Miley Cyrus Pranks Jimmy Kimmel With a Wrecking Ball

(ABC/Randy Holmes)

Miley Cyrus woke a sleeping Jimmy Kimmel by performing her popular song “Wrecking Ball” with flashing lights and a whole wrecking crew.

Cyrus, with the permission of Kimmel’s wife Molly, snuck into Kimmel’s bedroom to pull the prank. She brought fake rubble, a wrecking crew, someone dressed as wrecking ball, and a very real sledgehammer.

In fact, as Cyrus was singing her hit song (which, by the way, her vocals were on point), she accidentally swung the sledgehammer in a very unfortunate place for Kimmel. Cyrus kept it fun by replying, “It is called wrecking balls.”

This should be nothing new to Kimmel as Rihanna started the prank a few years back with confetti and money. Britney Spears made it a tradition by bringing shirtless male dancers. Kimmel joked on his show that he had become “victim of an unusual prank a few times now.” Cyrus kept the tradition alive, and we can only hope more pop stars will carry on the torch.
