There’s been numerous buzz round Miley Cyrus’s new single, “Flowers,” this week.
Miley dropped the brand new track final Friday and it wasn’t lengthy earlier than followers began theorizing that it may very well be all about her divorce from Liam Hemsworth.
For a little bit of context, Liam and Miley first hit it off on the set of their film, The Last Song, again in 2009, and so they wound up staying collectively — albeit on-and-off — for a decade.
A testomony to their turbulent relationship, the pair have been really engaged twice earlier than they formally wed in December 2018. However, their marriage didn’t final lengthy, and fewer than a 12 months later in August 2019, it was introduced that Miley and Liam had parted methods for good.
As I’m positive you’ve seen, followers have picked up on numerous fairly apparent hints that “Flowers” might need been impressed by Miley and Liam’s breakup — the primary being that the track was actually launched on his birthday.
In the lyrics, Miley additionally makes a pointed reference to a burning dwelling, which many noticed as a transparent nod to the couple’s home in Malibu, which tragically burned down in the course of the Woolsey fires in 2018.
She additionally sings about being the one who felt reluctant to finish the connection, saying, “I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna lie,” which appears to line up with studies that Liam abruptly filed for divorce, whereas Miley had been wanting to make issues work.
Along with the only, Miley additionally dropped an accompanying music video, giving individuals greater than sufficient materials to proceed trying to find hints.
It was the video that led followers to flow into some extra ~far-fetched~ theories, together with that the video was shot in a house the place Liam used to have affairs, and that Miley is carrying a go well with belonging to Liam. For the file, each of those viral claims look like fully baseless.
However, one principle that appears to have caught is the hypothesis that Miley’s golden gown is a pointed nod to Liam’s former Hunger Games costar, Jennifer Lawrence.
In case you’ve not watched it, the video begins with Miley strolling round LA carrying a golden hooded gown from YSL’s Fall 1991 assortment.
Quite a few followers identified on-line that the classic quantity bears a resemblance to a Prabal Gurung gown that J-Law wore alongside Liam on the LA premiere of the primary Hunger Games film again in 2012.
So, stepping into the speculation, the one purpose followers can suppose that Miley would possibly presumably be desirous to shade Jennifer is as a result of she and Liam have been rumored to have had a fling whereas capturing the four-part film franchise between 2012 and 2015.
And now, of their seek for solutions, followers have uncovered an previous interview clip through which Jennifer confirms that she and Liam as soon as shared an off-camera kiss.
During a 2017 look on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen quizzed Jen on the rumors that she and Liam shared “PDA” on a public outing.
“Have you two ever kissed when the cameras weren’t rolling?” he requested, referring to the truth that they clearly kissed in character as Katniss and Gale whereas capturing the Hunger Games.
Tellingly, Jen hesitates and fidgets in her seat earlier than responding sheepishly: “Liam and I grew up together … Liam’s real hot. What would you have done?”
Andy replied “yes,” prompting the actor to let loose fun and are available clear.
“Yeah,” she confessed.
Now, if you happen to remembered that Liam and Miley first obtained collectively in 2009, you is perhaps considering that Jennifer’s admission is affirmation that Liam cheated and that the gold gown is Miley’s delicate nod to the betrayal.
However, it’s price noting that there have been quite a few occasions Liam and Miley put their relationship on pause all through the years, so it’s probably that Liam and Jen’s kiss occurred when he and Miley weren’t collectively.
Another flaw within the J-Law principle is that Miley has beforehand made clear that infidelity had nothing to do along with her and Liam’s break up, tweeting in 2019: “I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating.”
I can admit to numerous issues however I refuse to confess that my marriage ended due to dishonest. Liam and I’ve been collectively for a decade. I’ve stated it earlier than & it stays true, I really like Liam and at all times will.
So, it appears unlikely that Miley can be making an attempt to shade Jennifer this far down the road — notably being that the lyrics additionally make no reference to dishonest.
And with that, I believe it’s secure to say that the case is closed.
