Miley Cyrus paid tribute to the late Sinéad O’Connor during “SNL 50: The Anniversary Special” by performing “Nothing Compares 2 U.” This gesture comes 18 months after O’Connor’s passing in July 2023 and holds significance due to their public dispute in 2013. The feud began when Cyrus cited O’Connor’s iconic song as inspiration for her “Wrecking Ball” video, leading to an open letter from O’Connor criticizing Cyrus’s choices. Following O’Connor’s death, Cyrus reflected on their past, expressing respect and admiration for the late artist.
