Miley Cyrus' twerking performance at the 2013 MTV VMAs (Video Music Awards) may have found entry into Oxford dictionary but the act cost her her engagement with Australian actor, Liam Hemsworth.

The Hunger Games star revealed that he was "embarrassed" and "shocked" by Miley's crotch-grabbing twerking moves onstage at the VMA.

The Wrecking Ball singer revealed in an interview how she was coping with her split from Hemsworth.

"I need to treat my music like a relationship – give it my time and all the attention it deserves – and that's my main love right now. This is the best time of my life. I'm not going to look back on it and be like, 'I wish I hadn't been dwelling over a breakup,' you know? Because that's not what God wants my life to be about right now. God wants my life to be about being successful and being happy and blessing other people and being blessed," the 21-year-old Cyrus said.
