Miley Cyrus, the renowned pop singer and actress, is known for her love of cover songs, often putting her own unique spin on classics from a range of genres. So it's no surprise that she's a fan of others' covers as well, as evidenced by her recent reaction to Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick's rendition of "Flowers."
The song, originally recorded by The Emotions in 1976, was given a new lease of life by Bacon and Sedgwick, who released their own version on Valentine's Day as a tribute to their long-lasting marriage. The video, shot on an iPhone in their living room, quickly went viral, racking up over a million views in just a few days.
Cyrus, like many other fans, was moved by the couple's performance, taking to Twitter to share her admiration for their talent and their love story. "This just made me cry," she wrote. "I love love. And happy endings. And these two are the definition of just that."
Cyrus, who has been open about her own romantic ups and downs in the past, has long been a vocal supporter of love in all its forms, from her own marriage to Liam Hemsworth to her recent coming out as pansexual. So it's no surprise that she was touched by Bacon and Sedgwick's tribute to their enduring love.
Bacon and Sedgwick's cover of "Flowers" is a heartfelt rendition that showcases their vocal talent and musical abilities. The song's lyrics about enduring love and the passing of time are particularly poignant, given the couple's nearly 33 years of marriage.
In a statement to People magazine, Sedgwick explained the inspiration behind the cover: "The song is about the passage of time and enduring love. We’ve been together for 33 years, and we wanted to celebrate that."
The video itself is a testament to the couple's creativity and resourcefulness. Shot on an iPhone in their living room, it features Sedgwick on lead vocals and Bacon on guitar and backing vocals. The intimate setting and stripped-down instrumentation give the performance a raw and authentic feel that resonates with viewers.
Cyrus, who has covered a wide range of songs throughout her career, has also paid tribute to enduring love in her music. In her song "Malibu," she sings about her relationship with Hemsworth and their shared love of nature and the simple things in life. The song's video, which features Cyrus frolicking on the beach in a flowing white dress, is a visual representation of the joy and freedom that love can bring.
Cyrus has been open about the challenges she's faced in her romantic life, including her high-profile breakup with Hemsworth and her subsequent relationships with women. But through it all, she's remained committed to the idea of love and the power it holds to transform lives.
In her tweet about Bacon and Sedgwick's cover, Cyrus expressed her appreciation for their love story and the message it sends to the world. "Love is the most important thing in life," she wrote. "And we are grateful to be able to share that message with the world."
In a world that can often feel cynical and divided, the enduring love of couples like Bacon and Sedgwick, and the art they create in its honor, is a powerful reminder of the human capacity for connection and empathy. And Cyrus, with her own unique voice and passion for love, is a fitting ambassador for that message.
