Miley Skips VMAs, Teases Hannah Montana 20th & Navigates Exes

Miley Cyrus BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Miley Cyrus made headlines this week by skipping the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, despite being nominated in four categories, including the highly competitive Best Pop Artist. According to Elle, her absence was notable, particularly since she’s been somewhat selective about public appearances lately. Cyrus last attended the VMAs in 2020, and it’s suggested she opted out this time because her nominations weren’t for the main performance categories, although the Best Pop Artist nod certainly remains a major honor. She continues to ride the momentum of her latest album, Something Beautiful, which fans and critics alike have praised. In a recent Elle interview, Miley reflected on how she finds possibility in even the darkest moments, sharing how the visual album’s strong independent reception has taught her to trust in the process and accept change. She described her commitment to any project as running “at a ten,” emphasizing that passion and inspiration guide everything she does.

On the business front, Miley maintains strong visibility, not only through Something Beautiful’s success but her pop-up performances which, according to AOL, indicate she’s not done with live performance, though she’s publicly stated no plans for a stadium tour due to tour pressures and a prioritization of mental health. She’s also been teasing something major for the upcoming 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, expressing nostalgic excitement in TikTok Radio and other interviews, but specifics remain under wraps. Social media has lit up this week over photos of Miley crossing paths with ex Patrick Schwarzenegger at the Met Gala, an awkward moment captured by Us Weekly and widely shared online.
