Miley Cyrus can catch herself dancing and holding her own hand. Yeah, she can love herself better than you. But she can’t like this cover of her smash “Flowers” more.
Cyrus gave his approval to the version of Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick monster kick.
“I love it”, Cyrus tweeted February 9 in response to Bacon posting a video of him and Sedgwick singing the track the day before.
“Clearly, so are we. Thank you for this melody”, Bacon replied to Cyrus.
Bacon and Sedgwick’s coverage kicked off with “The Closer” star alluding to Bacon’s penchant for being surrounded by goats while singing on social media.
“We’re not with the goats, but we thought we’d try a goat song, anyway,” Sedgwick said before starting their performance.
Bacon, guitar in hand, then launched into the song, with Sedgwick more than holding on, even adding a bit of levity by adding sounds of a toy goat throughout. She also wore an “Animal House” t-shirt, possibly a tribute to Bacon appearing in the 1978 comedy.
It may seem odd that Bacon and Sedgwick are covering “Flowers,” but the “Footloose” star played for years with his brother, Michael, as part of the Bacon Brothers.
“Flowers” quickly turned into another hit for Cyrus. It became the most-streamed song over a seven-day period in Spotify historylanding over 101 million streams since its release on January 12, on its way to hitting the 100 million milestone faster than any other song.
Maybe someone should buy flowers from Cyrus for the achievement.
