In addition, Miley will star in three specials for NBCU, starting with the one-hour Pride concert special Stand By You, for Peacock. The special was filmed in Nashville and features Miley singing her hits and covering classics “all in the spirit of Pride.â€

“I have had an incredible long-lasting relationship with NBC for years,†Miley says in a statement obtained by Variety. “Many memorable moments in my career have been shared and supported by NBCU. This feels like a natural progression and I am looking forward to creating content that we love and hope everyone who watches does too.â€

She adds, “We’re starting this journey together with a Pride special on Peacock to celebrate a month we both want to highlight with this concert event.â€
