Miley Cyrus Unveils Spotify Billions Club Concert Film Weeks After Paris Performance

Miley Cyrus‘ recent show in Paris celebrating her biggest streaming hits on Spotify was an intimate affair, with only a few of her most devoted listeners on the platform getting to attend. But now, everyone else can see what they missed with Wednesday’s (July 23) release of a concert film documenting the event.

Now available to play back on Spotify, the pop star’s Billions Club Live With Miley Cyrus: A Concert Film features her exclusive 30-minute set at Maxim’s de Paris on June 18, performed in front of a group of handpicked admirers making up her top listeners on Spotify. Singing a handful of the biggest hits from her nearly two-decade career — including a mash-up of fan-favorite smashes “The Climb” and “We Can’t Stop” — the rare performance gave Cyrus a chance to pay tribute to all of the songs she’s had surpass a billion Spotify streams.

“Tonight we’re celebrating the Billions Club,” the star, dressed in a glamorous blue crystal gown, told the crowd after opening the show with eight-week Billboard Hot 100-topper “Flowers” in the film. “That’s something I’m very proud to be a part of. Without each of you, the billion doesn’t even exist. That’s how important and crucial you are to the success in my life, the confidence and the goals that I’ve achieved because of you and your support.”

The event — and now, the concert film — mark the latest chapters in Spotify’s mission to commemorate its top artists and the fanbases they nurture on the platform. Ariana Grande and Cardi B have both looked back on their ten-digit-surpassing tracks on episodes of the streamer’s Billions Club video series, while The Weeknd played the first-ever Spotify Billions Club Live show in December.

Cyrus is fresh off the release of new full-length Something Beautiful, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in June. With it, the Hannah Montana alum unveiled an accompanying film, emphasizing throughout the rollout that the LP is a visual album.

Her show in Paris was particularly special, as Cyrus rarely performs live these days. The Grammy winner has been open about why she’s chosen not to tour anymore, most recently speaking on the subject with Good Morning America.

“I do have the physical ability, and I have the opportunities to tour,” she explained on the program earlier in July. “I wish I had the desire, but I don’t … It’s really hard to maintain sobriety when you’re on the road, which is a really important pillar of stability in my life. It’s really hard to keep mental wellness [on tour]. You have so many thousands of people screaming at you, so dopamine, you’re feeling a lot of love, and then you totally crash at the end of the show. You start thinking that one person loving you’s not enough, it needs to be 10,000, it needs to be 80,000.”
