Miley Cyrus Addresses Her MTV VMA’s Performance (Video)

A week on and Miley Cyrus’ performance at the 2013 MTV VMA’s is still a white-hot topic, but now the singer has finally addressed the #TwerkGate controversy herself. In a clip from an upcoming MTV documentary, Miley explains that she and Robin Thicke consciously aimed to “make history” with their performance, and defends her set by noting that Madonna and Britney have put on similarly raunchy shows in the past. She also believes the media is reading too deep into her performance.

I don’t pay attention to the negative because I’ve seen this play out so many times; how many times have we seen this play out in pop music? Madonna’s done it, Britney’s done it. Anyone that performs, that’s what you’re looking for, you’re wanting to make history. Me and Robin, the whole time, said, “you know we’re about to make history right now?” They’re over thinking it. You’re thinking about it more than I thought about it when I did it.
