Furious Fan Heckles Miley Cyrus at Film Premiere, Mistakenly Believed it Was a Concert After Paying $800

Miley Cyrus found herself at the center of a wave of backlash following the film premiere of her “Something Beautiful” project.

Many fans were disappointed when they realized that the event they attended was not a concert as they had expected but rather a traditional film screening. This caused a stir among attendees, with some expressing their shock and dissatisfaction, which was further fueled by a viral video of the event circulating online.

Despite the backlash, some supporters of Miley Cyrus have stepped forward to defend the singer. They argue that those who were upset should have taken the responsibility to research and understand the nature of the event before attending.

On June 6, Miley Cyrus held a film premiere for “Something Beautiful, a project that had been highly anticipated by many of her fans.

At the event, Miley Cyrus appeared in a glamorous outfit, wearing a dazzling, form-fitting gown with delicate straps. She seemed cheerful and engaged with her fans, waving and smiling as she made her entrance.

She even took a moment to joke with photographers on the red carpet, just before the event began.

However, what was meant to be a celebration ahead of the theatrical release of the project quickly turned chaotic when fans, who had mistaken the event for a concert, realized that it wasn’t the case.

As seen in a now-viral clip, one bold fan then called out the singer from the crowd, saying, “We thought this was a concert! We paid $800! Are you actually going to sing?”

Some also echoed similar sentiments that altered the singer’s mood. Though Cyrus eventually broke into an a cappella performance of “The Climb” to appease the upset attendee and others who felt similarly, it appeared to fall short of satisfying many of these disappointed fans.

It is worth noting that Cyrus never advertised her film premiere as a concert. However, disgruntled fans may have been misled into believing the singer would be performing at the event due to false advertisements from third-party resale sites, as seen in a screenshot posted online, which are unaffiliated with Cyrus.

Unsurprisingly, some of these fans took to social media to slam the singer, accusing her of scamming them out of their hard-earned funds.

One angry individual claimed that they had spent thousands of dollars flying in with their daughters to attend the event and now wants their money back.

“This was advertised as a CONCERT,” the fan said. “This was a rip-off. I want my money back and an apology. FALSE ADVERTISING x100! All the people in the lobby were angry at being scammed.”

Another irate fan claimed she spent her “rent” money to purchase what she thought were “concert” tickets.

The fan penned, “False advertising 1000%. My favorite artist of all time, I couldn’t be more disappointed. You failed everyone at the beacon tonight…”

One more fan claimed that Cyrus didn’t make it clear that it was a film and not a concert.

They added, “[I] never felt more scammed paying hundreds for something that was basically a marathon viewing of music videos. Something Beautiful? Something Scammy?

In the wake of the backlash, some individuals defended Cyrus and branded the reaction from disgruntled fans as “disrespectful.”

“This makes me mad. We already know about her vocal issues. People are so disrespectful. Props for Miley for evening singing, I know she was irritated by that,” someone said.

“I don’t care if you paid $3,000 – why would you disrespect someone like that, especially if you’re that big of a ‘fan’…? You clearly did not read the site or were ripped off by a reseller,” a netizen commented.

“I’m just so sad… her face. How do people have the guts to be this rude to her? Like, seriously, people, have you no respect for her feelings? She’s giving us so much this era. This is just unacceptable,” another fan said.

In 2023, Cyrus received similar backlash over her comments about not desiring to get back on the road.

“Singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love. There’s no connection. There’s no safety,” she said at the time in an interview with British Vogue. “It’s also not natural. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people, then you are alone.”

Her remarks were deemed as her not being appreciative of her fans, which the singer later refuted in an Instagram post.
