Miley Cyrus’ recent NBC special was unlike her usual provocative Bangerz tour performances. The two-hour special featured some of her recent concerts in Spain and Portugal, including her iconic ride down a giant tongue slide, working out on a car hood, and dancing with furries.

The show also gave viewers a glimpse into her behind the scenes moments, such as singing with Dolly Parton and spending time with her sister. Most importantly, it showcased Cyrus’ immense talent as a singer and performer, proving that she can deliver exceptional shows without relying solely on controversial antics.

Check out the captivating images from Miley Cyrus’ thrilling Rolling Stone photoshoot.

In the music video for “Wrecking Ball,” the former Ms. Montana is clad in a white unitard that could either pass as a hooded one-piece swimsuit or an outfit taken from the Eighties Ice Capades.

As they belt out the poignant chorus, blue lights cast a glow over the crowd. It’s important to mention that this performance does not feature any nudity, which differs from other shows that were overseen by Terry Richardson.

Last November, Miley Cyrus rocked the stage at the American Music Awards with her hit “We Can’t Stop.” Her performance featured a singing kitty and the same signature tongue-out and twerk moves that she became known for at the VMAs less than a year before.

Although she pulled out all the stops, including foam Number One hands and dancers dressed as cigarette lighters, she managed to slip in a subtle nod to her love of smoking with one performer dressed as a blunt. Despite the controversy surrounding her past performances, Cyrus continues to push the limits and wow audiences with her unique style and undeniable talent.
