LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Selena Gomez enjoyed and cheered on her long-time friend Miley Cyrus during her Hollywood Bowl performance on Friday, October 16, sharing glimpses of the concert on her Instagram Stories.

Gomez shared a picture of Cyrus appearing on a giant screen at the venue, writing, “Speechless at the moment,” over the image.

In another Instagram Stories update, the 'Calm Down' songstress posted a video of herself dancing and grooving along to the music.

She added a playful caption: “When you came to hear Miley song lol sorry @paigeyreed,” followed by a giggling emoji.

The posts offered fans a glimpse of the 34-year-old enjoying the performance, capturing both her admiration for Cyrus and her excitement at hearing the singer perform live.

Cyrus took the stage at the iconic Los Angeles venue for 'Miley: Bass Persuades – Live at the Hollywood Bowl.'

The two-night limited engagement marked her return to major concert performances after four years and her first-ever headlining shows at the venue.

The duo have known each other since their Disney Channel days, when Gomez guest-starred on 'Hannah Montana' as Mikayla, a rival pop star to Cyrus’s Miley Stewart.

The two appeared together early in their careers before establishing successful music and acting careers.

Nearly two decades later, Gomez participated in the show's 20th anniversary celebration, offering a full-circle moment in their shared history.

Miley Cyrus honors godmother Dolly Parton in emotional tribute

Beyond the musical performances, Cyrus dedicated part of the evening to remembering her late godmother.

During her concert, Cyrus delivered an emotional six-minute speech that included a rendition of one of Parton’s most notable songs.

“I only got to see Dolly Parton live in concert one time in my entire life, and it was here,” she told the audience, explaining the significance of the Hollywood Bowl as the venue for her performances.

The singer then recalled asking Parton whether she could attend that concert without performing alongside her, hoping to experience the show as a regular audience member.

Parton agreed to the request but had other plans for the evening.

She opened the show with 'The Best of Both Worlds,' the theme song from Cyrus’s Disney Channel series 'Hannah Montana,' before announcing to the audience that her goddaughter was in attendance.

Cyrus joked that Parton’s announcement had foiled her plan to watch the concert quietly. Looking back on the experience, however, she expressed how much the memory meant to her.

“This memory is gold to me,” Cyrus said, reflecting on the experience of watching her godmother perform at the same venue where she was now taking the stage herself.
