Miley is slated to perform on Saturday night, while controversial Tesla CEO Elon Musk hosts the long-running sketch comedy show.
And on Tuesday, Cyrus attempted to get her massive Instagram following pumped up for her upcoming SNL appearance by sharing a slew of sultry snaps on Tuesday.

Miley concluded the caption with: ‘☠️ see you soon dude’

Many had taken issue with the business mogul being tapped to host, with some pleading for Miley to do ‘double duty’ as host and performer instead, and things continued to brew this week on Twitter.
After a fan posted a photoshopped image of Musk riding a big steel ball as a nod to her Wrecking Ball music video, Cyrus and Musk exchanged words ahead of their collaborative debut.
‘Alright Elon just…hear me out,’ Twitter user @OwenSparks_ wrote as he teed up a possible idea for the SNL performance.
