Miley Cyrus masterfully navigated one wardrobe malfunction, only to later accidentally reveal her right nipple, during NBC‘s New Year’s Eve special on Friday just after midnight.
During Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party Hosted by Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson, Cyrus was delivering her second performance of the year 2022, “Party in the USA,” when during a fireworks interlude her slight, shimmery top apparently lost its straps.
When the camera was back on her, Cyrus attempted to carry on but realized she could not keep herself covered with the smidgen of fabric, so she turned around, let it fall, and then headed backstage for a wardrobe change.
The backup singers kept the song going, and Cyrus about a minute later returned wearing a large red blazer atop her shimmery skirt — with nothing underneath.
Rebounding from that (first) wardrobe malfunction, Cyrus quipped mid-lyric, “Everybody’s definitely looking at me now!” She then added that the oversized red blazer represented “the most clothes I’ve ever worn on-stage.”
Cyrus, though, was not out of the woods just yet.
At the song’s conclusion, as Saweetie (who had joined in for the final stanzas) motioned for Cyrus to leave the stage, Cyrus turned in a way that let her blazer flap open, revealing her right breast and nipple (starred-out in our screenshot below.)
NBC has no comment on the incident, while sources tell TVLine the production team found Cyrus to be a consummate professional who “kept the show going and didn’t miss a beat.”
Were you watching Cyrus’ closing performance on Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party Hosted by Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson, and feared such a thing would happen?
That was HOT!!!
Embarrassing is more like it. I expect the FCC to seriously fine NBC over it, as they did with the Janet Jackson episode. Ultimately, it’s the studios who end up paying for it. These performers think they can wear very little clothing and expect people not to chastise them for it. I actually think they have this all planned out because they crave the attention.
Let’s see if she gets shamed like Janet Jackson did.. Got to admit tho Miley played it very smooth..
Well when you wear nothing to begin with, lol.
Amen
By the time we see the tape-delayed broadcast on the West Coast, they’ll probably have put a censor bar over her entire body.
A nipple? Oh, no, whatever will we do? Won’t somebody think of the children?
Oh my!” Clutching my pearls here! 🙄
IKR? When is this puritan stuff going to end? Everything going on in the world and WOMAN HAS BREASTS is “controversy” automatically. Who cares.
I was watching when it happened and Miley was very open with what happened and did the best she could and still carry on. ,all the girls who were on the show and in the Audience were wearing very little or completely see thru clothes and I am a 64 year old straight woman didn’t have a problem with any of it
Classless trash. Glad I missed it.
Never stop living up to your name.
Awesome. best new comment of 2022
Agreed
Nailed it!
Projecting much? Go speak to the manager of the TV
Agreed anything for attention. Now we’ll hear about this forever.
Yep, “karen” if only you had1% of the talent
Oh My Stars!!!! A nipple AND a boob! 😱 What shall we ever do? Think of the children Miley! THE. 👏CHILDREN. 👏 MILEY! �� This behavior is tampering with the dork side.
Come Sunday y’all better be in church lined up for confession. 🙏
Four heavenly creatures with six wings and covered in eyes are going to descend upon the Earth.
Nations are going to fall. The Super Bowl half-time show will be canceled. We might have been forgiven for the boob but NOT THE NIPPLE! 😫

Focus on the more important things in life and remember to make the new year happy. ✌️
And remember You WILL die unavoidably, we all have our own battles, yes, but I do understand your point… and I am a single male in my 30s… but garbage culture at some point.. is this what we really want??
Remember you will “die”, you have never experienced it and probably don’t know what will happen afterwards , but go ahead let your evil heart rule what your hear and believe, but I believe there is one GOD who; shhhhh does have a Holy Vengence. We cannot fully understand being mere Creatures (I will not comment further to responses unless needed).
We all know- if we are honest enough with ourselves.

“The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.” – Christopher Hitchens

