Miley Cyrus just reignited a bizarre conspiracy theory about Beyonc?, and fans are spiraling! While presenting the Record of the Year award at the 2025 Grammys, Cyrus made a comment that immediately sent the Internet into a frenzy, fueling speculation that artists must publicly praise Queen Bey-or else.
Before announcing the winner, Miley joked, "As selected by the 13,000 voting members of the Recording Academy, the Grammy goes to... Even if it's not you, Beyonc?, I might just say it is."
The audience laughed, but social media instantly lit up, with fans pointing out that her words sounded eerily similar to the long-running "Thank You, Beyonc?" conspiracy.
Proving the theory
This bizarre theory, which went viral on TikTok last year, claims that major artists feel pressured to acknowledge Beyonc? in their acceptance speeches-whether she's involved in their win or not. Some believe this is due to her immense influence in the industry, while others suggest it's more than just respect.
The theory cites several major moments in award show history as "proof":
- 2009 VMAs: Kanye West famously interrupted Taylor Swift's speech to declare, "Beyonc? had one of the best videos of all time!"
- 2017 Grammys: Adele dedicated her Album of the Year win to Beyonc?, calling her the "artist of my life."
- 2023 Grammys: Lizzo made a point to thank Beyonc?, despite winning for her own work.
- 2024 Grammys: Even Jay-Z-Beyonc?'s own husband-called her out in his speech.
Fans justify Miley
Now, Miley's comments have reignited the flames. Fans flooded social media with reactions like, "Miley mentioning Beyonc? not once BUT TWICE reminds me of the conspiracy theory," and "Why does every artist HAVE to thank Beyonc?? This needs to be studied!"
One TikTok user summed up the chaos: "At this point, it doesn't even feel like a conspiracy-it feels like a fact."
Is this all just admiration for a music icon, or is there something bigger at play? Whatever the case, Miley just added another chapter to the Thank You, Beyonc? saga-and the internet won't be letting it go anytime soon.
