Miley Cyrus heckled for ‘scamming' fans at premiere – but supporters hit back
Miley Cyrus' highly anticipated film premiere took a chaotic turn when a furious fan heckled the singer, sparking a storm of viral backlash and online debate.
The pop superstar appeared at New York's Beacon Theatre on June 6 for the world premiere of Something Beautiful, a visual album and cinematic companion to her latest record.
The hour-long film debuted as part of the Tribeca Film Festival, with Cyrus joined on the red carpet by her creative collaborators and her mother, Tish Cyrus.
'Everybody say 'dysfunctional!'' Miley joked to photographers, posing in a sheer beaded gown as fans gathered to celebrate what was billed as a 'one-of-a-kind pop opera.'
However, not everyone in the sold-out audience was clear on what they'd signed up for, so things became even more dysfunctional than Miley had imagined.
In a now-viral clip circulating online, a woman in the crowd can be heard yelling: 'We thought this was a concert! We paid $800! Are you actually going to sing?'
Handling the moment like a true pro, Miley then launched into an acapella rendition of The Climb.
But not everyone was appeased. Other frustrated attendees echoed that sentiment online, claiming they'd been misled into believing the premiere would feature a live performance.
'You scammed us,' wrote TikTok user @catherinegattii.
@mitchsipstea added: 'Should've made it more clear prior that it was a film (if you can even call it that). Never felt more scammed paying hundreds for something that was basically a marathon viewing of music videos. Something Beautiful? Something Scammy?'
@bhawes99 shared their experience: 'Miley, I flew with 2 daughters from Houston, thinking we would see you perform. This trip is thousands of dollars. This was advertised as a CONCERT. This was a rip off. I want my money back and an apology. FALSE ADVERTISING X100! All the people in the lobby were angry at being scammed.'
However, many fans quickly rallied to Miley's defense, blaming the backlash on poor reading comprehension.
@TasteOfESV fumed on X: 'This actually pissed me off so bad… how dare you disrespect MILEY CYRUS at her own event bc YOU didn't read what you were buying a ticket for?? She has no obligation to entertain you ungrateful people.'
@TheMileyCyrusHQ added: 'The thing is after my experience with the rude fans at Chateau, I would have literally stood up and told her to shut the fuck up. Like I can't take it anymore. Let's normalise Chappell Roaning.' More Trending
@MBC0801 posted under a clip of the heckler: 'Explain to me how u thought a film premiere was a concert.'

@xan_jpeg agreed: 'How did they get concert from anything in the promotional materials?'
In fairness, the ticketing page did clearly state: 'Fueled by fantasy, Something Beautiful is a one-of-a-kind pop opera featuring thirteen original new songs from the Something Beautiful album. After the Premiere: An exclusive conversation with Miley Cyrus.'
Hopefully, after a rocky premiere event, it'll be smooth sailing as the film hits cinemas in the US.

Corrie's Todd left in shock as Theo's daughter Millie drops major bombshell
Theo Silverton's (James Cartwright) daughter Millie (Kaitlyn Earley) once again threatens to drive a wedge in his relationship with Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) in Coronation Street next week. Millie has already caused a fair few problems for Todd. Earlier this year, her mum Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson) walked in on Todd and Theo kissing, after accusing Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) of being the one sleeping with him. The family dynamic was never going to be the same again, though Theo did try. Following the shock, he drunkenly told Todd that things between them were over, before heading back to his car to his waiting wife. They subsequently reconciled, but Millie wasn't happy. She called at the undertakers demanding some answers from her dad, which made Todd feel uneasy. He then heard a car alarm sounding from a hearse outside, and realised she'd vandalised the vehicle with a tin of paint! Theo couldn't see the error of her ways and leapt to her defence.

It's none other than Millie, who is carrying an overnight bag and clearly in a bad way following a falling out with Danielle. Theo heads off to speak with his wife, leaving the teen alone with Todd.

