Overview
- Cyrus staged two sold-out full concerts at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday and Sunday to promote her September album Bass Persuades.
- Short social-media clips after the opening show criticized moments when she did not sing every lyric and prompted widespread online commentary.
- At the Oct. 18 concert Cyrus directly rebutted those posts onstage, calling them "clickbait," insisting she puts her heart into performing and saying she would not tolerate questions about her commitment.
- She described getting back on stage as difficult, admitted she nearly walked out before the second show, and framed the two dates as an experience to test her limits rather than the start of a tour.
- Both performances included a tearful tribute to her late godmother Dolly Parton and guest cameos, and the run currently stands as Cyrus’s only planned live promotion for Bass Persuades, which debuted at No. 1.
