Noah Cyrus lit up the night, quite literally, when she was caught smoking a joint outside Lady Gaga’s jaw-dropping Mayhem Ball concert in Los Angeles on August 2, 2025. The 25-year-old singer, whose 2016 breakout hit “Make Me (Cry)” and Hannah Montana role put her on the map, didn’t just attend the show—she made it her own. Rocking a leather jacket, a sheer black bikini top, and shorts, Noah’s outfit screamed rebellion, perfectly in sync with the wild, theatrical energy of Gaga’s tour. Photos of her puffing away post-concert spread like wildfire online, and fans couldn’t stop talking.
Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball tour, tied to her 2025 album Mayhem, has been packing venues since March with its bold mix of genres and dark, artsy flair. Noah showed up at the Kia Forum for the August 2 gig, one of the tour’s LA stops, and her look was a nod to the event’s chaotic vibe. Clad in a long black jacket over a barely-there bra and briefs, paired with heels, she owned the moment. Social media erupted, with some fans hailing her confidence and body-positive attitude—one X post hit over nine million views—while others clutched their pearls over her bold style and cannabis use. This is classic Noah, who’s been open about her love for weed since flashing her stash on Instagram in 2018 with a caption that basically said she couldn’t care less about the haters.
The public’s split reaction mirrors a bigger cultural shift. A 2023 study found 60% of young adults view cannabis as no big deal, which might explain why so many fans cheered Noah’s vibe. Her 2020 track “I Got So High That I Saw Jesus” already showed she’s not shy about weaving her cannabis enthusiasm into her art. Still, some called her look and joint-smoking stunt too much, proving she’s as polarizing as ever.
Offstage, Noah’s been caught in a family storm with her mom, Tish Cyrus, over their ties to actor Dominic Purcell. Word whispered that Noah dated the 54-year-old before Tish tied the knot with him in 2023, sparking major drama. But there’s hope yet—a TikTok video from April 2025 showed Noah and Tish dancing together, a sign they’re trying to patch things up. This personal saga only adds fuel to Noah’s headline-making fire.
Noah’s night at the Mayhem Ball was more than a concert outing; it was a full-on moment of defiance. Her fearless fashion and casual joint-smoking captured the tour’s rebellious spirit and cemented her as a star who plays by her own rules. Love her or not, Noah Cyrus knows how to keep us watching.
