Miley Cyrus pushed her creative envelope even further when reports claiming that she submitted a short bondage film ‘Tongue Tied’ to the NYC Porn Film Festival. The film directed by mixed media artist Quentin Jones features the songwriter in silk straps, blindfolds performing on the song “Fitzpleasure” by alt-J. The festival authorities, however, confirmed toBuzzfeed that the video is not a part of the competition, but an extended un-cut version will just be premièred at the festival on February 27. But this submission in the porn festival news, albeit wrong, made the two-minute YouTube video go viral on the Internet.
The video shows Cyrus at her Lady Gaga best. She dons huge eyelashes wrapped in silk straps, while performing sexually suggestive moves alongside her trademark tongue taking all the focus. After the news broke out, the video which was made as part of Bangerz tour, went viral on social media. The official short version video has attracted more than 17 lakh views, and is a heavy topic of discussion, grabbing headlines across international media.
The Wrecking Ball star issued a statement to Buzzfeed saying, “Miley was proud to make a film with acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Jones. Neither she nor Quentin are participating in this ‘festival’ in any way.”
Cyrus is known for her radical change from girl-next-door cowboy image, to the now bold videos we see. Her creative evolution was seen best with her latest music album, which saw the Hannah Montana star do a 360 degree image makeover.
