Hemsworth and Cyrus even tied the marriage knot in 2018 before firmly calling it quits in 2019.
The special date also marks the release of Cyrus’ first #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, “Wrecking Ball”, back in 2013. Marred in controversy at the time, the music video became one of the most notable of the 2010s, featuring a naked Cyrus swinging on a wrecking ball.

Before the release of “Used To Be Young”, Cyrus will be gifting her fans an intimate backyard sessions version of her latest album, “Endless Summer Vacation”, which will air at 10 pm on ABC.
