Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard Pay Tribute to Sinéad O'Connor on SNL50

The duo performed 'Nothing Compares 2 U' in honor of the late singer, reflecting on her legacy and past controversies.

Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard delivered a heartfelt rendition of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' during the SNL50 Anniversary Special, accompanied by The Roots.
The performance honored Sinéad O'Connor, who passed away in 2023, and marked a reconciliation with Cyrus after their public feud over a decade ago.
O'Connor's 1992 SNL appearance, where she protested the Catholic Church's handling of child abuse by tearing a photo of Pope John Paul II, remains one of the show's most controversial moments.
Cyrus previously acknowledged her misunderstanding of O'Connor's mental health struggles during their 2013 dispute, expressing regret and admiration for the late artist.
The tribute highlighted O'Connor's enduring influence on music and activism, as well as her complex relationship with the entertainment industry and public perception.
