Miley Cyrus -- Crying in Vegas During First Post-Liam Performance


Miley Cyrus broke down crying in Vegas yesterday ... while she performed a song rumored to be about her break up with Liam Hemsworth.


Miley twerked it up on stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival -- but the tears started flowing hard once she began singing "Wrecking Ball."


As we previously reported -- the couple has called it quits ... and Liam has gotten tight with telenovela actress Eiza Gonzales -- who BTW is crazy hot.


Despite the cry-fest ... Miley cleaned up for her second performance of the night.


And wore this.
