The 2013 Video Music Awards may have aired almost a month ago, but people still can't stop talking about Miley Cyrus's controversial performance of "We Can't Stop," which almost everyone knows involved numerous sexual innuendos and a whole lot of twerking. Cyrus's father Billy Ray appeared on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" to discuss the matter.

As E! reports, Morgan first brought up the twerking controversy when he said he wouldn't be happy if he caught his own daughter twerking. At first, Cyrus seemed to evade the question by saying that it's weird to see a young girl become a lady, and that the shock factor is different from the past. When he finally managed to address the controversy, he basically stated what many of us think: She's just being Miley!

"I'm her daddy," Cyrus said. "I come for that school of as a singer-songwriter, as a musician, that it starts with a song. And it's that magic moment when a song finds the right artist, the right singer, and it becomes a synchronicity of that moment in time."

"Miley harnessed into something very special," he continued. "She's just Miley. She's an artist, she's real. I think that's what's happened over the years, Miley has been reinventing her sound. She's evolving as an artist herself. I think that it's all of what everyone is calling controversy now. That's still my Miley." 

In regards to the VMA performance, Cyrus expalined, "Miley again, you know, I think she could've went out and sang the song in a flannel shirt and a pair of jeans, and it would have still been just as strong. Would we have been here talking about it? No way." 

The 20-year-old pop star's fourth studio album "Bangerz" is set to be released on Oct. 4. She recently appeared naked (again) on an alternative cover of the upcoming album.
