Pete Davidson and Miley Cyrus knocked their 2022 New Year’s Eve party out of the park. All kinds of popular talent took the stage, including Cyrus herself. What fans can’t stop talking about, however, is the wardrobe malfunction that nearly showed the entire audience the artist’s left nipple. Of course, this is nothing new — Cyrus’ hair and clothes are often the center of conversations. 

Although many stars before her have experienced nip slips and other wardrobe malfunctions, fans are raving about how Cyrus handled the unexpected incident. Not only did it not deter her for a minute while performing, but she admitted that she enjoyed the whole experience.

In one of her many brilliant performances on New Year’s Eve, Cyrus kicked off the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 with her hit single “Party in the U.S.A.” Just five seconds into the performance, the pop singer began clutching her slinky metallic crop top because the string broke, almost revealing her nipple. 

While many artists would freak out by this point, Cyrus took it by stride and didn’t skip a beat of her song. Still singing, Cyrus headed to the back for a replacement top, coming back on stage in a revealing red blazer to finish her performance. 

She was even humorous about it, adding quips like “Everybody’s definitely looking at me now” and “I’m still in the most clothes that I’ve ever worn on stage” in between her famous lyrics. Fans couldn’t help but praise the star for how well she handled the wardrobe malfunction.

Cyrus responded to Phillip’s tweet about her wardrobe malfunction 

In light of Pop Craves caption of the event on Twitter, saying that “Miley Cyrus suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she rang in the new year singing ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ at her #MileysNewYearsEveParty,” fans were quick to come to her defense. 

One person even used their Twitter platform to correct the magazine. “She didn’t ‘suffer,'” Nicole Phillip wrote. “Girl didn’t miss a beat or skip a t** and STILL delivered.”

And how did Cyrus feel about the whole experience? Exactly how you would expect.

In a truly Miley Cyrus fashion, the pop star responded to Phillip. “Absolutely not! The entire night was pure J.O.Y.!” she quote-tweeted in reply. “I loved every second! 🖤.”

Since shedding her Hannah Montana alter ego in 2011, Cyrus has been anything but shy with her body when it comes to her looks at award shows and performances. 

At the 2013 VMAs alone, Cyrus pulled off some of the most controversial looks of the decade. Namely, her nude latex bra and panties (as well as mouse outfit and foam finger) during her infamous performance with Robin Thicke when they remixed “Blurred Lines” and “We Can’t Stop.” In 2015, Cyrus told On Air with Ryan Seacrest of that moment, “I see someone that isn’t me now.” 

The pop star expanded on the topic in 2017 with Harper’s Bazaar. “In the beginning, it was kind of like saying, ‘[Screw] you. Girls should be able to have this freedom or whatever.’ But it got to a point where I did feel sexualized,” she explained.
