Anyone that watched the MTV Video Music Awards last night, basically had the same reaction to Miley Cyrus' performance, 'Huh?' The singer performed her new hit single, 'Can't Stop', a song about partying and generally giving the middle finger to society.

Following the number, the 20-year old stripped down to a nude bikini for the remainder of the act where she was joined onstage by Robin Thicke. Together the duo sang his mega-hit 'Blurred Lines' As Cyrus provided backup vocals, she grinded up on him, used a foam finger for, um, gratification and anything else one would never expect to see from the former 'Hannah Montana' star.

Celebrities reacted in droves on Twitter:

James Van Der Beek: 'Things I learned watching the #VMAs2013: There's nothing you can do with a foam finger that you can't air on MTV.'

Yvette Nicole Brown: 'Miley, step away from the foam finger and put your tongue away...PLEASE. #VMAs I'm so confused. #OldFogeyTweet'

Nia Vardolos: 'Gotta go, Miley's at my door waving that giant finger and twerking my dog.'

Rapper B.O.B: 'when a black girl twerks, it's ratchet when a white girl does it, it's entertainment'

Jesse Tyler Ferguson: 'I just watched the #VMAs & I know I'm going to have nightmares about Miley Cyrus playing a tiny harp where her "red light area" is.'

Natalie Maines: 'referring to Robin Thicke's striped suit: Referees that wear their uniforms to the strip club are creepy.'

David Spade: 'Mileys getting out- twerked by pro dancers right now. #unfortch'

Most celebrities reacted in the same way:

Clark Gregg: 'Oh Miley...'

Actor Kevin McHale: 'So confused #VMAs2013'

Michael Strahan: 'That was uncomfortable, weird and hard to watch!'

Max Greenfield: ' Billy Ray SIGHrus'

Regardless of how everyone felt, it was certainly one of, if not, the most talked about performance of the night!
