Watch: Miley Cyrus Blurs Gender in Maya and Marty Performance

A premiere just isn't a premiere without a gender-bending musical performance by the one and only Miley Cyrus. 

NBC premiered the variety show Maya and Marty on Tuesday, starring Saturday Night Live veterans Maya Rudolph and Martin Short. And a premiere just isn't a premiere without a gender-bending musical performance by the one and only Miley Cyrus.

Last year, Cyrus sat down with us and talked about her struggle with gender identity.

"I didn't want to be a boy. I kind of wanted to be nothing," she said. "I don't relate to what people would say defines a girl or a boy, and I think that's what I had to understand: Being a girl isn't what I hate, it's the box that I get put into."

Cyrus continued her quest to break down the gender binary this week. She sang Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" in a suit and tophat, followed by Peggy Lee's "I'm a Woman," in which she ripped her pants off to reveal a chic black leotard.

The performance was beautiful, intriguing, and made a not-so-subtle statement about what it means to be male or female today in America. Check it out below.

Maya and Marty airs on NBC Tuesdays at 10PM EST.
