They came in like a wrecking ball.
Miley Cyrus, the Disney child star turned pop sensation, was heckled by fans at the world premiere of her “Something Beautiful” long-form music video screening during the Tribeca Film Festival, footage of the awkward exchange showed.
Fans who attended the special screening at The Beacon Theatre were seemingly under the impression that Cyrus would be performing during the event rather than promoting the upcoming film.
“We thought this was a concert, we paid $800,” one person shouted at her during the Q&A segment that took place on stage after the film.
“Are you actually going to sing?” another person questioned.
The festival promoted Friday’s event as a “one-of-a-kind pop opera featuring thirteen original new songs from the Something Beautiful album” with “an exclusive conversation” with the three-time Grammy winner after the 55-minute project aired.
However, some fans who purchased their tickets on resale websites accused the third-party ticketing platforms of misleading them.
A user on X posted a screenshot from a Google search of the event, which read “Miley Cyrus Tickets & 2025 Endless Summer Vacation Tour Dates — though the “Used To Be Young” singer is not on tour and the “Endless Summer Vacation” record came out in 2023.
“This is the link I clicked on to buy. Says concert tour dates not movie dates,” the fan alleged on X.
Other fans who allegedly bought resale tickets were stunned that the expensive event wasn’t a concert and even left early out of frustration, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“No one would’ve spent this much money if we had known,” an attendee told the outlet. “She doesn’t tour, she doesn’t play live often.”
As of May 27, resale tickets for the Upper Balcony on Vivid Seats started at $510 and became more expensive closer to the stage.
The Post reached out to Vivid Seats for comment.
The “Flowers” hitmaker eventually gave in to the hecklers’ requests and sang her hit “The Climb” in a cappella fashion.
Tickets to see the “Hannah Montana” alum’s visual album and conversation at the 2,600-seat venue were initially sold on Ticketmaster and titled “Miley Cyrus World Premiere of Something Beautiful.”
It was one of the rare opportunities fans had to see the “Flowers” singer in person.
“I can’t. Not only ‘can’t…’ because can’t is your capability, but my desire,” Cyrus told British Vogue in June 2023. “Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?”
Cyrus added that she felt disconnected from her fans while on stage.
“Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love,” Cyrus shared. “There’s no connection. There’s no safety.”
The “Party in the USA” singer’s last big tour was for “Bangerz” in 2014.
Cyrus performed in over 70 shows on the “Bangerz” tour and followed that up with her “2015 Milky Milky Milk Tour,” which consisted of only eight shows.
On top of feeling “isolated” while on the road, the “We Can’t Stop” vocalist has a medical issue impacting her performance abilities
Cyrus claimed she has Reinke’s edema, a disorder she described as an “abuse of the vocal cords.”
“It’s extremely difficult to perform with because it’s like running a marathon with ankle weights on,” the star revealed during an interview with Apple Music.
