Miley Cyrus has recently stirred up a peculiar rumor about Beyoncé, leaving fans bewildered! While she presented the Record of the Year at the 2025 Grammys, a lighthearted remark from Cyrus sent the online community buzzing, hinting that artists may be expected to publicly honor Queen Bey.
Before revealing the winner, Miley quipped, “As selected by the 13,000 voting members of the Recording Academy, the Grammy goes to… Even if it’s not you, Beyoncé, I might just say it is.”
social media exploded with fans noting how closely her comment resembled the ongoing “Thank You, Beyoncé” theory.
Exploring the theory
The odd theory, which gained traction on TikTok last year, suggests that top artists feel obliged to mention Beyoncé in their acceptance speeches, regardless of her involvement in their achievements. This has been attributed to her significant influence, with speculation that it’s more than mere respect.
Various award show incidences have been highlighted as “evidence”:
- 2009 VMAs: Kanye West memorably interrupted Taylor Swift to exclaim, “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!”
- 2017 Grammys: Adele dedicated her win to Beyoncé, labeling her the “artist of my life.”
- 2023 Grammys: Lizzo emphasized her gratitude toward Beyoncé during her acceptance.
- 2024 Grammys: Jay-Z even referenced his wife in his speech.
Support for Miley
Now, Miley’s remarks have further fueled this speculation. Social media users have shared their thoughts, stating things like, “Miley mentioning Beyoncé not once BUT TWICE reminds me of the conspiracy theory,” and “Why does every artist HAVE to thank Beyoncé? This needs to be studied!”
A TikTok user neatly encapsulated the sentiment: “At this point, it doesn’t even feel like a conspiracy-it feels like a fact.”
Is this simply admiration for a pop sensation, or is there a deeper significance at play? Regardless, Miley has added another layer to the Thank You, Beyoncé narrative, ensuring it remains a hot topic online.
