It’s back to the future for Miley Cyrus. She’s got Twerk to Do!

Tonight she will take the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards for the first time since 2013 when she scandalously twerked with Robin Thicke.

That performance issued in the era of Miley’s “Wrecking Ball,” nude pictures, tongue sticking out, and so on. Miley went from G rated to X rated overnight and launched a new lascivious chapter of her career.

The twerking period ended her first run with Liam Hemsworth. But eventually Miley calmed down. She reunited with Hemsworth, married him, and now he’s divorcing her after eight months.

Miley will not be singing “Jolene” tonight. That chapter is over. She’ll perform her new single, “Slide Away,” about the end of the relatiosnhip with Hemsworth.

Will she Twerk, tongue hanging out? Will she be clothed? Well, this is pretty much the only reason I can think of to watch the VMAs.

Here’s a flashback to 2013:
