The Wildest Things Miley Cyrus Has Ever Done

When Cyrus announced that the Bangerz world tour would be coming in 2014, fans knew the experience would be unlike any other. Miley made her grand entrance onto the stage by sliding down an enormous pink tongue that mechanically unfurled itself from a giant image of her own head. The formula was wild but expected: skimpy outfits, X-rated inflatables, weed references, and lots of twerking. 

Another aspect of the Bangerz concerts didn't just shock people, it disgusted them. The backup dancers consisted mainly of women of color, including Amazon Ashley, pictured above. The dance routines often featured Cyrus fondling the dancers or mimicking sexual acts. Some felt that Cyrus was using the women as "props." Other critics argued that she was borrowing themes from hip hop culture but making it into a grotesque type of parody. Cyrus denied accusations of cultural appropriation and racism, and later made things even worse in a 2017 Billboard interview in which she seemingly denounced the hip-hip culture she had so embraced.

By 2019, however, Cyrus had yet another change of heart after a YouTuber called her out for both the cultural appropriation and the Billboard interview. Responding in the video's comment section (via Teen Vogue), Cyrus admitted she was irresponsibly speaking from a place of privilege. "Simply said; I f*cked up and I sincerely apologize," the "Jolene" singer wrote, adding, I"'m committed to using my voice for healing, change, and standing up for what's right."
