Miley Cyrus and longtime boyfriend Maxx Morando made a rare red carpet appearance at the SNL50: The Anniversary Special in New York City on Sunday night.
The 32-year-old Grammy-winning singer and 26-year-old musician cozied up for the star-studded event, during which they were joined by Miley’s mom Tish Cyrus, 57.

Meanwhile, her beau sported his signature disheveled rockstar mane, adding square-shaped, glossy, black sunglasses.
During the celebratory show Miley paid tribute to late Irish singer Sinèad O’Connor, who died in 2023, as she performed a cover of her 1990 hit Nothing Compares 2 U alongside Brittany Howard and The Roots.

Miley and Maxx’s red carpet date night follows their appearance together at the 2025 Grammys earlier this month.
The twosome, who have been romantically linked since late 2021, have been fairly private about their relationship.
However, Miley opened up about him briefly in a November 2024 interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
‘He looks at life really differently than I do,’ she told the outlet while reflecting on their six-year age gap.
‘He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters,’ she noted.
Then, referencing his approach to caring for their shared pet, she said: ‘Honestly, he’s raised our dog off Reddit. I’m like, “Are you sure we’re supposed to be doing this?”
‘And he’s like, “On Reddit it says blah, blah, blah.”‘
On the other hand, the Flowers songwriter shared that they’re alike in many ways.
‘He’s very similar to me. We just don’t take life too seriously,’ she said about her love.

On Sunday evening Miley made an outfit change for her rendition of Nothing Compares 2 U, during which she was accompanied by Brittany on vocals and the guitar.
The song was originally performed by Prince on a 1984 demo, with the late singer officially releasing it in 1985 with his band The Family.
O’Connor recorded and included her own version on her 1990 album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got.
For her SNL 50 slot, the former Hannah Montana tween star slipped into a clinging, deep purple, sequin halter-neck dress with a midriff cutout to belt out a rendition of the tune.
Cyrus and Howard previously took the stage together at SNL’s February 14 homecoming concert, performing Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen.
Sinèad was musical guest on Saturday Night Live in 1992, choosing to sing a stripped down version of Bob Marley’s song War.
Protesting the Catholic Church’s alleged child sex abuse scandal at the time, she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II at the end of the song, sparking major backlash.
