Miley Cyrus’s appearance at the Grammy Awards on Monday night has raised eyebrows among some of her fans who noticed something unusual about her bodyguard’s umbrella.
The pop star, who won her first Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance for her song Flowers, walked the red carpet with a team of security guards, one of whom was holding an umbrella over her head.
However, some fans pointed out that the umbrella looked like it had a bulge at the end, suggesting that it was a disguised firearm.
Matt Wallace, shared a video of the singer and her bodyguard on Twitter and wrote: “Pay close attention to Miley Cyrus’s bodyguard in this video at the Grammys all is not as it seems.”

One fan wrote: “Auto firearm dressed as an umbrella?”
Another said: “There is more to that umbrella!”
A third explained: “Left Arm longer than Right Arm. It’s a GIMMICK. Real weapon concealed by the black coat. Oldest trick in bodyguard book.”
Some fans also expressed concern for Miley’s safety and wondered if she had received any threats or was in danger.
Miley has not commented on the umbrella controversy, but she did thank her fans and collaborators for her Grammy win on Instagram.
She posted a photo of herself holding the trophy and wrote: “Thank you to everyone who made this possible. I’m so grateful for this moment and for all of you who have supported me throughout my journey. Flowers is a song that means a lot to me and I’m glad it resonated with you too. Love you all!”
