Cyrus took a few minutes during the second of her sold-out comeback concerts to address critiques that had surfaced following Friday's show.

The 33-year-old played her first major concert in four years Friday night for the first of two shows at the iconic L.A. venue.

The singer told the crowd that one of the things that inspired her to play the venue was the memory of the only time she was able to sit and enjoy a Parton show at the Hollywood Bowl.
