Miley Cyrus performed at the TikTok Tailgate Super Bowl pre-game live show in front of an audience of 7,500 vaccinated health care workers.

Miley told the audience, “This is my first show in about a year, and I could not imagine a better way than here in Tampa surrounded by all these healthcare heroes,. Our gratitude toward you is infinite.”

She was joined by onstage by Billy Idol to sing their duet “Night Crawling” and later Joan Jett.

At one point, Miley got emotional while singing “Wrecking Ball.” 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.”
