Miley Cyrus says she knew she was going to win her first Grammy last year for "Flowers" when she saw another "MC" at the show. "The reason that I never got a Grammy before was because it was never my compass. It was not my North Star," the singer told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night's (June 4) show.
That's why she was so genuinely surprised when she did win, even though she almost didn't make it because she got stuck in traffic in the rain on the way to the broadcast. "Once I saw Mariah Carey I knew I was going to win," she said; Carey presented the first award of the night, best pop solo performance, which went to Cyrus.
"Because I had this whole idea in my mind of, like, the butterfly and that metamorphosis. And she is the butterfly. Her 1997 album Butterfly has been such a North Star for me. And so when I saw her I kind of knew I was going to win because that was... it was an M.C. to M.C. I knew I had to get it," Cyrus said.
