The pop superstar performed the 1983 classic during a recent special concert at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles
Miley Cyrus is known for her incredible, dynamic covers — and she’s blessing fans with one more before the end of the year.
On Wednesday, the pop superstar, 31, posted to Instagram to share another clip from her recent, special performance at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. After previously sharing footage of herself singing her own hits like “Used to Be Young,” the singer-songwriter uploaded a clip of her singing a rendition of Journey’s 1983 classic “Faithfully.”
The Grammy-nominated artist offered a moving performance of the soft-rock power ballad in an intimate space, which was decked out for Christmastime, at the legendary hotel.

Cyrus was accompanied by just a piano, but stayed true to the original — allowing her voice to soar and capture the melancholy of the heartfelt lyrics, detailing the challenges a relationship can face when one partner is a musician who’s out on the road.
After singing the iconic line, “I’m forever yours, faithfully,” the crowd — which featured members of the “Flowers” singer’s family and friends — burst into cheers, while she sweetly smiled in response.
The hitmaker, who was dressed in a sleek black gown with long sleeves and sheer embellishments, even brought a bit of personality to the performance. While she fueled the cover with emotion, at one point she joked, “Dave Grohl is coming out of the Christmas tree for the drums,” referring to the track’s memorable percussion and the Foo Fighters/Nirvana artist’s skills on the drum kit.
“Faithfully” is the latest cover in the “Midnight Sky” artist’s roster of covers, as she’s wowed fans in the past by singing renditions of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” Britney Spears’ “Gimme More,” Blondie’s “Heart of Glass,” The Cranberries’ “Zombie” and many other hits.
In the past couple of weeks, the pop star has taken to social media to share footage from her recent live shows at the Chateau Marmont.
Cyrus returned to the stage at the L.A. establishment in November for one her only live sets of the year in order to celebrate her birthday. At an intimate bash, she serenaded her loved ones with stripped-down versions of her biggest hits.
She shared a compilation of footage and photos from the private concert on Instagram and opened up in the caption about how special the experience was. "I performed for MYSELF and sang my favorite songs including my own," the pop-rock artist wrote, revealing that she sang her No. 1 hit “Flowers” live for the first time that night.

Based on the “Wrecking Ball” singer’s posts, it appears as though she returned to the Chateau Marmont for a second concert sometime in December, which is when she performed her “Faithfully” cover, as well as a festive rendition of “Jingle Bells,” her latest single “Used to Be Young” and more songs.
Earlier this year in a May interview with British Vogue, Cyrus revealed that she doesn’t have a “desire” to go on tour anytime soon due to feeling a lack of “connection” with her fans while up on stage.

Shortly after her comments went viral, she clarified that her “fans are felt deeply” in her heart, even if she doesn’t “see them face to face every night at a concert” in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The superstar wrote, "I just don't want to sleep on a moving bus. It isn't what's best for me right NOW, & if you've been following my career you know that I always change and the way I feel about that could too.”
While the Plastic Hearts artist didn’t take to the stage much in 2023, her eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation has garnered many accolades. The project and a handful of its tracks are currently nominated for a number of awards at the 2024 Grammys, including album of the year, song of the year and record of the year, among others.
