She is “sour candy”.
Miley Cyrus disparaged Lady Gaga after the singer won Best Vocal Album at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday.
It’s worth noting that the “Flowers” hitmaker, 31, didn’t stand up or even applaud when Gaga, 39, took to the stage to accept her award for “Mayhem.”
The “Hannah Montana” star, who sported a black leather jacket and matching pants, remained seated during Gaga’s big moment, unlike other nominees, including Sabrina Carpenter.
Representatives for Cyrus and Gaga did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Fans on social media quickly noticed this disdain, with one person writing via X: “Miley is shading Andrew Watt not Gaga, I’m actually into it.”
On the other hand, one person countered by saying, “Miley’s face when Lady Gaga won? Excuse me?!”, while another said, “I need an explanation why Miley sat in Gaga’s place…”
“The Shade Miley doesn’t defend Gaga. Watt is probably the reason for what’s going on,” a fourth person wrote.
But others came to Cyrus’ defense, pointing out that the rift between her and Gaga was with her producer Andrew Watt, with whom she co-starred in 2020’s “Plastic Hearts.”
“Miley was never going to stand up when Watt was on stage. It had nothing to do with Gaga,” a netizen wrote, pointing out that the two have an ongoing feud. “Learn your history before you talk about her.”
It’s unclear exactly why Cyrus and Watts seem to be feuding, but fan speculation has centered on rumors that the two had a brief relationship while working on “Plastic Hearts.”
However, in a 2020 interview, the producer spoke glowingly about the Disney Channel alum.
“I’ve known Miley[Cyrus]for a long time, I know her work, I’m such a fan that I’ve been paying close attention to everything she’s been doing,” he told Entertainment Weekly at the time.
“She and her team came to me and said they wanted to lean a little more into a rock vibe. It was like a dream.”
Watt went on to say that Cyrus is “without a doubt an artist who always knows what she wants to do.”
“When you’re there, you’re on Miley’s ride,” he continued. “And she connects so intensely with her lyrics. The music for ‘Plastic Hearts’ was among the first three songs I wrote for Miley, and I think it was the second song I ended up writing for the album.”
