Miley Cyrus brought to tears while singing 'Malibu' at Billboard Music Awards

Popstar MIley Cyrus performed her new single 'Malibu' live on TV for the first time at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, USA. 

The former 'Hannah Montana' star was introduced to the stage by her dad Billy Ray Cyrus and sister Noah Cyrus, whose hit song 'Make Me (Cry)' is featured on the Coca-Cola Top 40 chart.

Dressed in a pair of white denim shorts, a cropped off the shoulder top, and boots, she looked very different to the nipple-pasties-wearing Miley we have gotten used to over the years. 

Miley started crying while performing the song, which is about her fiancé Liam Hemsworth. 

Nicki Minaj, who famously called out the 24-year-old at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, joined the audience in applauding after the performance. 

Despite her new makeover, Miley's sister Noah insists her sister is still the same person.

"I see new music, but I don't really see a Miley change. Miley is always going to be Miley to me and I don't see a new Miley [or] an old Miley. Some people do and I get really confused when people say that. I don't know. I just see her as my sister and the person I've loved since I was a baby," she told  E! News' Jason Kennedy on the red carpet. 

'Malibu' is the first single off Miley's upcoming album, which is set to be released later this year.
