Miley Cyrus revealed her strategic attendance at the 2025 Oscars, turning Hollywood’s glamour night into a personal networking pitch for her songwriting talents. The singer, aged 33, admitted in a recent People interview that she approached every filmmaker introducing themselves with the line, “Well, if you need any music, I’m around.” This bold hustle mirrors her career evolution from pop sensation to versatile composer, leveraging high-profile events for creative collaborations.
Her approach has yielded tangible results across major projects. At the 2024 D23 Expo, Cyrus connected with James Cameron—both honored as Disney Legends—leading to her writing credit on “Dream As One” for Avatar: Fire and Ash. She casually mentioned her availability during their chat, and Cameron jokingly dubbed them “Legends in law” as the opportunity materialized organically. Similarly, pitching to Jamie Lee Curtis sparked her Golden Globe-nominated track “Beautiful That Way” for Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl, starring Pamela Anderson. Cyrus even extended the offer to Netflix’s Baby Reindeer team for a potential season two song, showcasing her relentless drive.
Cyrus views film songwriting as embedding emotion permanently into cinema. Songs tied to movies, she explained, “become embedded,” evoking the film instantly post-credits. This philosophy aligns with her sobriety-fueled confidence, allowing her to seize opportunities at 100% readiness without preparation delays.
At the Oscars on March 2, 2025, Cyrus dazzled in a custom black Alexander McQueen halter gown with lace gloves and bleached eyebrows, channeling rock ‘n’ roll edge while presenting. Her boyfriend Maxx Morando and mother Tish joined her, amid a streak of striking black ensembles from recent Grammys and SNL events.
Fans and industry peers admire her unapologetic self-promotion, redefining red-carpet presence as business savvy. Cyrus’s tactic proves star power amplifies artistry, potentially unlocking more soundtracks. As she continues pitching, her film music footprint expands, blending pop prowess with cinematic storytelling.
