'Leave her alone': Fans defend Miley Cyrus as critics compare her split toe heels to horse 'hooves'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Miley Cyrus emerged as one of the standout moments of the 2024 Grammy Awards by securing her first-ever Grammy win. However, her choice of split-toe shoes on the red carpet drew the ire of some fashion critics, although her fans swiftly came to her defense.

In a recent buzzworthy moment, Cyrus sparked speculation among fans who suggested that she may have subtly referenced her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, during her performance of the hit song 'Flowers' at the Grammys in Los Angeles.

Observers noted slight alterations in the song's lyrics, leading to a fresh interpretation of the popular breakup anthem, following her triumph in the Best Pop Solo Performance category.
