American Music Awards 2010: Miley Cyrus sings 'Forgiveness and Love' to mom, Tish, at AMAs

Whether or not her mom had an affair with Bret Michaels, Miley Cyrus appears to have forgiven her.

At the 2010 American Music Awards Sunday night, the 17-year-old pop star sang "Forgiveness and Love" from her latest album, "Can't Be Tamed," as her mother, Tish, sat in the audience.

Cyrus opted out of her traditional racy attire in favor of a long black lace dress that reflected the hippies-style sentiment of the track. The flickering candles lining the stage gave it the impression of a church.

"The only thing real when push comes to shove are the acts of forgiveness and love," Miley sang as Tish watched rather sheepishly from the audience and lightly clapped. 

According to TMZ.com, Cyrus was initially meant to perform Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," Bret Michaels' hit that she covered for "Can't Be Tamed."

A source close to the "Hannah Montana" star told the gossip website she dropped the song after reports emerged that her mother and father had split over Tish's alleged affair with Michaels.

The romance reportedly bloomed earlier this year after Miley recorded "Nothing to Lose" with Michaels in February in an infamously age inappropriate duet.

Bill Ray and Tish Cyrus filed for divorce on Oct. 27 after 17 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
