At least there's one classic song you'll get to hear when attending a Miley show. The video above closes with the opening riff of Dolly Parton's "Jolene." Parton happens to be Miley's godmother.Īccording to Billboard, Cyrus previously performed "Hey Ya!" during her Bangerz opening show in Vancouver, B.C. In the video above, Miley can be found performing a country version of Andre 3000's 2003 hit single "Hey Ya!" at show in Tacoma, Washington.

(Kerry Washington, who passed by the soundstage earlier in the night, couldn’t make it, telling the waiting line of journalists to “twerk hard” for her.Miley Cyrus recently kicked-off her Bangerz Tour, and it looks like the 21-year-old pop star has integrated a special cover of a pop anthem into her set list.

She performed some covers – one obvious, one not so much – and even got two cast members from Scandal to join the audience because the series was taping on the same lot. Musically, it’s fresh and exciting for Cyrus to take pop songs with electronic and rhythmic production and reimagine them with an acoustic country sound it worked better on some songs than on others, but if nothing else, Cyrus was willing to take the risk. a 17-song setlistriddled with hits from her. The singer thanked MTV as she finished the taping, calling the network “brave” for letting her attempt this production, although she probably deserves much of the credit. We have the deets on Miley Cyrus' performance outfits from her Vancouver Bangerz Tour kick-off. Later, she joked, “MTV is paying me in ones so we can all go to the strip club after this.” Her best line? “You can look at life one way or the other - half-naked or half-clothed.” It’s practically a mission statement. The song was written by Florence Welch and Paul Epworth while production was handled by Epworth. 'Never Let Me Go' is a song by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine from their second studio album, Ceremonials (2011).

Even when special guest Madonna arrived onstage toward the end of the show to duet with Cyrus (the two performed a mash-up of Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” and Madge’s “Don’t Tell Me”), not even Cyrus’s desire to rub herself all over Madonna distracted from the quality of the collaboration.
