On June 6, 2025, Miley Cyrus was spotted at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. She was present for the premiere of her latest visual album film, Something Beautiful. The premiere happened at the Beacon Theatre and consisted of a screening of the movie followed by a Q&A session.

Many fans were eager to see Miley Cyrus perform live. However, things did not work out as expected. Some audience members began shouting and demanding that she perform live. This created a lot of confusion and led to an awkward situation during the event.

The drama was soon all over social media. Clips of the crowd shouting were uploaded to social media. People began asking why this occurred and who was responsible.


What did the fans expect at the event?

Some people in the audience believed they were attending a Miley Cyrus concert. During the Q&A session, they started shouting things like, “We thought this was a concert!” and “Are you actually going to sing?” These fans were loud and interrupted the event.

One fan shouted for Miley Cyrus to sing her popular song, “The Climb.” In response, Miley sang a few lines without music. But her voice was hard to hear because people kept shouting. This made the situation even more tense.

Many of the fans who shouted said they had paid a lot of money. Some spent up to $800 for tickets. They felt misled about what the event really was.

Why did fans think it was a concert?

The confusion mostly came from how tickets were sold online. Many fans bought their tickets from third-party websites like StubHub and VividSeats. On these sites, the event was not always described clearly.

Some of the listings said the event was part of a “tour.” A few even used the phrase “Endless Vacation Tour,” which is not a real tour. Because of this, fans believed they were buying tickets to a live concert, not a film screening.

The official event was listed as a film premiere followed by a Q&A. But that detail may not have been clear or easy to find on resale sites. As a result, some fans felt tricked.

How did Miley Cyrus respond?

Miley Cyrus tried to stay calm during the event. Even though she was clearly surprised, she responded by singing a short part of “The Climb” to the audience. It was her way of trying to connect with fans and defuse the tension.

Still, the noise from the crowd made it hard for her to continue. Other fans in the audience and on social media said they felt bad for Miley Cyrus. They said she did not deserve to be put in that situation.

People online said the fans who interrupted were being rude. Many said that the event was about her film, not a concert, and that people should have checked more carefully before buying tickets.

The drama at Miley Cyrus’ Tribeca event happened because of a mix-up about the kind of event it was. Some fans thought they were buying tickets to a concert. But it was a film premiere with a Q&A session.

Miley tried her best to handle the situation. She stayed calm and even sang a little to the audience. Still, the moment showed how easily confusion can arise when event details are unclear.

The event has led to more calls for better ticket rules and clearer information online. Fans, artists, and event organizers all have a role to play in avoiding this kind of mix-up in the future.
