Miley Cyrus, who celebrates her 32nd birthday this weekend, is no stranger to fan interactions, but even the most seasoned stars occasionally have awkward moments. A resurfaced clip from 2019 shows the “Flowers” singer fumbling for the right words in a hilariously memorable encounter with a devoted fan.
The Lighter-Pen Mix-Up
At a meet-and-greet event, Rocket League streamer Georgina (@georgina_jgr on TikTok) presented Miley with a copy of The Last Song, a Nicholas Sparks novel turned movie, in which Miley starred. The book held special significance, as Miley met her now ex-husband Liam Hemsworth while filming its adaptation.
When asked to sign the book, Miley realized she didn’t have a pen. But instead of asking for one, she blurted out, “Do you have a lighter on you?”—even miming the motion of signing. Clearly realizing her mistake, Miley burst into laughter and corrected herself: “You know where my mind is… Can I have a Sharpie?”
The moment left everyone in stitches and has since gained attention online, with fans joking about the mishap. Some teased that she was “ready to spark up,” though Miley has been sober from cannabis since 2020, citing her family history with addiction and mental health challenges as her motivation for change.
The encounter highlights the down-to-earth side of a global star. Despite her fame, Miley’s candidness and ability to laugh at herself endeared her even more to fans. The exchange also showed her playful personality, adding to her charm as a celebrity who remains approachable and real.
As Miley celebrates her birthday, fans continue to cherish her for moments like this—a reminder that even icons have their lighter-than-pen moments.
