Say what you want about Miley Cyrus, but she certainly knows how to get the Internet talking. During the American Music Awards, the singer was joined on stage by a giant, virtual kitten which lip-synced along to her performance of "Wrecking Ball."
Cyrus — who wore a two piece outfit adorned with cat faces — sang as the e-kitten mouthed the words behind her. And when she got emotional, the cat did, too. The performance wrapped with the kitten winking and sticking out its tongue — a nod to Cyrus' signature tongue wag.
The performance was a strategic play on Cyrus' part because the Internet loves cats. It was only a matter of time before it started to trend on Twitter.
The move follows her controversial performances at the MTV Video Music Awards and Europe Music Awards.
Although the latest version is more family friendly, a virtual singing kitten is certainly a good way to once again make yourself the topic of conversation, swapping twerking for an adorable sidekick. An easy win for team Miley.
