View StoryHer current tour is set to wrap in Brazil in time for her to make it back to the U.S. before the Grammy Awards on Sunday, April 3, despite having received no nominations.
It is unclear if she will attend. Cyrus skipped the ceremony in 2021 because she wasn't nominated or asked to perform.
At that time, it was because her album "Plastic Hearts" wasn't yet eligible for nomination. This year, that effort was just snubbed, to the shock of many fans and critics.
"The 64th Annual Grammy Awards" will air on Sunday, April 3 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
