JAN 28, 2014 // Miley Cyrus Mashes Up 'Unplugged' With Madonna

Yeehaw! Miley Cyrus wanted only one icon to grace her stage during "MTV Unplugged." So when Madonna agreed to accompany Miley, no one was more shocked than the 21-year-old pop princess.

"I wanted to have someone here that wasn't the obvious and something that was different than just being on my record, something that people wouldn't really expect," she told MTV News about teaming up with the legendary pop star. "And even I didn't expect Madonna to be necessarily down to do something like 'Unplugged' with me. So the fact that she's here, kind of doing this hoedown thing with me now, is unbelievable. I'm so stoked."

Miley then broke down how Madonna influenced her own performing style.

"I grew up listening to Madonna and a lot of what she represented for me is what I try to rep to girls now, is not being afraid of sexuality and really being who you want to be and doing what you want to do," she said.

Madge and Miley, both donning sequined cowgirl gear, performed a mash-up of Madonna's 2000 hit "Don't Tell Me" and Miley's 2013 smash "We Can't Stop."

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to the Cut about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...
