She kicked off the Super Bowl LV with TikTok Tailgate’s pre-game concert in Florida on Sunday. And while performing her hit single, Wrecking Ball, Miley Cyrus broke down in tears and told the crowd “it never gets easier.”
The singer penned the song in 2013 after calling off her engagement to Liam Hemsworth. While they got back together in 2016 and tied the knot in 2018, the couple once again separated in 2019 after eight months of marriage.

Miley struggled to continue with her song but managed to compose herself at the end, addressing the audience about her meltdown.
She explained that Wrecking Ball is about “feeling completely broken and shattered.”
“I wear a lot of glitter, and I wear a lot of armor, but I also wear my heart on my sleeve, and it gets broken a lot,” she added.

The 28-year-old hitmaker performed in front of a crowd of healthcare workers, who were invited to the game in recognition of their efforts amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aside from Wrecking Ball, Miley also sang her classic songs, including The Climb and We Can’t Stop, and new songs from her seventh studio album, Plastic Hearts.
She also brought on stage her surprise guests, music icons Billy Idol and Joan Jett.
