Paris, France – Global music icon Miley Cyrus made a highly anticipated return to the French capital this week, headlining an exclusive event for Spotify’s Billions Club Live series. The performance, held on Wednesday, June 18th/19th, captivated a small audience of top Spotify Premium listeners at the intimate Maxim’s venue, marking Cyrus’s first concert in Paris in 11 years since her acclaimed Bangerz tour in 2014.
A Night of Hits in the City of Light
The invitation-only event showcased Cyrus performing a selection of her most popular tracks. A central highlight was her global phenomenon “Flowers,” the hit single that holds the record for being the fastest song to reach one billion streams on the Spotify platform. The choice of Paris as the host city for this installment of the Billions Club Live series was strategically significant, recognizing France as one of Cyrus’s top 10 streaming countries, underscoring the strong connection she shares with her French fanbase.
The concert offered a rare opportunity for just over 100 dedicated fans to experience the artist’s vibrant energy in a setting far more personal than her usual stadium or arena shows. Maxim’s, a historic and opulent venue, provided a unique backdrop for the modern pop superstar’s performance, blending contemporary music with classic Parisian elegance.
Bridging Artists and Audiences
Spotify’s Billions Club Live initiative is designed to celebrate artists whose songs have surpassed the monumental milestone of one billion streams on the platform and to connect them directly with their most ardent listeners. The series leverages video content to create immersive experiences for fans globally, even if they are not present at the physical event.
The Paris performance by Miley Cyrus represents the second installment of this innovative series. It follows the debut event which featured global superstar The Weeknd, who performed for fans in Los Angeles in 2024. These events underscore Spotify’s commitment to creating unique experiences that honor artistic achievement and foster deeper connections within its user community through exclusive content.
Exclusive Concert Film Announcement
Adding further excitement for fans worldwide, it was announced that a concert film capturing the Paris performance is slated for a future release. This film will not only feature the full performance from the Maxim’s stage but will also include exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, offering an intimate look at Cyrus and the production leading up to the event. The film is scheduled to be released exclusively on Spotify, making the experience accessible to the millions of fans who were unable to attend the private Paris show.
This upcoming release aligns with Spotify’s broader strategy to expand its video content offerings, providing more ways for artists to engage with their audience and for fans to consume music and related media on the platform. The decision to make the film exclusive to Spotify reinforces the platform’s position as a central hub for music discovery and fan engagement.
The Significance of a Return
Cyrus’s performance marked a significant moment for her French fans, ending an 11-year wait since her last performance in the capital during the 2014 leg of her Bangerz tour. The longevity of her career and the continued global success of hits like “Flowers” highlight her enduring appeal and ability to evolve as an artist while maintaining a dedicated international following. The intimate setting for her return amplified the personal connection with the small group of attendees, making the event particularly memorable.
By bringing the Billions Club Live series to Paris with Miley Cyrus, Spotify not only celebrated a major streaming milestone but also acknowledged the importance of regional fanbases in an artist’s global success. The promise of a concert film ensures that the energy and highlights of this special Parisian night will soon be shared with a much larger audience, further cementing the event’s place as a notable moment in both Cyrus’s career and Spotify’s fan engagement efforts.
