Miley Cyrus delivered an emotional performance of her new song "Slide Away" at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday night.
While many were struck by the artist's incredible vocals during the heart-wrenching performance, some eagle-eyed fans noticed the artist's new ink.
Cyrus sported a new tattoo on her left bicep -- a lyric from the Pixies song "The Thing," reading, "My head was feeling scared, but my heart was feeling free."
