SNL Recap: When Miley Cyrus Broke Down In Tears During Performance - Miley Cyrus broke down as she performed on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.

The 22-year-old singer, who was the host and musical guest for the show's Season 41 premiere, made sure to bring along happy hippie ways to the set. The former "Hannah Montana" star made an appearance in a few skits, including one about what it might be like to marry her.

She also performed two songs from her trippy new album, "Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz." First song was "Karen Don't Be Sad," which she crooned with a little help from a few members of the Flaming Lips, all of whom were donning the animal onesies.

Second, Cyrus sung "The Twinkle Song." She was complemented only by her gloriously embellished piano and a few photos of her actual dead pets. As she sang, Cyrus got emotional and tears began trickling down her face.
