With a cleaner act, it’s led us to wonder what other side of Miley we have yet to see. Each new Miley Cyrus headline has seemingly been stranger than the last, and just when the world thinks, Ms. Cyrus couldn’t possibly shock anyone again, she does.

- Consuming Fan’s Underwear
During her February 16th tour performance, a fan threw their thong up on stage, while Miley was singing. Instead of kicking it off stage or leaving it there, like any other person probably would have done. Miley did the inconceivable. She picked them up and put them in her mouth – Gross! It looks like Katy Perry got her answer on where Miley’s tongue has been

- First controversy at the age of 15
Her first jaw-dropping moment wasn’t actually at the 2013 VMAs like everybody thinks, but was actually all the way back in 2008.

In this case, her shocking ways paid off, and the video and song both did wonders for her career
