Miley Cyrus slipped up big time when asking a fan if they have a pen

Miley Cyrus once asked for completely the wrong thing when someone wanted her autograph.

Today (23 November) is birthday number 32 for the singer and actor, who has released a large string of albums, and has also appeared in a bunch of films and TV shows.

She was even the star of a Black Mirror episode where she played a famous singer under the thumb of a controlling family member.

Anyhow, she's very used to handling interactions with fans, but the fate of all famous folk is to inevitably have an awkward encounter with their devotees from time to time.

A clip from a meet and greet back in May 2019 has recently resurfaced on social media showing the 'Flowers' singer fluffing up a sentence while speaking to an excited fan.

The lucky lady who rubbed shoulders with the one and only Hannah Montana was Rocket League streamer Georgina, better known on TikTok as @georgina_jgr.

A pal recorded the moment she got her turn to say hi to the pop star and also captured a hilarious exchange between the pair as Miley accidentally admitted she had something else on her mind .

A grinning Georgina can be seen pulling out a copy of the Nicholas Sparks novel, The Last Song, and telling her idol that she 'has to sign this' for her.

If you weren't aware, Miley and her former husband Liam Hemsworth met while filming the movie adaptation of the book, leading to a decade-long relationship, which sadly ended in divorce in 2020.

Still, this happened in 2019, the year before they divorced, otherwise that would have added another aspect of awkwardness to the already awkward mix.

The fan added: "I had it in my bag because I was reading it again, this was when Miley and Liam was together though."

As she grabbed the book to sign it, she realised she didn't have the tools to complete her mission and naturally asked Georgina: "Do you have a lighter on you?"

Even though she physically mimed scrawling her signature on the cover, the singer clearly had a bit of a disconnect between her brain and mouth.

The A-lister then laughed: "You know where my mind is...Can I have a Sharpie?"

While some who watched the clip said Cyrus was 'ready to spark up' and joked that the singer was 'air writing but still said lighter', Cyrus has been 'sober, sober' from the big green leaf since 2020.

She explained that she researched her family history and found addiction and mental health issues, which helped her answer the question 'Why am I the way that I am?'.
