Miley Cyrus has responded to criticism of her comeback Hollywood Bowl show on Friday night, telling the audience at Sunday’s concert that she almost didn’t come on stage.

“I’ve never heard that I don’t put my heart into something,” Cyrus said in fan-captured video from the show. “I don’t know if any of you heard that somebody was doing commentary to get clickbait on their video talking about my show on Friday night, but I’m a lot of things and we’re not even going to entertain that.”
