00:03 - Miley Cyrus returns to the stage

00:07 in a powerful performance in honor of her 31st birthday.

00:11 The singer gives her followers a look

00:13 at the intimate November 21st celebration

00:17 at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood,

00:19 sharing a series of videos and writing on Instagram,

00:23 "My birthday gift to myself this year was very on brand.

00:27 I performed for myself and sang my favorite songs,

00:31 including my own."

00:33 She adds, "First live performance of 'Flowers'

00:36 was to an audience full of my friends and family.

00:39 Taking this song back to the seed,

00:41 she sprouted sensationally.

00:43 Grateful for the growth in us both."

00:46 'Flowers' was released back in January,

00:48 but to the disappointment of some fans,

00:51 the pop star had not performed it live until now.

00:54 Miley's last full arena headlining tour was in 2014.

00:59 And while the former Disney Channel star

01:01 still performs festivals and brief album tours,

01:05 she told British Vogue back in May

01:07 that singing for hundreds of thousands of people

01:10 isn't really the thing that I love.

01:12 She added, "There's no connection.

01:14 There's no safety."

01:16 She later clarified her statement to her followers,

01:19 writing on social media,

01:20 "I feel connected to my fans now more than ever,

01:23 even if I don't see them face to face every night

01:26 at a concert, my fans are felt deeply in my heart."

01:30 The Wrecking Ball singer ended her message with,

01:32 "It isn't what's best for me right now.

01:34 And if you've been following my career,

01:36 you know that I always change

01:38 and the way I feel about that could too.

01:40 Love you forever, I'm just on my endless summer vacation."

01:44 But the lack of live shows

01:46 hasn't stopped the momentum of Miley's music.

01:49 Her album, "Endless Summer Vacation"

01:51 is up for six Grammy awards at this year's show,

01:54 including the singer's first ever nod

01:56 in the album of the year category.
