Miley Cyrus Skips 2025 Mtv Vmas Despite 4 Noms - What'S The Socal Tea?

Miley's Big VMA No-Show: What’s the Deal?

Yo, LA fam, let’s talk about the elephant not in the room at the 2025 MTV VMAs. Miley Cyrus, our very own SoCal rebel with a cause, straight-up skipped the glitzy event in Elmont, New York, despite racking up four nominations. No red carpet strut, no acceptance speech prep - nada.

Now, this ain’t Miley’s first rodeo with the VMAs. She last popped off at the show back in 2020, slaying with her signature edge. But this year? Crickets. Word on the street is that her noms, while dope, are mostly in smaller categories - except for the heavyweight Best Pop Artist title. Still, was that not enough to get her out of her Malibu hideout?

Those Noms Tho: Miley’s Still in the Game

Let’s break it down, Hollywood style. Miley’s up for Best Pop Artist - a category hotter than a Santa Ana wind - plus Best Long Form Video for her visual album Something Beautiful, Best Art Direction for 'End of the World,' and Best Cinematography for 'Easy Lover.' That’s a solid lineup, even if she’s not there to soak up the vibes in person.

Her latest project, Something Beautiful, dropped back in May, and it’s been giving us all the feels. It’s not just an album; it’s a full-on visual journey, and Miley’s been open about pouring her heart into it. Maybe she’s just too busy creating art to hit up every award show on the East Coast - we get it, girl, West Coast energy is a whole mood.

Inside Miley’s Mindset: Beauty in the Chaos

Back in July, Miley spilled some real talk to ELLE about her latest work and her outlook on life. She’s all about finding beauty, even when things get messy - think heartbreak, loss, or just straight-up Hollywood drama.

"I can miss someone or something so much it hurts, but still be hyped for whatever’s coming next. Endings like destruction or disappointment? I see ‘em as fresh starts,"

she dished. And on Something Beautiful? She’s thrilled to see it live its own life out there. Miley called it a 'dream' to create and release, teaching her to trust the process and enjoy the ride as much as the wins. With that kind of passion - always at a 10, as she puts it - maybe skipping the VMAs is just her way of keeping that fire focused. Catch us streaming her latest while we wait for her next big move, straight outta Cali.
