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.”

Cyrus added, “It’s chicks like her that make me want to do what I do.”
