Primarily known as a pop sensation for chart-topping hits like ‘Flowers’ and ‘Wrecking Ball,’ Miley Cyrus also infuses her music with distinct country influences, undoubtedly a nod to her lineage as the daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus. This blend of genres shone brilliantly when Cyrus performed ‘Man of Constant Sorrow’ at the American Institute in 2018, a video that has since captivated over 8 million viewers.
Her rendition was part of a tribute to George Clooney, coinciding with his receipt of the AFI lifetime achievement award. The song, iconic in Clooney’s film ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?’, was masterfully interpreted by Cyrus, whose performance added a robust, country flair that electrified the audience and honored the film’s legacy.

The audience’s reaction was overwhelmingly positive, with cheers and applause filling the air as Clooney himself showed his approval with enthusiastic claps and a beaming smile. Online, the performance sparked nearly 4,000 comments, praising Cyrus for her dynamic vocal prowess and artistic versatility.
Another memorable moment came during her 2019 Glastonbury festival appearance, where Cyrus performed a powerful rendition of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene.’ Adorned in leather and gold, she embodied a modern take on feminine strength, reinterpreting this country classic with a palpable pop energy that resonated with the audience.
