Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and More Perform at NYC Jingle Ball

The former Disney star, who twerks and slaps her dancers' bottoms onstage, kicks off her set with 'Party in the U.S.A.' and continues it with newer hits like 'We Can't Stop' and 'Wrecking Ball'.

Some big names in music were lined up to perform at Z100's Jingle Ball 2013. Miley Cyrus was one of the artists who joined the annual bash which was recently held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Fellow former Disney star Lindsay Lohan hit the stage to introduce Cyrus. Wearing thigh-high leather boots, white T-shirt and a pair of shorts, the 27-year-old starlet said, "This past year, we've seen a whole new side of her, which I can relate to."

"She can be herself, which I really respect and appreciate. She wants to do what she wants to do and she does it and we love her for it," the "Mean Girls" actress added.

Cyrus then arrived on the stage and performed her hits, which included "Party in the U.S.A.", "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball". The singer, who twerked and slapped her dancers' bottoms in a santa-inspired red outfit, also covered Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness".

Earlier that night, Ariana Grande made a stunning appearance onstage. Looking like an angel in a sparkly white dress, Grande sang her hits "Right There", "Last Christmas" and "The Way". The Christmas concert also featured performances from other artists like Selena Gomez, Austin Mahone, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
