During the iHeartRadio Music Festival that aired live on The CW, Miley Cyrus changed the world as we know it. She took the stage and covered Blondie’s “Heart of Glass,” causing fans around the world to have an out of body experience and astral project to the concert. They then took to TikTok and quickly added the sound so everyone could post their reactions to this iconic rendition. Fans were also inspired to recreate her makeup look which was a silvery-blue eyeshadow with a bold red lip.
Audiences didn’t just fall in love with Cyrus’s outfit during the performance (which was an amazing sheer jumpsuit and tons of chunky silver jewelry), they loved the way her raspy voice completely changed the tone of the song. In the original music video, the lead singer seems like she couldn’t care less about the person she is singing about. Even though she essentially had her heart shattered into a million pieces, she doesn’t seem hurt. Instead, the original artist is relaxed and poised, keeping her composure during the entire music video.
Cyrus’s rendition, however, brings anger and edge to the song that makes it more relatable to today’s younger audiences. Cyrus isn’t performing a choreographed dance number either, she’s simply walking around the stage and moving her body to the music. She leans into every note and the audience can’t help but dance along with her.
Miley Cyrus has changed her style of music many times throughout her career. She started off as a pop icon during her Hannah Montana phase, then shocked the world with her hiphop/more risque pop music that was featured on her Bangerz album. However, Miley has always had a love for classic rock and country music (anyone remember her iconic cover of “Jolene” by Dolly Parton?). After many tweeted and made TikToks about her Blondie cover, Cyrus put her version on Spotify. This gave fans a taste of what they are now begging for: an album made up solely of rock songs covered by Miley Cyrus.
