Miley Cyrus: 10 Most Shocking Moments

3. Pole Dancing At The Teen Choice Awards 2009

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggr_fl0GwNA In 2009, aged 16 she said goodbye to her wholesome image and Miley toughened up and sexed up her styling with some black leather and tiny hotpants, during her performance at the Teen Choice Awards. And there was nothing innocent about her dance routine, she looked older than her years as she swung around a pole and gyrated on a raised platform. Her new look was obviously an attempt to target older audiences and widen her popularity. It seems this was the start of her shredding her good-girl teen image around the time of the release of her first film outside of the Hannah Montana franchise, The Last Song. The performance sparked criticism, with some saying that it sent the wrong message to her tween-age fans, however this marked the start of the next chapter of her career. Nowadays fans expect pole dancing!
