Cyrus, dressed in a black vest, trousers and a pair of lace-up vinyl boots, played versions of several vintage hits, including Queen’s “We Will Rock You” and “Don’t Stop Me Now,” Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” and Blondie’s “Heart of Glass.”She also took on some of her own hits, such as “Wrecking Ball.”
“⭐️ A STAR IS BORN ⭐️,” the Hannah Montana alum captioned a video on Instagram that featured her walking out onto the stage.
