As Mariah Carey handed her over the gold trophy, Cyrus said she nearly missed this moment as she was stuck in traffic. "I could have missed the award, that's fine, but not Mariah Carey!" Cyrus said as she stood on stage.

She went on to share a story about a little boy to share how happy she felt in the moment. She said, "So there was a little boy that all he wanted for his birthday was a butterfly. And so his parents gave him a butterfly net and he was so excited. He just went outside, out in the sun, and started swinging and swinging. But with no luck. He sat down on the ground he finally let go and he surrendered and he was okay that he wasn't gonna capture this beautiful butterfly. And right when he did is when the butterfly came and landed right on the tip of his nose." She added, "This song Flowers is my butterfly. Thank you".
