For weeks leading up to the main event, MTV viewers were bombarded with shocking-ish promos of Miley Cyrus floating through space, flashing her nips, sticking out her tongue, or any combination of the above. (“I’m just trying to watch Teen Wolf in peace,” I would say. “Can I live?!”)
So when Sunday’s ceremony finally arrived, the heir to the Billy Ray Cyrus dynasty had already set the bar pretty high — mostly for the censors, but also for herself. The question is: Did she deliver?
Following a 10-minute opening medley from Nicki Minaj — decked out in a sexy outfit from the Dr. Seuss collection — Taylor Swift and Macklemore (featuring literally everyone), Miz Cyrus finally took the stage.

“I have literally done everything on the VMA stage and none of it showed that I was qualified to host,” she began, after zipping down a giant rainbow slide. “But here we are!”
This segued into a behind-the-scenes look at Cyrus’ Instagram process, which apparently involves a lot of Andy Samberg and Ike Barinholtz telling her to do weird stuff with corn and eye-patches.
We’ll keeping our eye on the hostess as the night progresses, but for now, what’d you think of her big introduction? Grade it below, then drop a comment with more of your thoughts.
