Act 1 As images of flowers flash onscreen, Miley Cyrus narrates a poem describing her existential thoughts and ideas of small pieces of beauty in passing moments ("Prelude"). She then performs on a stage as it crumbles and explodes around her and the band ("Something Beautiful"). She performs again in a shimmering, green dress, singing about how she would spend the moments before the world's end with her lover while her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, plays the drums beside her ("
End of the World"). In black-and-white, she tearfully sings a ballad describing a tragic breakup while wearing a glittering bodysuit in one scene and a black suit that covers the top half of her face in another ("More to Lose"). Cyrus then struts through a series of dark hallways and into a dressing room, where she removes the black getup, and changes into a bright teal country showgirl outfit, then exiting to a studio lot. She dances through the lot and into a soundstage as she sings about a lover of hers that she cannot stand yet cannot live without ("Interlude 1"/"
Easy Lover").
Act 2 As lights flash in the soundstage, Cyrus's dancers remove her clothing and she changes into an all-leather outfit. They dance before Cyrus hops onto a motorcycle and drives down a long highway behind bright red lights with a ginormous, orange sun setting behind her. She sings about a mysterious lover that she feels is the only one she is capable of truly loving ("Interlude 2"/"Golden Burning Sun"). Arriving at a shady back alley, Cyrus walks into and through the streets of Hollywood at night, almost completely alone except for a brief encounter with Morando. She dances and crawls around the Walk of Fame, lamenting about the inescapable nature of stardom, as
Brittany Howard appears and tells her that her image will live forever ("Walk of Fame"). Caught in a heavy storm with lights flashing around her, Cyrus screams about being haunted by the feeling that her current lover doesn't care for her anymore, and that she is willing to do anything to make them love her again ("Pretend You're God"). In a New York warehouse, she struts and poses, saying that she is everything any man could want, yet her current lover avoids commitment. She goes toe-to-toe with supermodel
Naomi Campbell, who sings a series of praises for Cyrus ("
Every Girl You've Ever Loved"). On a CRT monitor, Cyrus sings about rebirth by way of ego death and love while dressed in a tiny two-piece black bikini with three liberty spikes atop her head, as a man thrashes around in a different room. She then encounters Morando once again, who she kisses and lies in bed with before he departs and she is left alone ("Reborn"). ==Background and production==
