Clad in a glittery #25 football jersey, Miley Cyrus performed her track “Angels Like You” for an audience of fully vaccinated healthcare workers on Super Bowl Sunday; now that performance is her latest music video. Shot on Feb. 7, the gig was apparently the first COVID-19 compliant live music show of its size in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic nearly a year ago. She also teamed up with Billy Idol for some pre-game rocking, performing covers of Nine Inch Nails and Bikini Kill at the pre-game show. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:&#...
Miley Cyrus Teams With Billy Idol, Covers Nine Inch Nails, Bikini Kill at Super Bowl Pregame Show

Miley Cyrus Shares New Song About Her Late Dog
In 2019, the Woolsey Fire took out large swaths of land in the greater Los Angeles area, stretching from Thousand Oaks to Malibu. Miley Cyrus was one of those victims who lost their homes. Also gone in the fire was unfinished music and instruments. On Thursday, Cyrus shared a previously unheard song titled “Mary Jane 5EVR” about her late dog, Mary Jane. The piano ballad was accompanied by a video that featured private moments with Mary Jane. “I wrote this song in Malibu years ago on a piano in a house that no longer exists. About my dog Mary Jane who is also gone now,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram. The song was produced by Mike Will Made-It, Andrew Wyatt, and Emile Haynie. Listen to the song and watch the video below. Cyrus released Plastic Hearts in November. You can read our r...
Miley Cyrus Says She Enlisted Elton John, Chad Smith and More for Metallica Covers LP
While Metallica preps their 11th studio album, Miley Cyrus is collaborating with A-listers for a cover album in homage to the metal behemoths. “I did a Metallica cover of ‘Nothing Else Matters’ featuring Elton John on piano. I’ve got Yo-Yo Ma, Chad Smith; so many all-stars. I’m so excited about this collaboration. I’m really stoked. I love when ingredients don’t quite fit,” she told UK radio program Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp. It was produced by Andrew Watt, who we spoke with recently. Cyrus previously hinted about a Metallica covers record, following her live version of the band’s ‘Nothing Else Matters’ during her performance at Glastonbury in 2019. She also cited Metallica as an inspiration behind her latest album, Plastic Hearts. That album also featured cool collabs: B...
Watch Post Malone Cover Black Sabbath and Alice in Chains With Slash, RHCP’s Chad Smith, and More
Bud Light Seltzer’s New Year’s Eve livestream was appropriately headlined by the human incarnation of Bud Light itself, better known as Post Malone. But if fans were expecting Posty to stick with his own tracks, they clearly hadn’t been paying attention to last year. Much like how the Crocs collaborator busted out his own take on Nirvana classics toward the beginning of quarantine, he closed the year with “Rooster” by Alice in Chains and “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. And similarly to how the Nirvana set featured Travis Barker on drums, Malone got some help from his famous friends like Slash, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer (and Will Ferrell lookalike) Chad Smith, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney. The stream also included sets by Steve Aoki, Saweetie, Jack Harlow, and Sebastian Y...
Andrew Watt on His Breakout Year, Producing Ozzy Osbourne and Miley Cyrus
Andrew Watt has learned to accept change. The Long Island-born, L.A.-based producer has had a monster year, even if his body yearns for its younger days. “I think my body just woke up and said you have to pee now!” Watt tells SPIN. “Before I turned 30, I’d work in the afternoon all through the night. Now, I’m up at 8:30 and laying down tracks by 10.” It’s certainly been a whirlwind year for Watt. At the top, he produced Ozzy Osbourne’s latest solo album, Ordinary Man, which featured a wide array of guests (like Watt’s pal Post Malone, Elton John, Slash and Tom Morello), along with a band that included Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith and Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan.

Courtney Love ‘Touched’ by Miley Cyrus’ Cover of Hole’s ‘Doll Parts’
Courtney Love offered her approval for Miley Cyrus’ recent cover of Hole’s “Doll Parts,” saying she was “touched” by the performance. In the same Instagram post, Love shared a video of her late husband, Kurt Cobain, telling the crowd at a Nirvana show that Love was “the best fuck in the world.” In a previous Instagram post, Love had called Cyrus’ cover, which performed on The Howard Stern show, “sweet” and expounded on the song’s origins. “I had to write most of the lyrics on my arm in Sharpie as I ran out of paper,” she recalled of the song, which was written in 20 minutes in a bathroom in Cambridge, Massachusetts. “People were pounding on the door as I wrote it. It was played for the first time about an hour later, at the Virgin megastore in Boston. It was about a boy, whose ba...
Watch Miley Cyrus Cover Hole’s ‘Doll Parts’
In case you didn’t know, Miley Cyrus really embraced rock this year. First, it was at a Doors tribute show in February, and since then she’s teamed with Stevie Nicks for a remix of “Midnight Sky” that incorporated “Edge of Seventeen” along with dropping a slew of classic rock covers including Blondie’s “Heart of Glass,” Pearl Jam’s “Just Breathe” and Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.” And of course, her new album, Plastic Hearts. On the Howard Stern Show, Cyrus continued to go after classic alt-rock fans by performing a stirring cover of Hole’s “Doll Parts,” the first time she performed a song that Stern called one of his favorites. “There’s nothing like covering Hole at 6 am in a Plasmatics sleepy tee cause I got to the fucking studio and realized my dress I brought wa...
Miley Cyrus Embraces Her Rock Star Destiny on Plastic Hearts
“It was ALL erased,” Miley Cyrus wrote in a letter to fans last month, explaining how the 2018 wildfire that destroyed her Malibu home took with it her unreleased seventh album. The LP would have slotted in around a trilogy of EPs, the first of which, She Is Coming, dropped in May 2019. But Miley being Miley — a chameleonic mega-star who’s never made the same album twice, pinballing between pop, hip-hop, country and psychedelia — she chose to redefine her sound yet again, abandoning both her lost songs and forthcoming EPs in favor of her latest obsession: rock royalty of a bygone era. Plastic Hearts, Cyrus’s incendiary new record, punctuates the 28-year-old singer’s greatest sonic reinvention yet — a retro-charged tribute to no-nonsense frontwomen: Debbie Harry and Heart’...
The 35 Best Videos of the Last 35 Years
SPIN launched in the peak MTV era, when an innovative — or even just salacious — music video could make or break an artist. Thirty five years later, YouTube is an obligatory part of any promotional push, but no one’s counting on a mind-blowing clip to sell a record. (The views do often matter — just not always the creativity.) A sizable chunk of the best videos came out during the ‘90s alternative bloom, when directors like Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry and Hype Williams experimented with the style and substance of this malleable medium. But the format hasn’t died with MTV: artists like Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar and Miley Cyrus all made this list for a reason — and it wasn’t to meet a decade quota. Here are the top 35 from the last 35. Ready or not, here we go again. – Ryan Reed 3...
