The entire handing down of the torch by Madonna to a younger version has been done before. When Madonna and Britney Spears first performed together, everyone thought that Madonna had officially chosen her successor.

Now it looks that Madonna is ready to actually pass on the baton to singer Miley Cyrus. The two singers have done joined performance for MTV's “Unplugged” which had an entire cowboy theme to it.

In all fairness, Miley is a much better suited candidate as a Madonna replacement. She's equally controversial and certainly knows how to grab headlines, much like Madonna used to do in her golden years.

The concert was recorded yesterday evening, and Madonna offered a sneak peak from the performance when she posted a photo of her and Miley on her Instagram. The photo showed the two of them dressed as cowgirls, sharing an embrace.

The photo was captioned “Don't ever Tell us We Can't Stop! #revolutionoflove.” The performance itself included hit songs such as “We Can't Stop” and Madonna's “Don't Tell Me.”

Speaking of the “Unplugged” show, MTV reports that there was also a full strings section present, a Hammond Organ and even a two-man twerking horse, a reference to Miley's signature moves.

The 21-year-old was in awe of singing on the same stage with Madonna as she told audiences when she pop icon was leaving the stage: “That was [expletive] cool, you guys. It sounds super-lame, but as a pop star it's pretty cool performing with Madonna... Today was one of those days that it was pretty easy to get out of bed.”

Though she was in high spirits over her performance, Miley wasn't feeling the love during this year's Grammy Awards, when she suffered a major snub. While everyone in the music industry was present at the event, Miley posted a photo of herself in her pajamas playing Guitar Hero at home.
