Miley Cyrus to Go ‘Unplugged’ in MTV’s ‘Backyard Sessions’ Event

Miley Cyrus is returning to the Unplugged stage — but this time, from home.

MTV announced on Monday (Oct. 5) that the “Mother’s Daughter” star will perform in a special, reinvented edition of its beloved MTV Unplugged franchise, MTV Unplugged Presents “Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions.” 

She announced the news with a glamorous 15-second ad shared to Twitter.

From her Los Angeles backyard, Cyruswill perform a cover of “Gimme More” by Britney Spears, plus more covers of songs by Pearl Jam, The Cardigans and more. She’ll also deliver stripped-down and acoustic sets of hits, including her newest single “Midnight Sky.”

Cyrus previously hosted an MTV Unplugged session in 2014, following the release of her album Bangerz. 

MTV Unplugged Presents “Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions”  will air on Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. ET on MTV.
