+1 I had heard it before since I live in the world, but I hadn’t listened to it until last night. It’s a primo get lost breakup song. Same category as I Will Survive (not that good, obviously) and Katie Perry’s Part of Me.

+1 not even going through a break up and I jumped around the house to it all day

Happy for all young women in particular to have this break up song.

To me she appears as someone who is living in the moment, taking it all in, and enjoying it all. Living in the moment is something that takes most decades and age to figure out. That was Oprah’s send off when she ended her talk show “live in the moment”.

And I’m not a Swiftie.

There is living in the moment and then there is immersing yourself in the main character role. Those are two different things. Just because you are in the moment, doesn’t mean you are so into yourself you don’t take anyone else’s feelings or reactions into account with your behavior.

Nicely put. At her core Taylor is childish and just something she will need to work on. It's hard to imagine she's only one year younger then Adele

Wow TIL I learned that Taylor is only a year younger than Adele and 3 years older than Miley Cyrus and yet both of those people seem like adults and Taylor... does not.

Stunted.

Miley seems like an adult to you? Interesting. I'm not dissing her, but I guess I see her as more ego-maniacal, self-absorbed, etc. but OK. ("I'm doing this so I can watch myself tomorrow and say I look good." And we're dissing Taylor Swift for being her own main character?) I'm a fan of her music though.

She strikes me as a lot more mature and self-possessed than Taylor. I was surprised to look up their ages and learn Taylor is older.

Those comments read to me as self-aware. She's making a joke about her vanity, in a room where probably a lot of people feel the same way -- they all put a ton of effort into their looks for these events, knowing they'll be photographed a lot and wanting to look good. It's honest and real to make that comment. The joke about underwear was similar to me -- just a joke acknowledging her history/proclivity for wearing very little clothing and a little levity. She did a video that was just her naked hanging on a wrecking ball -- no one familiar with Miley is scandalized by the news that she wasn't wearing skivvies under her outfits last night.

Miley just seems aware of what's going on, how she is perceived by others in the room and at home, and also aware of what other people might need or want to hear in the moment. I genuinely surprised me how much Taylor, who I've always thought of as being pretty savvy, really did not seem to get it.

I also think Miley is appreciating and recognizing this high point in life that often goes unrecognized because we’re busy criticizing ourselves. When we’re young and hot we still want to change this or that. She’s wise enough to know that hell yeah, soak it all in and love it - life is short. Good for her.

+1, she seemed really comfortable in her own skin and happy with where she is at in life right now. It's nice to see someone in that kind of mental place win an award. She was happy and grateful but you could tell she would have been fine if she didn't win, too. It makes it easy to just celebrate with her. Agree: good for her.

This! I'm an old married lady and my break up anthem years are behind me, but I like to put it on to clean the house anyway. Glad my DD will have it to throw on when she needs it. It's crazy catchy and fun to dance to, plus the core message of it just makes me feel good -- we should all remember that no one can love us quite the way we can love ourselves. I wish I'd understood when I was younger and dealing with heartbreak that I yes, I can love myself better than any of those exes could. Genuinely empowering.

Miley was great. Tracy Chapman was so great. Taylor - cringeworthy behavior (and hair too). And I say this as a Swiftie.

The show made me dislike Miley. The song is fine but she is immature and just not appealing.

It was the opposite from me. I’ve always thought of her as crass and immature, but last night she looked confident, beautiful , and was overall just very happy and at peace with herself. Her performance was awesome, and she looked the best she has ever looked.

Same. Miley rocked. Taylor was disappointing but can understand that she is under a lot of pressure and scrutiny this days. Gotta be hard to deal with it even with all the $$$.

Matthew Belloni said the photo with Celine was quickly set up by her team.

"“I talked to someone backstage. The Taylor camp knew immediately this is a misstep,” Matthew Belloni, co-founder of the Puck digital media company, said on his “The Town” podcast Monday. “They were scrambling to get a photo of Taylor with Celine Dion, which they promptly put out, and that was damage control for the ‘Celine Moment.'”

Also, Miley will always be an unfortunately tattooed child. Thankfully she stopped sticking out her tongue every chance she could.

She’s like a throwback to the 1920s. She never speaks. It’s always her father , her husband, and yet she screams out she’s a strong independent woman. She can barely string a sentence together at almost 50. I almost feel bad for her when I hear her speak. Such a shell . It’s a polar opposite to her younger sister.

Nope. Like most of her song, it’s meh.

Nope. Nope.

YEP! YEP!

If you don't happily sing along to the chorus of Flowers, then what is life?

She literally ripped off and repeated the lyrics to the Bruno mars song. Not creative and doesn’t leave me feeling empowered.

Don’t forget her loud mouthed obnoxious sister getting involved in her business as well.
