Miley Cyrus [1] is the queen of emotional live performances [2], and her time on stage at the 2019 MTV VMAs was no different. On Monday night, the 26-year-old singer performed her newly released single "Slide Away" [3] live for the first time ever, and it was every bit as poignant as expected.
The singer hit the stage in a black dress and sang the heart-wrenching song, which seemingly addresses her recent split from actor Liam Hemsworth [4]. Hemsworth and Cyrus dated on and off for 10 years before marrying in December 2018 [5]. However, in August, Hemsworth filed for divorce [6] after seven months of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Watch her powerful performance ahead.
