Miley Cyrus

The 24th Annual Webby Awards is thrilled to honor Miley Cyrus with a 2020 Webby Special Achievement Award to recognize her creation of a positive, digital forum to connect and uplift people amid the COVID-19 outbreak through her Instagram Live show, Bright Minded: Live with Miley.

As we collectively navigate the impact of COVID-19 on the world and social distancing, the Internet has become the most powerful tool for us to support and uplift one another, while sharing strategies to maintain our health. Since its debut in early March, Cyrus' Bright Minded has brought positive and hopeful conversations about which tools celebrities are using to maintain healthy minds, bodies, and spirits as they stay home to over 106 million global viewers, demonstrating Cyrus' belief in the Internet's power to hold space for our collective healing and offer a healthy escape from daily stressors. While covering topics like reliable sources to stay updated on the pandemic, to self-love practices that work for her and guests like Demi Lovato, to wellness tips and entertainment, Miley Cyrus is using her platform to help people follow the light even on the darkest days. For her incredible positivity, and use of digital platforms to connect millions of people and uplift their spirits during the coronavirus outbreak, it is our pleasure to honor Miley Cyrus with a 2020 Webby Special Achievement Award.
