Miley Cyrus 'Bangerz' Tour Banned By Dominican Republic

Miley Cyrus’ September concert in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has been cancelled by a commission of the government that deemed her Bangerz tour morally unacceptable.

According to a statement issued by a government commission in charge of public performances, Cyrus “undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law” throughout her show.

Cyrus, who just wrapped up the U.S. leg of her tour, has not responded to the concert ban. While Cyrus has been criticized for her provocative, sex-filled show before, she maintains that her show is not as provocative or x-rated as people might think. In fact, Cyrus sees her show as an empowering manifestation of female sexuality.

“A lot of girls come in, they’re dressed like me, and by the end of it they’re going wild and I feel like I’ve unleashed them a little bit and it’s really empowering…The sexual aspect of our show isn’t targeted at men. It’s not driven by what men think is sexy. It’s what women think is sexy and cool and strong,” Cyrus said in an interview with TimeOut.

While Cyrus may be forced to cancel her stop in the Dominican Republic, she recently announced that her Bangerz tour would be going to New Zealand in October.
