I’ll give it to you straight: Noah Cyrus, the singer once known for selling her tears and introducing the world to rapper Lil Xan, performed nearly nude at the 2020 CMT Music Awards on Wednesday night in Nashville, TN and she looked bangin’. The littlest Cyrus, whose own solo music traverses genre lines between hushed alt-pop and country trap, was there to perform her feature on Jimmie Allen’s “This Is Us, ” the kind of contemporary R&B-meets-country-pop sound that has done my arch nemeses Dan + Shay so well on country radio. Anyway, in the official video for the song, Cyrus wears a completely transparent bodysuit. On stage at the CMT Awards, she wore a much more conservative take on the infamous fit: a sequined bikini secured inside a nude-colored bodysuit, complete with big gloves, big boots, big hair and a big bedazzled cowboy hat. Naturally, the look was divisive, but anyone who didn’t like it is wrong—she looks so good. It’s so fun!
