Miley Cyrus releases free new album after trippy VMA performance

Miley Cyrus closed out her 2015 VMAs hosting gig by delivering a trippy live performance of her new song "Dooo It!," followed by an announcement that her new album was available online for free.

Cyrus began her performance alone on stage, singing about how she smokes pot and loves peace. But soon the host, wearing a multi-colored outfit with eyes on it, was joined by a stage full of dancers and, later, frequent collaborators The Flaming Lips, who co-wrote many of the songs on Cyrus' new album, including "Dooo It!"

Cyrus repeatedly put a pipe, carried by the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, between her legs and shot out smoke into the crowd as she and her dancers chanted "Peace, mother f-;ers."

At the end of the performance, as confetti and metallic balloons rained down from the ceiling, Cyrus announced that her new album, Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, was available for free download at http://mileycyrusandherdeadpetz.com.
