Ashley O might not be a real person, but her song "On a Roll" is, without a doubt, a bona fide pop banger.

Miley Cyrus donned a purple wig as her onscreen fictitious pop star counterpart from Black Mirror Season 5, and performed said banger at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday.

The BBC released a snippet of the moment on Twitter, in which she performed the original song heard and seen throughout Black Mirror's "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too."

Although the crowd seemed somewhat indifferent to the surprising moment in the setlist, Miley stans were, of course, delighted by the performance.

Fans have had plenty of time to learn those words (and perhaps those dance moves) in their bedrooms, after Netflix released an official music video for Ashley O's "On a Roll" in June.

But the real question on Black Mirror fans minds should be: was it actually Miley Cyrus or Ashley O? Or was it... Ashley Eternal?
