Cyrus gushed over the “top tier” Beyoncé, before comparing her to some music icons.
“Getting to see her show live, it feels like a moment of where you talk to someone about getting to see Prince or someone that’s the best of the best. Michael Jackson,” Cyrus said.
Beyoncé is not just great as a performer, but as a person too, Cyrus said.
“She really is exactly what you’d wanna see on and off the stage,” she said of Beyoncé, before further praising the singer’s “grace” and “confidence.”
“I think that she deserves to kind of have this queen essence surrounding her constantly. I do think it’s so fluid between both of her worlds, and between the persona and personally. It’s always been really well integrated,” Cyrus said. “It feels like who she is on stage is an elevated, kind of eccentric version of who she is day-to-day.”
Miley Cyrus’ Life-Long Love for Beyoncé
Cyrus’ love for Beyoncé is nothing new. In fact, Cyrus noted that she’s been a fan since Beyoncé Destiny’s Child days.
“My granddad got me a karaoke machine when I was in late elementary school. It came with ‘Survivor.’ It had like 10 songs built into the machine and that was one of them,” Cyrus said of the girl group’s 2001 hit. “I would do that.”
From that moment on, Cyrus said that she believes her “life really has been such a manifestation.” That certainly seems to be the case since Beyoncé tapped Cyrus to sing with her on the Cowboy Carter track “II Most Wanted.”
Recently, Cyrus surprised the crowd at Beyoncé’s Paris show with an epic performance of the song.
“To be beside such a humble, gracious, legendary DIVA was a dream come true,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram after the concert. “Thank you for the opportunity to perform in Paris together & sing our song about friendship.”
“To have learned from you & loved you my whole life, & then be standing together in matching gold looks is more than I could’ve imagined,” she continued. “As the finale to this trip supporting [my visual album] Something Beautiful, to close on something as beautiful as a stadium full of people singing ‘II Most Wanted’ with us was the ultimate firework.”
Cyrus concluded, “Thank you B. I’ll be your shotgun rider for life. Big gratitude to the Cowboy Carter tour crew, you all were incredible for making this happen. Forever and always.”
