Madonna Was Ready to Mud Wrestle Miranda Kerr for Miley Cyrus’ ‘4x4’ Video

Madonna’s willingness to mud wrestle Miranda Kerr was a wild plan for Miley Cyrus’ ‘4x4’ music video, showcasing the pop queen’s bold spirit.

Miley Cyrus' Star-Studded ‘4x4’ Video Idea

Miley Cyrus recently spilled some exciting behind-the-scenes tea about her 2013 song ‘4x4’ from the Bangerz album. In a chat on the Every Single Album podcast, Miley revealed that the legendary Madonna was totally “down” to get muddy and wrestle Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr for the video shoot. Can you imagine that? Madonna and Miranda Kerr in a mud wrestling showdown!

Miley explained she had the whole scene lined up to be a star-studded bash, saying, “I had everyone already lined up… Nelly… Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove. This was before Taylor [Swift] had a lot of famous people in her crew. I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a fucking squad, and my squad was very, very cool.”

She was envisioning a wild day at her dad’s farm, filled with supermodels and pop icons jumping into the backs of 4x4 trucks, mud wrestling, and doing doughnuts. It sounds like the ultimate party turned music video!

The Iconic ‘4x4’ Music Video

For those who haven’t seen it, here’s the official music video for ‘4x4’, a gritty and fun anthem from Bangerz:

Unfortunately, despite all the hype, the mud-wrestling segment with Madonna and Miranda Kerr never happened. Miley revealed that her label, RCA, stepped in and shut the idea down. Still, it’s fascinating to know how close this crazy concept came to life.

Miley’s Connection with Famous Faces

Back in the day, Miley was ahead of the pack when it came to building her celebrity circle. She stated proudly that she had a “squad” of famous friends before it became a trend, contrasting herself with the likes of Taylor Swift, who came later with her own star-studded entourage.

It’s refreshing to hear a pop star embrace her cool crowd openly, especially when the vision was as wild and unfiltered as a mud wrestling match on a farm.

Miley’s Recent Encounter with Fans

In other Miley news, she was recently heckled at a screening of her new film Something Beautiful. Fans expecting a live concert got a surprise when Miley didn’t immediately perform. The crowd’s impatience led one fan to shout, “Are you actually going to sing?” Miley handled the moment like a pro by singing an a cappella version of her 2009 hit “The Climb,” instantly calming the crowd.

Madonna’s Exciting New Projects

While Miley’s ‘4x4’ video mud wrestling stunt never took off, Madonna has been keeping busy with her own exciting projects. The Queen of Pop has announced the release of her long-awaited Veronica Electronica album, a collection of rare and unreleased mixes originally conceptualized in 1998 as a companion to her Ray Of Light album. It’s set to drop on July 25, with pre-orders available now.

She’s also teasing new music, having recently reunited with producer Stuart Price, hinting this could lead to a sequel of sorts to her iconic Confessions On A Dance Floor album.

And if that’s not enough, rumors are swirling about a Netflix limited series biopic based on Madonna’s life. The project reportedly involves Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy, promising a fascinating deep dive into the life of this pop culture powerhouse.