‘I NEED that bag!' fashion fans yell about Next's fruity new accessory as they praise store's ‘insane' summer collection
A GOOD bag has the power to elevate any ordinary outfit into something extra special. So it comes as no surprise that fashion fans are racing to their nearest Next, in a bid to get their hands on one of the stunning new lemon handbags. 6 6 6 6 The store shared some of its favourite summer items in a picture slideshow on TikTok. "Psssttt - wanna see some of our fave accessories for summer?" they wrote over the top of the first snap. They then showed off the bag in question - a gorgeous beaded bright yellow number designed to look like a segment of lemon. "They need no introduction," they wrote over the picture. The £55 beaded bag also comes in an equally cute watermelon design. And it was clear the bag is going to be a sought after accessory this summer, judging by the hundreds of people commenting on the TikTok. "Neeeed that lemon bag," one wrote. "We love the lemon and watermelon bags, Next!" another praised. "Fruitylicious on the beach." "The lemon bag is going on the wishlist!" a third gushed. The summer trend dividing style queens - some call it a 'girl's best friend' but it brings back bad memories for others "Obsessed, beaded heaven," someone else said. "Sold. God sakes!" another joked. Other items included in the picture slideshow were a gorgeous shell necklace, which was paired with a green co-ord. And there are a fair few bags to choose from in store at the moment too. Like the "perfect summer beach bag" - a stunning cream option with tassels and intricate crochet detailing. Cow print is also a big trend this summer, with a neck scarf coming in the pattern to "elevate any outfit". Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. And there are even lace-up cow print loafers - sure to divide style fans. Fruit continues to be a big theme, with a red bag featuring miniature strawberries on it. The comments section was once again filled with people praising Next for the epic offerings, with one insisting: "Omg need it all!" "Next have excelled this summer," another added. "I fear Next is eating the other high street shops up atm???????" a third mused. "Erm ok slay!!!!!!!!" someone else commented. "Your summer pieces are insane!" another mused. While someone else said they "can't afford this". "Next is doing so good this season!" someone else concluded. 6 6

Huge Nate discovery is made in Emmerdale that turns everything on its head
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) body has finally been found after months at the bottom of an Emmerdale lake, but his killer is no closer to being found. We all know that John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) killed Nate, but he's managed to keep his guilt buried for now. With the police scrabbling around for a suspect, both Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) are in the frame. Between Cain beating up Nate on the day he 'disappeared' and Tracy's shady behaviour recently, both parties are left looking guilty… while John attempts to manipulate the situation from the sidelines. As Cain and Tracy continue to point fingers at each other, another shocking discovery emerges, once again turning the investigation upside down. But what does this fresh news mean for Cain and Tracy? As the investigation continues, the police question John over the day Nate disappeared. When the interview finishes, John hopes that he's done enough to protect Cain. Meanwhile, spotting Tracy in the village, an angry Sam Dingle (James Hooten) berates her for accusing Cain of murdering his son. Rattled by the accusations, Cain suggests that it might have been Tracy who was actually responsible for Nate's death. Aghast, Tracy hits back and, as John tries to comfort Cain, he reassures him that the police will clear his name soon. The next day, the police arrive at Tug Ghyll with a search warrant. Tracy is shocked when the police find Nate's phone in Frankie's playhouse. Questioned at the station, she's left shocked when the police tell her that there's no record of the removal man who supposedly took Nate's belongings to Shetland. Will Tracy be left holding the bag for Nate's murder? Speaking on Tracy's suspicions of Cain, actress Amy Walsh said: 'She knows what Cain's capable of. She's seen him see red.' She continued: 'She knows he's not gone off to murder Nate but she fully believes that a fight would have gone too far. He'd have chased him down and he'd have done whatever he could to just get rid of him and get that threat away from his marriage.' Of the moment she's accused of Nate's murder; Amy continued: 'Until she's told otherwise she's only really interested in proving herself innocent, because that's massive. 'The fact that it's then turned on to her is massive. It's like already going through the worst part of your life and having that dropped on you as well.' And the evidence isn't on Tracy's side either – especially given that she's been using his credit card recently, while he was six feet under(water). More Trending 'Just little bits like Tracy using Nate's credit card and stuff like that, because that plants her further in the frame of having a motive to get rid of him,' Amy said. As next week's story continues, Tracy tells the police that she was with Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) on the day Nate supposedly died. Vanessa is shocked when Tracy asks her to corroborate her false alibi – and is thrown off-kilter when DS Walsh asks her to corroborate Tracy's whereabouts with an official statement.
