Miley Cyrus recently showcased her musical talents with an intimate performance at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. During the stripped-down set, Cyrus put her own spin on Talking Heads’ classic 1977 hit, “Psycho Killer.” The singer transformed the iconic bass-heavy melody into a unique acoustic rendition featuring guitar and banjo, even tweaking some of the lyrics in one verse.

Following the rendition of the renowned track, Cyrus playfully crooned her own version of the lyrics, singing, “I love you psycho killer/ I’mma love you forever/ You know I’ll never run away,” as she jokingly questioned the audience if her interpretation surpassed the original.

The performance has sparked excitement among fans, especially in light of the news that Cyrus will be contributing to A24’s upcoming project, Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to the Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense album. The tribute album is set to include covers of the legendary band's music by various artists such as Lorde, The National, Teezo Touchdown, Kevin Abstract, Jean Dawson, girl in red, and Blondshell.
