Miley Cyrus Opens On The Moment Her Plane Got Struck By Lightning: ‘It Was Really Scary’
Miley Cyrus just opened up concerning the moment lightning struck her plane in March. After the event occurred, the artist posted pictures of the plane but refrained from talking about the occurrence until recently.
The 29-year-old was on her way to Paraguay in March for a performance when her aircraft was caught in an unexpected storm. In the middle of the disturbance, the plane was struck by lightning, leading to an emergency landing.
Cyrus revealed that she disembarked from the plane safely; however, she was so “scared” that she sat on her mother’s lap. The 29-year-old further mentioned that she felt like something was “off” on the day of the flight.
Cyrus’ Plane Was Struck By Lightning
Cyrus recently shed light on a scary plane ride she was on. The Disney alum was a guest on the May 16 episode of “Late Night With Seth Meyers” and revealed that a storm occurred in the middle of a plate ride to Paraguay.
The singer reportedly left Colombia for Paraguay on March 23 for the 2022 Asuncionico music festival. The unexpected storm led to the aircraft being struck by lightning and startling the passengers.
Recalling the moment, Cyrus revealed that she was “really scared” at the time and sought comfort with her mother, who was also on the plane. “It was really scary,” she said. “I was in my mom’s lap because I was pretty sure it didn’t matter about the seatbelts at this point.”
Cyrus Said The Weather Was’ Unexpected’
After the incident happened, Cyrus shared a video of the storm and a picture of the lightning-struck plane but kept mute about the incident until appearing on the “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

The post caption read, “To my fans and everyone worried after hearing about my flight to Asunción. Our plane was caught in a major unexpected storm and struck by lighting. My crew, band, friends, and family who were all traveling with me are safe after an emergency landing. We were, unfortunately, unable to fly into Paraguay. I LOVE YOU.” Fans and fellow celebrities responded to the post, expressing their gratitude for the star’s safety and her travel party.
The 29-year-old revealed that she felt apprehensive on the morning of the fight. She said, “It was really very strange because it was unexpected weather and a few things that day— when I woke up that morning [and] said, ‘Something just kind of felt off and not quite right.”
The Festival Was Canceled
The plane made an emergency, and Cyrus and her travel party, including her family members, friends, band, and crew, disembarked safely from the aircraft. The festival was reportedly canceled because the venue had “already been flooded” due to the rain by the time they got there.
Cyrus continued, “There was just a lot going on. And everyone’s like— my guys in my band, who are just rock ‘n’ rollers, are like, ‘We got to get to the fans! We got to still play the gig!’ I’m like, ‘OK, no. We’re in the middle of, like, the forest in a broken-down airplane. There’s floods where we’re supposed to be going. The stage is sinking.”
The “Wrecking Ball” star was eventually able to get in the country and perform at Lollapalooza in Brazil a few days after the incident. She recalled, “They were awesome. They let us in a couple days early, and we were able to take a few days to recuperate ’cause all of us were a little traumatized.”
Cyrus Will Host New Year’s Eve Party Again This Year
In other news, Cyrus is set to host her ‘New Year’s Eve Party’ for NBC a second time. She previously got her TV special last year to commemorate the turn of the year from 2021 to 2022, and according to the network, the special will return on December 31 this year.

Cyrus hosted her first special with “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson live from Malibu. It isn’t certain whether the “Suicide Squad” actor will rejoin her this year as co-host; however, NBC revealed that Lorne Michaels would once again take up the role as executive producer for the special.
The performers of the “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” last year included her sister Noah Cyrus, Saweetie, Jack Harlow, Anitta, Brandi Carlile, and several others. The New Year’s special had around 4.4 million viewers in total.
