Miley Cyrus concert chronology

The Bangerz Tour is the fourth concert tour by American recording artist Miley Cyrus. Launched in support of her fourth studio album, Bangerz (2013), the tour began in Vancouver at the Rogers Arena on February 14, 2014. The tour has been described as "raunchy".[1] It has received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised Cyrus' stage presence, vocals, wardrobe, and self-mockery.

Background and development

"Literally my whole life is revolving around this tour right now. Diane Martel..... and I, we're putting together this tour that's going to be insane..... The minute you step into my arena, the whole thing feels like you're a part of this crazy different world and you step in to a show the minute you walk in the door, rather than it being a show when I come onstage."

— Cyrus describing the preparation and concept for the Bangerz Tour.[2]

In 2012, Cyrus announced plans to focus on her film career, effectively putting her musical endeavors on hiatus. That year, she appeared in the films LOL and So Undercover. She was also confirmed as a primary voice actress in the feature film Hotel Transylvania, but dropped out of the project to coordinate a musical comeback.[3] In January 2013, Cyrus ended her recording contract with Hollywood Records, under which she released the albums Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus (2007), Breakout (2008), Can't Be Tamed (2010), and EP The Time of Our Lives (2009). Later that month, she signed a recording contract with RCA Records.[4] In March, she confirmed that her fourth studio album would be released by the end of 2013.[5]

The final product, Bangerz, was released on October 4, 2013.[6] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 61, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 21 reviews.[7] It debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, having moved 270,000 units,[8] and charted strongly in several countries worldwide.[9] During her appearance on Today on October 7, Cyrus first mentioned her intentions to tour in 2014.[10] On October 26, she made a surprise appearance on another episode of Saturday Night Live to officially announce the Bangerz Tour.[11] Claire Atkinson from the New York Post reported that concert promoters Live Nation Entertainment and AEG Live engaged in much competition to promote the tour, with the former ultimately being selected to represent the North American leg after agreeing to pay Cyrus $500,000 per presentation.[12]

On November 11, a series of three promotional videos were released to YouTube to promote the Bangerz Tour.[13] Cyrus originally announced that The Blonds and Kenzo were enlisted as costume designers in December,[14] although Roberto Cavalli was later confirmed for the position after six sketches of costume designs were released in January 2014.[15] Cyrus began rehearsals later that month,[16] at which time John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, was enlisted[17] to create artwork and animation for the tour.[18]

Concert synopsis

Cyrus performing in February 2014

During the first performance in Vancouver on February 14, 2014, the Bangerz Tour commenced with pre-recorded black-and-white footage of a partially dressed Cyrus making several poses while wearing sexual bondage, with the track "Fitzpleasure" by Alt-J playing in the background.[19] The footage concluded with a close-up of her face; Cyrus entered the stage from a slide that appeared where her tongue would be located. She was dressed in a provocative red leotard. The show began with "SMS (Bangerz)", joined by "the cast of furry friends and cartoon characters dancing merrily on stage" alongside her, followed by "4x4". Following a brief costume change to a green marijuana-inspired outfit, she re-appeared singing "Love Money Party"; she rode on a golden sport utility vehicle (SUV), before a puppet of the track's featured artist Big Sean was unveiled to rap his verse. Cyrus later jumped off of the SUV as it was driving down the stage and threw money into the audience.[20]

Cyrus performing "Someone Else"

Afterwards "My Darlin'" and "Maybe You're Right" were performed. Cyrus returned to the stage in a red leather outfit to perform "FU" and a country version of "Do My Thang" and "Get It Right" while pictures of candy representing female genitalia were projected onto the screen. Cyrus later appeared in a black and white feathered outfit to perform "Can't Be Tamed", while accompanied by a large dog. While performing "Adore You", Cyrus encourage audience members to "make-out" if they appeared on the kiss cam used during that segment. Topless images were projected as she delivered "Drive", and later segued into performances of "Rooting for My Baby" country music cover versions of "Hey Ya!" by Outkast and "Jolene" by Dolly Parton. The show continued with the track "23" by Mike Will Made It (in which Cyrus was a featured artist), followed by "On My Own" where she danced with dancers dressed as animals, and "Someone Else" where she rode a giant Hot Dog. She finished the show with her single "We Can't Stop" in a white outfit with dancers in foam fingers outfits, inspired on her VMA performance and "Wrecking Ball" from Bangerz. For the encore she came back on stage on a blue-red outfit wearing a wig and a cowboy hat for and American inspired performance of "Party in the U.S.A.".

Critical reception

Cyrus performing "Do My Thang"

After Cyrus' premiere performance, the Bangerz Tour received generally favorable reviews from critics. Victoria Pavlova from Contact Music spoke favorably of Cyrus' stage presence and wardrobe, and stated that her entrance was "enough to recommend the show right there."[21] Mike Wass from Idolator described the performance as being "weird and wonderful" and jokingly called it the musical version of the film Spring Breakers (2012). He appreciated that she "[owned] all her headline-grabbing antics from 2013 (the twerking, that foam finger and those skimpy outfits)" and mainly performed tracks from Bangerz, although he was more critical of her vocal delivery during the slower tracks and the inclusion of "filler" songs, which he felt "[didn't] quite cut it."[20] Writing for Rolling Stone, Denise Sheppard noted that "the fact that there really wasn't anything jaw-droppingly shocking about the entire night" was the most unexpected component of the concert, and felt that Cyrus achieved her goal of being viewed as a legitimate singer instead of primarily receiving attention for her controversial behavior. She also opined that "her taste in other people's music is quite impressive", commending the uses of "Fitzpleasure", "Jolene", and "Hey Ya!".[19]

Shawn Conner from USA Today wrote that Cyrus' performance proved that "the time has come to move the conversation [...] beyond the notorious move she pulled on Robin Thicke at last year's MTV Video Music Awards"; he spoke favorably of the on-screen visuals seen alongside Cyrus and appreciated that she did not lip sync along pre-recorded tracks. Conner also opined that "Cyrus has the charisma and maybe the smarts to be the post-Madonna Madonna", and added that she appeared to be "approachable, on- and off-stage, in a way that Madonna never did."[22] However, in a more mixed review, Francois Marchand from The Vancouver Sun provided a more negative review; he suggested that Cyrus was "a pop artist in a shiny, attention-grabbing wrapper", and that the performance was neither "the evolution of pop, female empowerment, [or] mindless fun", but rather "capitalism at work".[23] Sam Lansky writing for TIME magazine praised the singer's performance in Brooklyn calling her one of the "most dynamic performers of her generation."[24] Adam Graham from The Detroit News gave a positive review of the performance in Auburn, writing the show "is like a blast of confetti to the face, a dizzying, non-stop party that leaves you reeling and questioning what you just saw."[25]
