Everyone From Kanye West to Donald Trump Loved It When Miley Twerked at the VMAs
CelebritiesDirt BagThe morning after the 2013 VMAs, it felt like everyone in the country was talking about Miley Cyrus’s performance. From the teens to their grandparents – everyone had something to say about it. Even Donald Trump.
In an interview with The New York Times, Cyrus says the 2016 presidential candidate took the time to personally compliment her work—as did Kanye West.
“I was in the studio with Kanye that night, and we watched it back and we didn’t say anything. He was like, ‘That was sick,’ whatever. We woke up the next day, and he was like, ‘Whoa.’ He called and said, ‘Turn on your TV,’” recalls Cyrus. “I was staying at the Trump Hotel and Donald Trump literally called and said, basically, ‘I know everyone’s talking about it, but I loved it.’ I had no idea anyone was talking about it yet.”
“Let me tell you something, Miss Cyrus,” Trump probably said. “I have a lot of respect for a woman who uses her tongue that liberally.”
