Miley Cyrus has spoken out to reveal that she doesn’t believe people realise how much energy she puts into her live shows.

Cyrus is currently in the middle of her Bangerz Tour which has suffered a lot of criticism from parents who are concerned about some of its graphic content.

Cyrus revealed that sometimes the criticism gets to her.

The singer tweeted: “I don't think people realize how much energy I put into my shows & how much their bad energy brings me down.”

Miley recently received support from Cher who commented on a photo of the singer wearing a leotard while performing on top of a car with Cher tweeting: “@MileyCyrus Love 2 see Chicks kicking Ass.”

Cyrus has been forced to vigorously defend herself from “outraged” parents who have threatened to petition to get her tour shut down with Cyrus telling her Twitter followers: “You can't say I didn't warn you. Now sit back relax & enjoy the show. #bangerztour.”
