Miley Cyrus Shares an Emotional Note to Beyoncé After Their ‘II Most Wanted’ Duet in Paris

THE RUNDOWN

• Last night, Miley Cyrus joined Beyoncé in Paris to perform “II Most Wanted” on the Cowboy Carter Tour.
• Shortly after their duet, Cyrus shared a heartfelt message to Beyoncé on Instagram, reflecting on their friendship and performing live together.
• Cyrus and Beyoncé are longtime friends, and Cyrus has posted sweet messages to Beyoncé multiple times since “II Most Wanted” was released.

Miley Cyrus gave Cowboy Carter Tour attendees in Paris a huge treat last night when she appeared onstage with Beyoncé to perform their duet “II Most Wanted.” The singer felt the gravity of the moment herself, posting a message to her longtime friend on Instagram.

Cyrus praised Beyoncé’s artistry and thanked her for her support, writing, “@beyonce to be beside such a humble, gracious, legendary DIVA was a dream come true. 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. As the finale to this trip supporting Something Beautiful, to close on something as beautiful as a stadium full of people singing ‘II Most Wanted‘ with us was the ultimate firework. 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.”

Fans in the audience shared clips of their duet on social media:

Cyrus actually posted multiple tributes to Beyoncé. In a second Instagram, she added, “II Most Wanted. Je t’aime pour toujours @beyonce.” (“I love you forever” in English.) In a third post, she reiterated the sentiment, saying, “Je t’aime Paris & @beyonce.” (“I love you Paris and Beyoncé.”)

This isn’t the first time Cyrus has written to Beyoncé on Instagram. When “II Most Wanted” debuted last March, Cyrus posted, “I’ve loved Beyoncé since long before I had the opportunity to meet and work with her. My admiration runs so much deeper now that I’ve created alongside of her. Thank you Beyoncé. You’re everything and more. Love you. To everyone who spent time making this song so special thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

And when the song earned them the Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance this February, Cyrus penned another tribute to Beyoncé. “Having your name called is an honor that deserves to be celebrated,” she wrote. “Just remember for those who don’t, nothing can take away the love and devotion you put into your art. I celebrate the unrecognized artists that created something beautiful and shared it with us. Thank you @beyonce for inviting me to be a part of your iconic Cowboy Carter era. Love you forever.”
