Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” performance at the 2013 American Music Awards tended toward the minimal, but not because of what she wasn’t wearing this time.
The young star donned a cat-themed two-piece and sang a straight-forward rendition of the “Bangerz” hit, and behind her was a giant kitten lip-syncing the song while being projected into space.
Seriously. That’s it. Why, LOLCAT? In the words of Childish Gambino: Because the internet.
Cyrus showed no wink in her eye, and actually appeared quite emotional toward the end of the powerful tear-jerker, while the semi-static image of a cat peered thousands of yards into our soul. For such a massive troll, we even forgive her for missing a beat.
Cyrus hasn’t exacly been a wallflower at awards shows lately, including her last stop at the MTV EMAs where she lit and smoked a joint on stage.
