Emotional Meltdown at the Show: During the TikTok Tailgate concert, as the young singer, only 28 years old, approached the microphone to deliver her rendition of the popular 2013 song, an overwhelming surge of emotions overcame her, leading to an unexpected breakdown that required her to momentarily halt the performance.

Experiencing strong emotions: As Miley serenaded the crowd with the heartfelt lyrics, ‘Never believe that I simply walked away, My longing for you will forever stay’, her melodic voice began to falter and grow faint. She opened up to the audience, acknowledging, “I may adorn myself with glitter and put on an armor, but my vulnerable heart is always exposed and has endured countless fractures.” Speculations have circulated widely that “Wrecking Ball” holds significance to her former spouse, Liam Hemsworth, whom she officially separated from in August 2019, a mere eight months into their marriage. During an open and frank conversation with Howard Stern in December, Miley confessed that her love for the Hunger Games actor, now 31, remains incredibly strong.

'I wear a lot of glitter and I wear a lot of armour, but I also wear my heart on my sleeve, and it gets broken a lot,' she told the crowd

In front of the audience, she conveyed, “My appearance may be adorned with abundant glitter and fortified armor, but alongside that, my vulnerability is prominently displayed for all to see as well. Unfortunately, it often results in my heart being shattered repeatedly.”

Despite their split, the We Can’t Stop singer maintains that she will always love Liam. She stated that she loved him very much and continues to do so. However, Miley acknowledged that their relationship faced considerable conflict, making it unsustainable. She expressed her desire to have a stable and drama-free connection with someone who can be her anchor when she returns home.

In a candid conversation with Howard Stern back in December, Miley openly expressed her enduring love for the 31-year-old actor from The Hunger Games, emphasizing that her affection for him is still very strong.

During the podcast, she made a poignant comparison, revealing that their breakup felt as painful and profound as a loss of life. Miley described the split as a significant and public event that spanned a decade-long connection. Losing a love that runs so deep can often evoke feelings akin to experiencing a death, she confessed.
