May we all go into 2022 with the same poise, quick-wit, & "eh, shit happens" attitude as Miley Cyrus after that wardrobe malfunction. That ABSOLUTE CHAMP caught her top, sashayed offstage, came back on asap to finish her set—AND *owned* it all with a couple of jokes. What a pro!" wrote another user.
