Miley Cyrus supported Britney Spears on stage by changing lyrics to her song ‘Party In The USA’ in support of the #FreeBritney movement. 

Miley Cyrus has become the latest celebrity to speak up in support of Britney Spears as the battle for the latter’s controversial conservatorship intensifies. 

During a performance on July 4th in Las Vegas, Cyrus changed the lyrics of her famous track ‘Party In The USA’ in support of the #FreeBritney movement. The lyrics for the revised version go: ‘That’s when the taxi man turned on the radio. He turned to me and said: ‘Free Britney! Free Britney!’ 

Cyrus also used the phrase #FreeBritney through the rest of the song, even adding: “We love Jay-Z but we’ve got to free this bitch.” 

Cyrus has historically been a supporter of the #FreeBritney movement. In a 2019 performance, she changed the Jay-Z reference in ‘Party In The USA’ to a Britney one to support the popstar. ‘And a Britney song was on’, said the lyrics at the time.
