Miley Cyrus’s pop star reputation may have obscured her classic music background, but her live rendition of Blondie’s ‘Heart of Glass’ defied expectations.

Miley, who is 28 years old, oozed rock ‘n’ roll appeal when she took the stage at the 2020 iHeart Festival,

radiating raw energy and wearing a skimpy black leotard. Blondie’s hit gained a gritty edge that fans couldn’t get enough of thanks to her gravelly vocals.

Miley, who rose to fame during her Hannah Montana days, demonstrated her versatility as a solo artist with hits like ‘Wrecking Ball’ and ‘Bangerz.’

She won a Grammy for the feminist hit song ‘Flowers’ last year, and her most recent collaboration with Pharrell Williams on ‘Doctor (Work It Out)’ shows she’s still got it.

With more than 177 million views on YouTube alone, Miley’s rendition of ‘Heart of Glass’ gives the impression of being a legend in the making.

With her brave performance, Miley solidifies her place as a pop icon for a new generation, effortlessly bridging the gap between classic and modern pop. Her music is bold, beautiful, and honest.
