Four years after her explosive twerk-filled performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, Miley Cyrus returned to the very stage that she blew up her Disney image. However, her showing at Sunday night’s (August 27) cemented the official 2017 revamp of the pop star we know and love.

Dressed in a blue western-esque one-piece, Cyrus appeared smack dab in the middle of the stage by herself for the introduction to the set. Even in the opening moments, you could tell that the star was in a different place than her almost-NSFW days. Performing her latest single, "Younger Now," the starlet kept things short and simple, revealing a line of background dancers of all shapes, colors and ages. Things got a got a little feisty (and retro) for a line dance, but the star's crystal clear vocals remained the true highlight of the set.

Emotions were teased before the Sunday affair when PEOPLE described the performance as "a new and evolved Miley" during rehearsals. "Her new energy was so different on stage, and there’s a new side to her that people will be surprised to see. Everyone who saw her rehearsal got emotional and even some even got teary-eyed."  the source revealed."

"Younger Now" is Cyrus' latest single from her forthcoming LP of the same name, which drops on September 29. It precedes promotional single, "Inspired," and the collection’s lead track, "Malibu."
