Miley Cyrus loses bra on stage - and reacts great

That was a bit too revealing even for Miley Cyrus. At a New Year's Eve party broadcast live on television, the pop star caused a stir with a broken dress - but ultimately saved the performance with skill and humor.

Around midnight, Cyrus was performing her hit "Party in the USA" on the fireworks-filled stage in Miami when her glitter top tore. A video recording shows the singer holding her already tight top over her chest with one hand to prevent it from falling.

The star reacted confidently to the faux pas: undeterred, the 29-year-old continued to sing while she turned around and danced briefly behind the stage to put something on. Shortly thereafter she reappeared with a bright red blazer over her bare chest and finished the song.

I've never worn so many clothes

She even had time to joke between the lines of text. "Now everyone's REALLY looking at me," she repeated a related lyric. She has never worn so much clothing on stage.

The performance was part of Miley's New Year's Eve Party and was broadcast live by US broadcaster NBC. Co-hosted by comedian and Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. Other stars such as Gren Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong or singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile were also part of the party.

In the end, Miley Cyrus' closing remarks to the audience fitted both the dress mishap and the overall message of the event. The show was about being flexible and making the best of even the worst of circumstances, Cyrus said. "Let's take that into the new year. We've all learned to expect the unexpected."
