During her New Year’s Eve Party special on NBC with Pete Davidson, Miley Cyrus faced a wardrobe malfunction that left her shocked when her top, secured by silver straps, came undone while performing her hit song “Party In The USA.” The former Hannah Montana star handled the situation like a pro, catching her top and quickly making her way backstage while her band and backup singers continued the performance. The incident occurred as the clock struck midnight during the live streamed event from Miami, Florida on Friday night.
Uh-oh! Miley Cyrus experienced a significant wardrobe malfunction while hosting her exclusive New Year’s Eve Party broadcast on NBC.
Oh no! The 29-year-old former Hannah Montana star was singing her popular song Party In The USA just after midnight when her top, held together by shiny silver straps, suddenly came loose.

In addition to Party In The USA, Miley performed a mashup of her recent song Midnight Sky and her controversial 2013 hit We Can’t Stop. Despite her top mishap with its trendy cowl neckline and stylish holes, it was the sparkly straps that let her down.

The singer behind the popular song ‘Basket Case’ took to Twitter to share that they had been in contact with someone who had COVID after the holidays. Although their test came back negative, they decided to play it safe and skip the New Year’s Eve Party in Miami.
Just before Miley Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve Party began, it was announced that Billie Joe Armstrong had to cancel his performance as a musical guest due to being in contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. The Green Day frontman tweeted that he had tested negative but decided not to travel to Miami for the party as a precaution. Instead, Miley and Pete’s show took over Carson Daly’s usual New Year’s Eve special. The network teased more surprise guests for the live Miami broadcast at 10.30pm. Wishing everyone a happy and safe New Year!
Updated: Shortly before Miley Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve bash was due to start, it was announced that Billie Joe Armstrong had to cancel his musical guest appearance due to ‘precautionary’ measures after being in contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. The star-studded event was announced last month, with NBCUniversal’s Jen Neal expressing excitement for the entertainment lineup led by Miley and Pete, produced by Hopetown Entertainment and executive produced by Lorne Michaels. In a surprising reveal, the hosts shared that they once had matching tattoos, but the SNL star got his removed without anyone knowing.
Repetition is key: Cyrus has been posting pictures of their practice sessions in Miami with Pete. The duo made an appearance on SNL back in 2017 as rapping infants, concluding the sketch with the phrase, ‘We babies’.
Reflecting on the experience, Miley explained, ‘We were decked out in baby attire, everything was fun and games. Then out of nowhere, we both decided, ‘Hey, let’s get a tattoo… why not?’
Pete chimed in, ‘And we did… until I decided to get rid of mine, while Miley still proudly sports hers.’ It wasn’t until Miley caught sight of Pete getting his tattoo removed in an advertisement that she realized his change of heart.
Amused, she remarked, ‘Here’s Pete, sipping Smartwater and erasing his tattoos… and there goes our ‘we babies’ ink.’ Pete jokingly responded, ‘Guess we’re no longer babies, huh?’
Exciting celebrities! The upcoming NBC event to welcome in 2022 will include live performances by popular artists such as Saweetie, Jack Harlow, Brandi Carlile, Anitta, and many others.
