Miley Cyrus Heckled by Fans Expecting a Concert at ‘Something Beautiful’ Film Screening

Fans expressed frustration expecting a live show at Miley Cyrus' ‘Something Beautiful’ film screening event.

Unexpected Heckling at the ‘Something Beautiful’ Film Premiere

Miley Cyrus recently faced an unexpected challenge during the premiere of her Something Beautiful film at the Tribeca Film Festival. The event, which was promoted as a unique pop opera featuring thirteen original songs from her latest album Something Beautiful, turned tense when some attendees mistook the screening for a live concert.

On Friday, June 6, after the screening, Miley participated in a Q&A session. However, the atmosphere shifted when a few fans began loudly complaining about the absence of a live performance. Social media clips captured one fan shouting, “We thought this was a concert! We paid $800!” Another fan yelled, “Are you actually going to sing?”—highlighting the misunderstanding.

Trying to calm the crowd, the event host reminded everyone that it was part of a film festival and not a live show. To ease the disappointment, Miley graciously performed an a cappella rendition of her 2009 hit, The Climb, offering an intimate moment to the audience.

The Film’s Release and Collaborations

The Something Beautiful film is set to be screened across North America on June 12, followed by the UK and other global locations on June 27. Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased here.

Miley produced this ambitious project alongside XYZ Films and Panos Cosmatos, in collaboration with Sony Music Vision, Columbia Records, and Live Nation. The film was directed by Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter, with Cosmatos contributing as a producer.

Miley described the project as her “dream come true,” blending fashion, film, and original music in a perfectly harmonious experience. She praised the contributions of sound masters Shawn Everett and Alan Meyerson, calling her collaborators “all geniuses in their own right” who helped bring the fantasy to life.

Critical Reception of the ‘Something Beautiful’ Album

The film’s soundtrack album, Something Beautiful, has garnered praise for its bold originality. A four-star review highlighted the album’s unique approach to pop music, pointing out its defiance of contemporary chart trends.

“It’s difficult to think of a Spotify playlist that might accommodate ‘Reborn’, which sounds a bit like an Andrew Lloyd Webber show tune written on mild hallucinogens. So while Something Beautiful probably isn’t Cyrus’s most hit-packed album, it does feel like a fully realised artistic statement.”

— Nick Levine

The album’s thirteen tracks unfold over 53 minutes, showcasing Miley’s willingness to take creative risks and explore new musical territories.

What’s Next for Miley Cyrus?

Miley has hinted that her upcoming LP will be “extremely experimental,” signaling a continuous evolution in her artistic journey. Fans have also buzzed about the possibility of Miley taking a subtle jab at Dua Lipa on her track Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved, fueling speculation and excitement for what’s to come.

Conclusion

The Something Beautiful film premiere might have caused a stir among some fans expecting a concert, but it ultimately showcased Miley's multifaceted artistry in a new and exciting form.
