The "Bangerz" pop star showcased her vocals at a tour stop in Tacoma, WA when the singer did a cover version of Outkast's 2003 hit single "Hey Ya." Sky Ferreira got off on the wrong foot Thursday night at Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" concert in Anaheim ... gushing blood as she performed. Ferreira tripped and fell during her first song, slicing open her shin. She says she had no idea she was injured during her entire performance.  The singer was loaded onto a stretcher and taken to the hospital ... where doctors sewed her up like a rag doll ... with 60 stitches.  @skyferreira I'm sorry I had to cancel the live @rollingstone chat! We had to reschedule due to my injury. Thank you for the nice words. See you guys tomorrow in LA #bangerztour |

Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz tour is coming to town, a rolling twerk-cus of sorts featuring all your favorite pre-packaged WTF moments—bondage-inspired outfits, furies, hot dog riding, licking, a Big Sean puppet—all rolled into one fun-filled night. But there may be a bit more to Bangerz that just recreating Cyrus’ infamous VMA performance on a nightly basis. Enter Icona Pop and Sky Ferreira, Cyrus’ (allegedly) hand-picked openers for the 60-date tour. Neither act is exactly an obvious choice (I’m guessing Carly Rae Jepsen was busy.) But both acts do work nicely into Cyrus’ grand ploy for respectability, having pulled in strong reviews for their records and the “serious listener” audience that usually follows that sort of thing. Ostensibly due to an injury sustained onstage in late February, Ferreira has dropped out of this leg of the tour. That’s too bad, as her debut album, Night Time, My Time, is very, very good—a worthy entry even among the crowded field of excellent synth pop acts from 2013 including Chvrches, Disclosure and Charli XCX. Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid (  Weekend, HAIM), it cuts the typical shiny, synth-pop sheen with scuzzier, more dissonant sounds pulled from the Suicide and Animal Collective playbook.  The Swedish duo Icona Pop (pictured above) will still be warming the stage for Bangerz. “Pop” is in their name, so they aren’t subtle about their affiliation to big, loud, shout-along hooks. Chances are you’ve heard at least one Icona Pop song, which, consequently, would put you on equal footing with most of the people who bought their debut album, This Is Icona Pop. That song, “I Love It” is certainly a fantastic track, as raucous and catchy as they come. The lyrics are ostensibly about anarchy, albeit the kind that cheerleaders can relate to: throwing someone’s clothes down the stairs, not caring, et al. Still, “I Love It” espouses the brand of provocative the Bangerz tour seems to be courting, one sufficiently sanitized for a teenage audience. The remainder of This Is Icona Pop is the stuff stadium tours were made of. While the Swedes may never headline a tour of that size themselves, acting as Cyrus’ pre-twerk warm-up does seem like an inspired pairing. |

We've always loved Icona Pop, but now it might be an obsession. Teen Vogue’s Andrew Bevan meets up with the incredibly cool duo in the West Village as they talk about their road to success. From working as struggling artists in Europe to becoming one of our favorite groups in the music scene today, these girls have seen it all.  We feel like super heroes in our dresses from @annesofiemadsenstudio such an honor to work with you and our lovely @william_graper <3 |
