cyrus was Cheered by Fans at the Screening of the Film 'SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL'

Kapanlagi.com - The premiere screening of the visual album SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL by Miley Cyrus at the Tribeca Festival turned chaotic after some audience members were disappointed, thinking the event was a concert. Tickets sold for up to US$800 made fans feel cheated, leading them to shout at Miley to sing during the Q&A session. The atmosphere became tense when several people yelled, “We thought this was a concert!” and “Are you going to sing?!”

Miley appeared surprised by the fans' persistent requests. However, she eventually responded casually and asked an audience member to start singing the song THE CLIMB first. After that fan sang the first verse, Miley joined in and performed the hit song from the Hannah Montana era a cappella, which was met with enthusiastic applause and singing along from the audience.

Although the situation was somewhat unfavorable, many netizens praised Miley's calm and professional demeanor. On the other hand, some fans who felt wronged defended themselves by stating they purchased tickets through a resale platform that misadvertised the event as part of Miley's concert tour. In fact, the singer had previously explained that this film was a form of her virtual tour for the latest album.

1. The Film 'SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL' is Not Part of the Concert Tour

Miley Cyrus does not plan a concert tour for her latest album SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. In an interview with Zane Lowe, she mentioned that this film is an alternative form of a tour, and she intentionally wants to present her music in a personal and artistic visual format. Initially, Miley had the idea to perform in exotic locations like forests and pyramids, but actor Harrison Ford suggested that she reconsider that expensive plan.

Eventually, Miley decided to create a 55-minute film as a representation of her new album. This project was developed with Brendan Walter and Jacob Bixenman as directors, and Panos Cosmatos as producer. The film will be shown in limited release in theaters across the United States on June 12.

The incident at the film screening triggered a variety of reactions on social media. Most netizens defended Miley, calling the protesting fans "spoiled and rude". They argued that the event information was clear enough and never mentioned a live concert.

However, there were also fans who claimed to have been deceived because they bought tickets from resale sites, which presented the event description as part of Miley's concert tour. Some of them shared screenshots as evidence to show that the mistake was not entirely on their part. Nevertheless, many still believe that Miley's response, which remained professional and pleased her fans, demonstrated her class and maturity as a performer.

Miley also took the time to thank her fans through an Instagram post on June 7, referring to the screening night as a truly SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL moment and sharing several photos of her time with the audience.