I will not submit. I will try to live life more intensely than the day before. What you do is your business. ✌️
Why are we talking about a nipple when all the other girls ass are out…really
I guess it’s because the people who get up in arms over these kinds of things don’t really like talking about the things that they are. 🤷
put real clothes on and you don’t have that problem
It sucks that this is newsworthy in the year 2022.
Remember, this is not a news outlet. It’s an entertainment outlet. It reports on what is happening in the entertainment industry, so you will seldom find hard or serious news here. Miley has a wardrobe malfunction on live TV, so tvline is an appropriate place for that to be reported. The story reports the facts without judgement in an unbiased way, which many “serious” news outlets have trouble doing.
Miley should have just said Happy New Year America’. Then the young tight girls in the audience should have bared their breast and yelled ‘Happy New Year Miley.’
Too bad Miley’s guests didn’t leave their masks on during the show despite the growing explosion of COVID cases. Who cares about a small wardrobe malfunctions in light of this. Disappointed she didn’t address the elephant in the room.
I saw it and I only saw what appeared more like her breast in profile. I didn’t see nipple or anything more than the outline of her boob. Either way, she handled it very well. I figured she must have had tape because that blazer stayed put amazingly well. She did a great job and I was happy to see very little twerking from her. She was still sexy, but I just never liked the twerking so it was nice to see she didn’t rely on that to be sexy.
NBC aka the new Porn channel…!! When I realized their NYE special was going to be nothing but raunchy and low class, I switched to CBS and never looked back. Totally disgusted with NBC!!!!
Ditto!
Robyn should now google “Where can I find Matlock reruns”?
We be likin’ our Miley like we likin’ our eggs…. over easy!
My husband was joking about a wardrobe malfunction all night with all the tiny outfits the ladies were wearing, then it happened… I said omg her top just broke. That’s when she headed backstage. She handled it like a pro with such poise.
Why is it ok for a man to be topless but not a woman? Will we ever get to a point where this happens and doesn’t matter? For instance, if a guy’s shirt fell off, things would just keep going.
Someones’ chest versus someones’ breast is not the same. Maybe, if you mentioned breast versus penis, then we can talk. If your pants fall down and your lower part is shown, then we would have a large or small problem, but for sure, we would have a problem.
Note: I don’t think that Janet Jackson should have been canceled because of “nipple-gate”. I also do not believe that Miley Cyrus should be canceled either.
Men have breasts too and nipples, I still am not seeing the difference here. If her vagina was exposed, I’d understand your reply.
Totally agree with you here, just I believe you meant her “vulva”as long it is not an ob/gyn show…😉
The OP makes a great point. What exactly is the difference?
For one thing, a woman’s genitalia are not in her chest.
.
I can see both Tim’s and Jan’s points here. I agree with Tim that it really shouldn’t be a big deal. This fixation on whether breasts are covered on not isn’t helpful to women, for example in the context of nursing. Sure, breasts are seen sexually, at least in Europe and the US (in parts of Africa, the whole idea is regarded as hilarious). With a little maturity, though, that can be kept in context, the way you do with anything else in life. For example, when I lived in Sweden, I read a newspaper column that summarized social practice in a neat way. The writer said that everybody understood that it was hot during the summer, and a woman wouldn’t feel like wearing a top, at least at the beach, so everybody just agreed that it wouldn’t mean anything if she didn’t. You just stopped noticing breasts. On the other hand, if you were out with someone and she unfastened a button on her blouse, that was different.
.
But I also think Jan is being realistic. Sure, women shouldn’t be made to feel on display all the time, like consumer objects, and breasts, in particular, shouldn’t be the object of such juvenile prurience. But you can’t claim that the world doesn’t work that way, and if you were a woman, you wouldn’t.
.
So I don’t think there’s any fundamental disagreement. Tim is saying that things shouldn’t be the way they are, and Jan’s taking that to mean that Tim doesn’t really get the way they are, so they’re probably talking past each other a little.
Miley, her backup singers, and the cameras were very professional. It was impressive how well it was all handled.
Almost as if they expected it to happen. Things that make you go “hmmmmmm.”
Nip slips are par for the course in pop culture. Ever since nipple-gate, censors have been extra sensitive. Whether planned or not, they’re prepared.
Bound to happen with skimpy outfits. No big deal. Janet Jackson was overly criticized while Justin Timberlake had no consequences from that episode which may have been a stunt. Miley is known for being underclothed at times though she has real talent.
The USA is so weird male nibbles all over everything, a female nibble shows the country goes 🤪
It’s 2022, stop being so…
LOL. America still can’t handle a nipple?
Apparently not. It really is pathetic. Half a second.
Miley wouldn’t be Miley if she cared much about a little over-exposure. If the show hadn’t been televised, she might have finished that first number topless.
This is 2022. The US censorship really is overbearing. So many people get offended about seeing a female breast it’s ridiculous. Everyone has them, so what is the big deal?
We can show dead bodies with blood everywhere, people getting shot, and crime scenes galore on all the television crime shows, but a female breast makes everyone here crazy. The European TV programs have bare breasts all the time. The newspaper has the page 6 women.
We are so stuck in our old Puritan ways, but showing blood everywhere is still good 👍.
I watched the show because it was finally something different and I was looking for a change. Good for NBC and I hope the show goes on next year. I hope they don’t put it on a delay next year or else we will be celebrating the new year 10 seconds late.
Happy New Year everyone.
Exhibitionist! Seems to happen everytime she has a large audience.
Honestly, the real scandal here is even the rich and famous can’t get high quality clothing cut the way they want… This was really an issue for the textile and fashion industry tbh :p
