Miley Cyrus has surpassed her well-known twerking performance at the 2013 MTV VMAs with a new shocking act. As the host of the awards show, two years after her controversial performance with Robin Thicke, the 22-year-old managed to be even more outrageous. Despite the live broadcast being delayed for language and behavior censorship, Miley still succeeded in exposing her bare breast on national TV.
Dodging the censors: Even with the live broadcast having a delay to prevent inappropriate content, Miley Cyrus found a way to show her bare breast on national television during the MTV VMAs on Sunday night. As she was backstage preparing for her final performance of the night, a wardrobe mishap caused a brief exposure. Caught off guard, she could be heard saying over her headset, “Sorry, my tit’s out.”
But the surprises didn’t end there, as the Wrecking Ball singer also engaged in a heated exchange with Nicki Minaj during the live broadcast.
The singer savored the taste of success as she celebrated after her edgy show by indulging in a joint backstage.
Sending air kisses: Miley appeared chill and laid-back following her victorious evening at the VMAs.
Guess who’s back? Miley made a grand comeback on Sunday evening by taking on the role of host for the MTV VMAs.
Letting loose: Miley pulled out all the stops and turned up the heat during the last live performance of the evening, aiming to push the boundaries of risque entertainment.
“Extend your tongues!” The celebrity then urged the crowd to imitate her provocative action. When receiving the award for Best Hip-Hop video, Minaj took the opportunity to address the host of the event for some remarks she had made just days before. The 32-year-old rapper called out Miley towards the end of her speech saying, “And now back to this woman who had plenty to say about me in the media. What’s good?” The 22-year-old singer, who was situated on a separate platform on stage, responded by stating, “We all work in this industry, we all give interviews, and we all understand how the media twists things. Congratulations, Nicki.”
Conflict: The artist known for her hit song “Wrecking Ball” engaged in a heated debate with Nicki Minaj during a live TV appearance.
How can you outdo yourself? Miley took her fashion to the next level in order to surpass her previous appearances on the show.
Impressive arrival: Miley added a groovy twist to the performance. Even when her microphone was muted, Nicki was seen shouting at Miley, who calmly mentioned she has faced challenges before. The disagreement stemmed from a recent interview Miley gave to the New York Times, where she was critical of Nicki’s behavior in a Twitter spat with Taylor Swift. The feud started when Nicki expressed frustration over her VMA nominations, prompting Taylor to respond. However, Taylor and Nicki settled their differences by performing together at the VMAs on Sunday. It seems like Miley and Nicki still have some issues to sort out.
Exploring boundaries: The show-off raised the bar for daring fashion choices seen on television.
Guess who’s peeking through? In the latest outfit switch-up, a pair of eyes took center stage as a top, while lips made a playful appearance as a bottom.
Miley’s vibrant presence added a touch of psychedelia to the background display, with a kaleidoscope of pretty colors. Later on, she took the stage with Rita Ora and a group of performers in costumes, encouraging everyone to shout ‘marijuana!’ before capturing the moment with a selfie stick. With a playful jab at Ellen DeGeneres, Miley quipped, “Ellen you ain’t got nothing on this!” referring to the iconic Oscar selfie taken by Ellen with Hollywood’s biggest stars like Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.
The singer caused quite a stir with her daring plastic balloon ensemble, just managing to keep her modesty intact.
During her performance, Miley brought Rita Ora, Kim Kardashian, and a bunch of performers in costumes on stage. She then instructed the crowd to shout out “marijuana!” before she captured a selfie using a selfie stick.
Sitting back: While Kim was busy snapping selfies with Miley, Kanye West was casually chilling in the rear.
Miley’s effort to top Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscars selfie didn’t quite hit the mark, but it wasn’t a total flop. From the get-go, the pop star couldn’t resist slipping in a drug reference during the otherwise family-friendly show. And that was just the start – Miley seemed to bring up smoking or eating marijuana at every opportunity. In one skit, she and Tyga indulged in marijuana cookies during a sleepover at Billy Ray Cyrus’ house.
“Stay tuned for what’s to come!” Miley playfully hinted at one of her more daring outfits with a belfie on Instagram, following up on a fully nude selfie she shared earlier that day.
“I proudly smoke cannabis,” boasted the celebrity, owning up to her love for marijuana.
During a hilarious moment, Miley shouted out to Justin and joked, ‘Give me a call when you’re legal!’ before dramatically revealing her outfit under her trenchcoat.
In another amusing incident, she enjoyed a cannabis brownie with Snoop Dog, who humorously claimed that her grandma had baked it. The singer continued the party backstage by smoking a joint to celebrate her drug-themed performance, once the TV cameras were turned off.
Despite her wild antics, Miley also took a moment to reflect on her past experiences at the awards show in her opening speech. She jokingly pointed out that the show had been without a host for the past two years, implying that they may go back to that tradition after her hosting gig.
Acting playfully shy: The self-proclaimed hippie confidently rocked her platform shoes while exchanging light-hearted banter with Justin Bieber.
Wow, she’s really owning it! This singer is definitely rocking that body confidence.
Behind the scenes, Miley swapped costumes several times during the night. Reflecting on her various VMA stage experiences, she joked about not being qualified to host the show, suggesting that perhaps MTV didn’t want her to perform. Later, Kanye West stunned everyone by declaring his intention to run for president in 2020. Following his lengthy speech, in which he mentioned using marijuana to calm his nerves before going on stage, Miley returned to her hosting responsibilities.
Nailing it: Jared Leto snagged a photo with the up-and-coming pop sensation.
She couldn’t resist! The two of them got cozy and intimate with each other.
Looking back: The vocalist reminisced about her memorable appearance on the show back in 2013 alongside Robin Thicke. Miley exclaimed, “Wow, now we can see what Kanye is like when he’s high!”
She went on to mention her shared love for Kim Kardashian with Kanye, saying, “Kanye and I have one more thing in common – our admiration for Kim Kardashian. I mean, have you seen those flawless nipples? I wish I was that baby in her belly!”
However, amidst the planned moments, she also had a couple of unintentionally awkward instances.

Miley has had memorable moments at the VMAs, especially in 2013 when she performed with Robin Thicke and a foam finger. The following year in 2014, she made headlines again by bringing homeless youth Jesse Helt on stage to accept her Video of the Year award for Wrecking Ball.
The 22-year-old caused quite a stir among her fans when she showed up on the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles for her hosting duties.

There was no stopping Miley as she confidently walked down the red carpet, with a swarm of photographers snapping her every move. One of Miley’s standout moments was her daring dance with Thicke. The two singers performed his hit song “Blurred Lines” together, with Miley quickly changing into a skimpy gold bikini. Unafraid to push the boundaries, Miley twerked and gyrated in front of Thicke, playfully sticking out her tongue as she danced.
