Singer Miley Cyrus declared her love for Britney Spears on Sunday during the former's "TikTok Tailgate" performance ahead of Super Bowl LV.
Ever since the 39-year-old singer's latest documentary titled "Framing Britney Spears" released on Feb. 5, many, including Cyrus, haven't stopped thinking about her.
"We love Britney," Cyrus said at the beginning of her performance, and also showed her support by adding Spears' name in the song "Party in the U.S.A." as the iconic pop star goes through her conservatorship battle, ET Online reported.
The documentary is presented by The New York Times on Hulu and FX streaming platforms. It revolves around the ongoing conservatorship between Spears and her father, Jamie Spears. The battle came under fire in 2019 when fans across the world initiated the #FreeBritney movement to support the singer.
The documentary will also reflect on how the media painted the "Baby One More Time" singer’s image, ET Online reported.
Cyrus didn't hold back her love for Spears during her performance. The "Hannah Montana" fame star also invited her favorites such as Billy Idol and Joan Jett to perform with her, CNET reported. She sang "I Hate Myself For Loving You," "Bad Reputation," and "Bad Karma" with Jett.
"When folks think of football weekend, they don't always think [of] strong women, but after this, I think they will," Cyrus said, following her performance with the 62-year-old singer, CNET reported. She also sang "White Wedding" and "Night Crawling" with Idol.
Cyrus also sang Blondie's "Heart of Glass," "Rebel Girl" by Bikini Kill, "Jolene" by Dolly Parton, and "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails. She wrapped up her performance with "Wrecking Ball" and "The Climb."
The singer broke into tears as she got emotional while singing "Wrecking Ball," the Mirror reported. The song was written by her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, and she admitted it "never gets easier," referring to their separation. The performance was also special because the singer performed in front of healthcare workers.
She thanked everyone in the crowd and noted that it is her "honor to perform" for them. The singer acknowledged their expertise, said they know much more than her in terms of medicine, and added her "gratitude" toward the healthcare workers was "infinite."
