"Though her MTV European Music Awards (EMAs) performances were tame in comparison to her controversial VMA twerk-a-thon back in August,&amp;#xA0;Miley Cyrus&amp;#xA0;still managed to be the most talked-about artist on the Amsterdam stage.&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe 20-year-old former Disney star took to the stage to accept the award for Best Video for her hit &amp;quot;Wrecking Ball&amp;quot; (directed by Terry Richardson), and on her way to the microphone, she lit a joint onstage.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nMarijuana is legal in Amsterdam, and Cyrus seems intent on taking advantage of that fact. Before the show began, fellow chart-topper&amp;#xA0;Katy Perry&amp;#xA0;tweeted, &amp;quot;For tonight&amp;apos;s performance of UNCONDITIONALLY on ?@mtvema? I will be letting the LIGHT in &amp;amp; then making you SHINE! ?#dontneedtobehighforthis?.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nCyrus replied, &amp;quot;@katyperry @mtvema but you may want to be,&amp;quot; to which Perry responded, &amp;quot;@MileyCyrus #afterparty.&amp;quot;\r\nSources tell Us that Cyrus was smoking backstage throughout the night. A show source tells Us, &amp;quot;No one was expecting it to happen. It was so brazen, so shameless. It was so uncalled for.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe controversial singer performed twice during the EMAs, opening the show with an outer space-themed rendition of her smash hit &amp;quot;We Can&amp;apos;t Stop,&amp;quot; and gave a raw performance of &amp;quot;Wrecking Ball&amp;quot; in front of a giant screen of her own face crying.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
