Miley Cyrus knows how to work a room. The 33-year-old pop icon has been a Hollywood staple for much of her life and when it comes to pitching herself to directors for projects, Miley has a surefire method that seems to be working out for her: go to where they all are.

A perfect case in point is Cyrus’ dramatic end credits song “Dream As One” in the new Avatar: Fire and Ash movie from director James Cameron, which opened on Dec. 19 and has already raked in nearly $220 million in the U.S. and more than $760 million globally.
