Miley Cyrus Gets Emotional During Star-Studded Super Bowl 2021 TikTok Tailgate Performance
It was a "Party in the U.S.A." for Miley Cyrus and thousands of vaccinated healthcare workers in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday

Miley Cyrus' certainly has the spirit.

The 28-year-old pop star headlined the TikTok Tailgate at Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday, performing hits like "High" and "Edge of Midnight" from her 2020 album Plastic Hearts, as well as past singles including "We Can't Stop."

At one point, while singing her 2013 song "Wrecking Ball," Cyrus got emotional, tearing up and struggling to sing through the popular chorus.

Afterward, she told the audience, "Singing that song, 'Wrecking Ball' about feeling completely broken and shattered ... everyone suffering is different, even everyone's threshold of pain ... I wear a lot of glitter and I wear a lot of armor and I also wear my heart on my sleeve, and it gets broken a lot."

Wearing a black and hot pink cheerleader-style skirt and top with matching kneepads and heeled boots, Cyrus covered tracks including Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole," Dolly Parton's "Jolene," "Heart of Glass" by Blondie.

She was also joined by '80s music icon Billy Idol to perform their song "Night Crawling," as well as rock superstar Joan Jett to sing "Bad Karma." While singing Jett's "Bad Reputation" with the performer, Cyrus stepped out in a new outfit — a glittery, black and pink football uniform.
Portions of Cyrus' performance aired during the CBS Super Bowl LV Pregame Show. While viewers from the U.S. and Canada were able to access the live pre-game content by visiting the @NFL account on TikTok, 7,5000 vaccinated Florida-based health care workers attended the COVID-19 safe hospitality event in-person.
