Cyrus, 26, wore a silver jacket with no bra during her performance of Nothing Breaks Like A Heart with Mark Ronson on the US comedy show and viewers were flabbergasted.

I have never trusted anything in my life as much as @MileyCyrus is trusting that double-sided tape. #SNL

Listening to two men in their mid sixties at a coffee shop talk about @MileyCyrus's performance last night on SNL. They're both big fans and one of them is explaining to the other how double sided fashion tape works.

Cyrus and Ronson also performed a touching rendition of Happy Xmas (War is Over) with John Lennon and Yoko Ono's son, Sean Ono Lennon.

The singer, who is dating Liam Hemsworth, also put a lot of faith in double-sided tape for her second outfit of the night.
