Miley Cyrus’ “Backyard Sessions” have been a huge hit since 2012! Five times now, the Tennessee-born singer has turned her garden into a stage, performing special sets filled with her biggest hits and some surprise cover songs. But one of the most unforgettable moments? When Miley invited her younger sister, Noah Cyrus, to join her for a duet of Noah’s own song. Their breathtaking performance went viral, racking up over 13 million views!
The song they sang together, “I Got So High That I Saw Jesus,” has a gospel-like feel, even though its lyrics are a bit more psychedelic. Noah first released this emotional country song in 2020 as part of her second EP, “The End of Everything.” While the original music video has pulled in over 7 million YouTube views, the version with Miley has nearly doubled that number in the same amount of time!
It’s easy to see why fans can’t get enough of this duet. From the very first note, Miley and Noah’s voices blend so beautifully that it gives you chills. Their similar tones and matching vibratos make their harmonies sound absolutely perfect. Then, out of nowhere, Noah hits some high notes that are packed with raw emotion, showing off her powerful vocal range. It’s a performance that truly takes your breath away.
With Miley wearing emerald green eyeshadow that perfectly matches the lush greenery around her, she does her best to let Noah shine. But let’s be real—Miley is a superstar, and it’s impossible not to watch her as she sings effortlessly, making it all look so easy.
This isn’t Miley’s first legendary Backyard Sessions duet. Back in 2015, she teamed up with rock icon Joan Jett, Laura Jane Grace, Atom Williams, and Melanie for an unforgettable session. That same year, her duet with Ariana Grande on Crowded House’s 1986 classic “Don’t Dream It’s Over” became a YouTube sensation, racking up a jaw-dropping 127 million views. When they performed the song again at Ariana’s One Love Manchester benefit concert in 2017, the emotions were overwhelming. With Ariana struggling to hit the low notes, the flawless Backyard Sessions version remains the ultimate fan favorite.
But if we’re talking about the biggest Backyard Sessions performance ever, nothing beats Miley’s 2012 cover of her godmother Dolly Parton’s classic hit “Jolene.” That video has skyrocketed to 493 million views! It was part of Miley’s very first Backyard Sessions set, and even back then, she proved she could set the bar sky-high. And she keeps delivering—her 2023 Backyard Sessions performance of her chart-topping hit “Flowers” has already racked up 110 million views!
Miley and Noah Cyrus’ duet is a magical performance filled with stunning harmonies and deep emotion. Their connection as sisters and musicians shines through, making this one of the most unforgettable moments in Backyard Sessions history. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out—go watch it now!
