Every few years, like the Olympics or some random comet, a certain thing happens without fail...
People discover that Miley Cyrus can, in fact, sing.
Gay culture is listening to straight people being surprised that Miley Cyrus can sing. #GRAMMYs
It usually involves someone re-discovering her 2012 "backyard sessions" performance of "Jolene."

Like, this is the top comment on that video: "Shit man, I always thought of this girl as a Disney princess, but watching her with Metallica and other covers including this one she clearly has a HIGH vocal range and talent."
Sometimes, it's someone finding her duet of "Don't Dream It's Over" with Ariana Grande.

Or, more recently, her cover of Britney Spears's "Gimme More."

And it's one for the history books.
This Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton medley is one of the greatest performances of all time. 😭
We're talking actual tears.

Brain chemistry is being altered.
This has altered my brain chemistry
I know I'm a bit dramatic, but this is really, really *that* good.
Miley’s new years eve with Dolly is the new standard
Give yourself five minutes and 59 seconds and just watch.
This is STUNNING if you have 5 minutes. Dolly is Miley’s Godmother. https://t.co/jtz9RJmNOp
I need this on Spotify, a Dolly/Miley tour, an honorary Grammy award, a Presidential medal of honor, etc.
Now, excuse me while I wait patiently for Miley's new single "Flowers."
NEW YEAR, NEW MILEY, NEW SINGLE. FLOWERS JANUARY 13.
