Miley CyrusĀ has become a familiar figure at Studio 8H.Ā
This weekend, the Grammy-nominated singer returned toĀ Saturday Night LiveĀ to serve as musical guest for the sixth time in her career. Cyrus, who last appeared on the series during an April 2020 at-home episode, kicked things off with a performance of āWithout Youā with The Kid Laroi.
In her second performance of the night, she performed āPlastic Heartsā from her seventh studio album,Ā Plastic Hearts,Ā which arrived back in November.Ā
This weekās episode of SNL has been one of the most anticipated and controversial yet. The backlash began weeks agoĀ when it was announcedĀ Tesla CEO Elon Musk would host the May 8 episode. Many fans expressed outrage over the billionaireās involvement, as he has been widely slammed for his seemingly dismissive comments about the coronavirus pandemic. Even Cyrus was dragged into the drama earlier this weekĀ after she had a brief, playful exchange with Musk on Twitter.
Many fans immediately called on Cyrus to delete her response to Musk, while others defended the singer by saying she was simply promoting the episode in a light-hearted manner.
