On April 2, Miley Cyrus performed a show at the TD Garden as part of her Bangerz tour. It was an emotional show for Cyrus because her dog, Floyd, had recently passed away.
Senior Hannah Smith attended the concert. She said, “Loved it! Best concert I’ve ever been to.”
Every song had a new theme and different stage props, including a huge blow up dog that was put on stage during “Can’t be Tamed.” A replica of a Cadillac truck drove around the stage during “Love Money Party.”
Mount St. Charles High School senior Ally Goralski, who attended the concert, said, “I thought the show was fabulous. I waited six months for it and was more excited than ever. I also thought it was the most different concert I’ve ever been too. [It was] definitely memorable.”
Junior Emma Giddens said, “My favorite part was when Cyrus performed a cover of a Coldplay song titled ‘Scientists.’”
Cyrus released Bangerz in August of 2013. Junior Rachel Ware said, “It kind of sucked that she was crying so much and I don’t know many of her new songs, but she was very energetic and the show itself was awesome.”
The opening acts, Sky Ferreira and Icona Pop, performed for about an hour. Goralski said, “The first one was awful but Icona Pop was wicked good.”
Not only has Miley grown up physically but even more as a person. She strongly stands by her “not caring” attitude during her performances with some of the raunchy selections of clothing. “The concert represented her new personality, because she acted like she was the queen and that she didn’t care what anyone thinks of her,” said Ware.
Asked whether they preferred “New” Miley or “Old” Miley, Smith, Giddens and Goralski all agreed that the “New” Miley is just a reflection of who she has always been.
“Old Miley wasn’t really who she was,” said Giddens.
“I think she has always been the same person and she is just being more of herself now that she has grown up and figured out who she is,” added Smith.
Cyrus’s most recent show was in England on May 14. She will be touring Europe until returning to America on Aug. 1.
