Overview
- Miley played two sold-out concerts at the Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 16 and Oct. 18 to promote Bass Persuades, marking her first full-length shows in about four years.
- Friday’s set included a tearful tribute to her late godmother Dolly Parton, whom she called a deep personal influence and honored by singing "Jolene."
- Short social videos criticized Miley for not singing every lyric on some hits, with posts pointing to moments when she let the crowd or backing vocals carry songs such as "Party in the U.S.A." and "Flowers."
- On the second night she addressed that backlash directly, saying she would not tolerate questions about her dedication, admitting performing feels less natural now and revealing she nearly canceled the show.
- Cyrus described the two nights as a private experiment in testing her limits, featured guest appearances and new-album tracks, and has announced no further tour dates at this time.
