Controversial musician, Miley Cyrus has earned a reputation for always having her tongue outside her mouth.

The former Disney star has earned notoriety for this and her infamous raunchiness as displayed in her “Wrecking ball” video.

Miley might never offer an explanation for her various other stunts, but at least she has an explanation for why she repeatedly sticks out her tongue in photos.

The Daily Mirror reports:

Serial twerker and tongue wagger Miley Cyrus has finally revealed why her tongue spends most of its time on the wrong side of her mouth.

The Wrecking Ball singer admitted she sticks it out in pictures because she doesn’t “know how to smile” and it makes her feel “awkward” if she’s standing there grinning.

Miley, who’s been getting all grindy with Santa lately, said: “I get embarrassed to take pictures. That’s actually the truth.

“I’m so embarrassed, because people are taking pictures of me, and I just don’t know how to – I don’t know how to smile, and just be awkward, so I stick my tongue out, because I don’t know what else to do.”
