Closing out the show at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden, Miley Cyrus delivered a headline performance that perfectly encapsulated the provocative and high-energy spirit of her *Bangerz* era. This set was a highlight of the star-studded Z100's Jingle Ball, a major annual holiday event in the pop music calendar.
Taking the stage on December 13, 2013, Cyrus was a whirlwind of festive rebellion. Dressed in a sparkling red two-piece and flanked by her dancers, she brought her signature controversy to the holiday-themed show, most notably by twerking with a 'bad Santa' during her hit 'We Can't Stop'. Introduced by actress Lindsay Lohan, her appearance generated massive buzz, defining the night with its unapologetic confidence.
The setlist was a powerful showcase of her musical transition, blending the familiar anthem 'Party in the U.S.A.' with new tracks like '#GETITRIGHT'. She also offered a moment of vulnerability with an acoustic cover of Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness,' before closing with her global smash hits 'Adore You' and 'Wrecking Ball,' which had the entire arena singing along.
