Miley Cyrus Is As Damp As She Is Dramatic in Her 2019 VMAs Performance of Slide Away

The only thing more powerful than Miley Cyrus’s vocals on her 2019 MTV VMAs version of “Slide Away” is whatever skin-safe petroleum jelly was used to completely coat the singer. At Monday night’s show, Miley staged a dramatic black-and-white tableau in front of an orchestra, making for a very ’90s, very Calvin Klein, very moist performance of her new single. Just to be clear: We’re teasing. Plus, if she wants to slide away back to the ocean like she suggests, Miley honestly just needs to make a running start and she’ll be halfway to the Jersey Shore from the Newark Prudential Center in minutes.
