Cyrus begins her stage show by sliding down a giant inflatable tongue sticking out of a projected image of her face.
"Her team, including management, record label execs and the entire tour staff including the director, costume department and choreographers — have been called for an emergency meeting as arenas across the U.S. threaten to pull out of the show," a source told the website.

Some parents reportedly labeled Cyrus’ concert a ‘porn show.’
She broadcast a "parental advisory," warning explicit content, before going on to ride an oversized hotdog, simulate a sex act on a dancer dressed as Bill Clinton and wear a costume printed with cannabis leaves. Souvenirs from the experience include $40 gold-embellished rolling papers for the pot enthusiast.

At least one magazine lauds Cyrus’ singing chops: Rolling Stone’s review said the music was ‘front and center,’ though some parents disagree.
However, concert promoter Live Nation is disputing the claims of issues concerning ticket sales.
“There is no truth whatsoever to any stories or rumors of venues pulling out of the Bangerz Tour. Miley has created a tour that’s big, spectacular, entertaining and everything you would expect from Miley Cyrus," the statement, obtained by the Daily News, read.
"Reviews have been amazing and most important, fans are loving the show and having a great time."
Last month Cyrus previewed her stage show in a televised MTV “Unplugged” special, which the singer said was an opportunity to showcase her vocal talent.
While much of the “Bangerz” tour news involves what Cyrus has been doing on stage, several reviews — like one by Rolling Stone magazine — laud the pop star’s singing chops.
