Miley – Why DOES she stick her tongue out all the time?

Love her or hate her, there are people all over the world who are wondering why it is that in every photo – no matter what the occasion, Miley Cyrus is sticking her tongue out.

Well. During an interview with Barbara Walters, who named Miley as one of her top ten most fascinating people of 2013, Miley let the cat out of the bag when she asked her why she is always sticking her tongue out.

To many people, Miley does it to get attention. Miley however, had a totally different explanation. According to her, she gets shy when the cameras start flashing, and instead of smiling, sticks her tongue out to cover up her embarrassment. These days, whenever cameras are pointing her way, she gets told to stick out her tongue, hence the countless pics of her with her tongue sticking out.

However, there are other reasons behind the tongue thing and the fact that Miley is practically naked in most of her shows, and it’s not simply to shock her audiences – well, mostly not. Instead, she says, it’s to make people the world over talk about her and her music. The girl definitely knows what she’s doing! Videos of her shows, most of which are bordering on porn, have smashed all records, and although not totally responsible, she is part of the reason why the word “twerk” has been added as an actual word in the English dictionary.
