Miley Cyrus shared a touching moment with a fan facing one of her toughest battles.
After fan Cash Jacobs was diagnosed with stage III cancer, she posted a call out video on social media, hoping to convince Cyrus, 33, to shave her head for her.
Following the post, Cyrus’ team reached out and made it happen, with the singer picking up the clippers backstage after her October 18 show at the Hollywood Bowl.
Jacobs shared footage of the experience via her Instagram and TikTok on Wednesday, October 21, praising the “Flowers” singer for agreeing to shave her head.
“Are we actually doing it?” Cyrus said in the video, before quipping, “I’ve shaved my head before.”
The Grammy winner shared words of encouragement with her fan, telling her, “You can be soft and strong at the same time.”
Cyrus also noted that feeling mixed emotions was normal, telling Jacobs she can simultaneously think “I’m scared” as well as “I can f***ing do this.”
The “Midnight Sky” singer added, “Everyone’s suffering is different.”
The clip then showed Cyrus hyping Jacobs up by telling her, “Let’s go girl, let’s do it” as she proceeded to shave her head in front of a mirror while the camera rolled.
Jacobs shared her gratitude for the heartwarming moment via the post’s caption as well as in a follow-up TikTok video.
“Miley not only flew me back out to LA with tickets to night 2 at the Hollywood Bowl but she took the time to meet me after and help me through one of the scariest and most intimate moments of my life,” Jacobs explained via the post’s caption.
She continued, “Finding out I had breast cancer, getting a port put in my chest and starting chemo was hard enough as it is. Never mind the side effects I’d soon be facing from the chemo.”
Noting that Cyrus’ music had often helped her navigate through difficult periods in her life, Jacobs explained how she successfully tried to get the attention of Cyrus’ team to get her head shaved by the star.
Jacobs went on to describe the encounter as an “opportunity of a lifetime” and a “wish come true” and praised Cyrus for being on board with the idea.
“Miley is the softest, coolest, KINDEST and most genuine human being I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting and spending time with,” Jacobs wrote. “And not to mention her SHAVING MY F***KING HEAD!!!!!! WHAT?!?”
Cyrus’ Hollywood Bowl performances were the “Wrecking Ball” singer’s first full concert in four years after she stepped away from live touring.
