Singer, Miley Cyrus, has said that she’s safe after her flight to Asunción in Paraguay was forced to make an emergency landing after it was struck by lightning.
The singer was scheduled to headline the second day of Paraguay’s Asunciónico festival, which is holding for the first time since 2019 as a result of covid.
Sharing video footage of the lightning flashing outside the red-eye flight’s window on Instagram on Wednesday, Cyrus expressed;
She stated:
To my fans and everyone worried after hearing about my flight to Asunción. Our plane was
caught in a major unexpected storm and struck by lighting. My crew, band, friends and family who were all traveling with me are safe after an emergency landing. We were unfortunately unable to fly into Paraguay. I LOVE YOU.

Cyrus has been on a South America tour and just recently finished her latest show in Bogotá, Colombia. She has also shared pictures and videos from the tour on social media.
However, it still remains unclear whether or not she’ll make it in time for her appearance.
Paraguayan news outlet Extra had anticipated that Cyrus’ arrival would draw fans to the country’s Silvio Pettirossi International Airport.
Asunciónico organizers cancelled the festival’s opening day after Asunción, Paraguay’s capital city, experienced massive flooding and rainfall on Tuesday.
Festival officials announced that the weather conditions will not allow performances to go on as planned.
