Miley Cyrus put herself to the test by covering Madonna’s 1989 Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit “Express Yourself” on her Pride special.
The performance snippet is part of Miley Cyrus Presents Stand by You, which began streaming exclusively via Peacock on Friday (June 25). Filmed at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, the hourlong concert special sees Cyrus take the stage with queer country artists, such as Brothers Osborne and Orville Peck as well as allies Mickey Guyton, Little Big Town and Maren Morris.
No one needed diamond rings or 18-carat gold after Cyrus stunned onstage in an embellished black mesh bodysuit. She packed some extra oomph in the song and put her back into the moves, or, as the singer herself puts it, “put the EX-tra in EX-press yourself,” Cyrus tweeted alongside the minute-long clip.
Cyrus will perform her own hits during the televised event too, including “The Climb” and “Party in the U.S.A,” while also putting her own spin on classics, such as Cher’s “Believe” the “queen” herself approved, Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” Pat Benatar’s “We Belong,” ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” and a special Madonna medley including “Express Yourself,” “Music” and “Like A Prayer.”
