Before the show, Cyrus revealed how excited she was to be returning to the VMAs stage.
“S**t’s about to get freaky I can feel it,” the singer wrote on Instagram on August 17. “I hope you’re ready…. I’m performing at the 2020 #VMAs! Tune in August 30 at 8p on @MTV! @vmas.”
Miley Cyrus was hardly the only superstar to command this VMAs stage this year. There were so many epic performers! Lady Gaga was one of this year’s performers, as was Ariana Grande, BTS, CNCO, The Weeknd, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Black Eyed Peas, and more. Casual, we know.
As for the coveted VMAs moon men, Miley Cyrus took home several. Her music video for “Mother’s Daughter” won for Best Art Direction and Best Editing, Deadline reports. After her big wins and her flawless performance, she certainly has a lot to celebrate!
While you can’t turn back time, Miley Cyrus’ 2020 VMAs performance all but transported fans back to the “Wrecking Ball” era. Never forget!
