Leave it to Miley Cyrus to find a way to make that twerktastic, Robin Thicke–groin-gnashing V.M.A. performance seem relatively innocent.

On Tuesday, Cyrus’s “mentor” and frequent collaborator of late, Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne, announced that his band and Cyrus are planning a special event in honor of a track off of Cyrus’s fifth album, the experimental John Mayer–endorsed Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz—many songs of which Coyne produced.

“Oh fuck..!!! @mileycyrus is planning a show where her, the band (us) and the audience are all COMPLETELY naked with milk (well white stuff that looks like milk) is being being spewed everywhere . . . It’s a video ( in the works) for #mileycyrusandherdeadpetz song “The Milky Milky Milk.”

(Sample lyric: “The milky, milky, milk / Your lips get me so wet / While I’m singing all the verses from the Tibetan Book of the Dead.”)

Cyrus has not confirmed the naked concert, but she has announced that she will tour for the album alongside the Flaming Lips, with a show in Detroit planned for November 21. And, as you may have guessed sometime between seeing the former Disney star’s naked form straddling a wrecking ball in a music video and watching Cyrus arrive at this summer’s MTV V.M.A. Awards wearing, essentially, electrical tape and thigh-high go-go boots, the pop star is comfortable flaunting her body for art (or something). So the nude concert wouldn’t exactly be off-brand.

Cyrus has been collaborating often with the 54-year-old Flaming Lips front man recently—in the recording studio, onstage, in wacky videos—with The New York Times describing him as Cyrus’s “artistic enabler.” Cyrus explained her relationship with Coyne to the Times as such: “He’s everything in the world—you can’t even define us . . . I am 100 percent in love with Wayne, and Wayne is in love with me, but it’s nothing sexual in any way. That would be the grossest.”
