Madonna and Miley Cyrus did their best cowgirl impressions during their performance together.

They couldn't contain their excitement ahead of the recording of Miley Cyrus: MTV Unplugged at Sunset Gower Studios.

Miley Cyrus: MTV Unplugged

1/10

Kitted out with the obligatory hats and copious amounts of bling, the pair appeared to have lots of fun as they sauntered across the stage.

Afterwards, Miley said: "That was pretty f***ing cool you guys. It was one of those days that was pretty easy to get out of bed. I get to perform with Madonna in bedazzled cowboy boots. I can't really complain about anything."

Earlier in the evening, the 21-year-old star joked MTV had been "brave" in giving her the show, which saw her backed by a full band including string section.

She said: "I can't believe you let me of all people do an Unplugged. That was brave."

Miley also shared a number of jokes with her audience, at one point claiming she was headed to a strip club after the show.

She joked: "MTV's paying me today in ones so we can all go to the strip club after this."

Madge took tips from Miley and striked the Wrecking Ball singer's iconic 'tongue' pose during the duet.

The pop queen then posted a picture of the two, tweeting: 'Don't ever Tell us We Can't STOP! #revolutionoflove.'

But there is mutual appreciation.

Miley, 21, has compared herself to Madonna in the past and believes they share the same love of controversy and risk-taking.

She recently reflected: "Last night, I was talking about some Madonna performances, and I said, 'At some point, everything becomes irrelevant.' Like, no one even thinks about when she did 'Like a Virgin' at the VMAs.

"That just becomes a standard, where it's just like, 'Oh, that's her thing.' So, I feel like now that I did the VMAs, that just kind of became a standard for me, and then any time I do anything else, they're like, 'Miley kept it tame tonight.'"
