Miley Cyrus took a brief break from her hosting duties on Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party to join forces with Americana singer Brandi Carlile for an epic collaboration on Friday (Dec. 31).
The collaborative performance featured the superstars singing Carlile’s “The Story” and Cyrus’ chart-topping hit, “The Climb.”
The performance kicked off with “The Story,” during which Cyrus stopped the show to tell fans, “how lucky am I that I get to bring in 2022, singing one of my favorite songs of all time with one of my favorite artists of all time.”
Cyrus added, “It’s chicks like her that make me want to do what I do.”

After performing “The Story,” Carlile and Cyrus went on to sing “The Climb” in the form of a duet. Carlile sang the opening verse before Cyrus joined her on the chorus.
“My hero everybody, Brandi Carlile,” Cyrus said as they concluded their performance with a hug.
Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party also featured performances from Cyrus and Carlile, as well as Billie Joe Armstrong, Saweetie, Anitta, Jack Harlow, 24kGoldn, and Kitty Ca$h.
