As Tamar Braxton would say, “Please, get your life!”
Former Disney star Miley Cyrus has made a complete 360 since her days on “Hannah Montana.” Now, she tweaking onstage at a Juicy J concert —you know, Mr. “Bands A Make Her Dance” himself.
Sources say Cyrus made a surprise appearance at the rapper’s show at the Los Angeles Hosue of Blues last night. She hit the stage and did her best booty dance as the crowd cheered her along.
After the show, Juicy J took to Twitter to thank the 20-year-old for her guest appearance. “Miley Cyrus twerked on stage tonite! The crowd went crazy,” he wrote.
The actress told Ryan Seacrest that she became obsessed with the dance after filming a movie in New Orleans two years ago.
“I’ve been practicing probably for the past two years, in my own time, in my living room. I can’t believe how many people think I’m good at twerking, which is dope… I shot a movie in New Orleans two years ago and that’s when I became fascinated and obsessed,” she said.
As far as her first YouTube tweak video, which has received well over six million views, she said she’s loving the feedback.
“I’m getting so many people writing to me about it. It’s kind of weird that I’ve twerked for 6 million people,” she said. “I haven’t seen one bad comment about my twerk video.”
