Miley Cyrus had the crowd going wild during her performance at the SNL: Homecoming concert on Friday, especially when she started calling out certain A-list audience members

Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th anniversary with a TV special, SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert, which aired on Valentine’s Day.

Pop star Miley Cyrus was one of the entertainers who performed at the celebratory event. The former Disney star had the crowd on their feet when she sung her hit song Flowers. For the event, the songstress livened it up by incorporating crowd work. As she sang, revising some of her lyrics to honor SNL creator Lorne Michaels and the show hitting the 50 mark, she also acknowledged some of the famous audience members.

One celeb that caught Miley’s eye was Ant-Man star Paul Rudd, who has not only hosted SNL a few times, but also acted in a few comedy skits on the show in the past.

“I love you Paul Rudd,” Miley exclaimed.

She also shouted out SNL legend Adam Sandler. Miley seemed to be having a ball as she performed at SNL50: Homecoming, and so did the audience as many, including Adam stood up to groove with her while she put on a show.

Miley encouraged this, prompting the A-list audience members not to behave like when she performed the song at the Grammys and no one sang along.

“Are y’all doing that Grammys thing where you guys are famous and s–t and you don’t sing along, excuse my language,” she asked, seemingly trying to get the crowd to let loose, which they eventually seemed to do.

Miley definitely set the tone for the rest of the night. SNL50: Homecoming celebrated five decades on air. The program hosted a three-hour special on Peacock from the Radio City Music Hall in New York, featuring some of the biggest names in music, including some that have performed in the past. The star-studded lineup includes Miley, Cher, Lady Gaga, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Bad Bunny, and many more.

The iconic live sketch comedy show has been on the air since 1975, and is responsible for kickstarting the careers of hundreds of actors, musicians, and writers.
