Miley Cyrus stepped up on stage to introduce Joan Jett to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Cleveland’s Public Hall Saturday night. In her induction speech, Cyrus about her sexual attraction to Jett, the time they got high on marijuana together and most importantly how Jett was an inspiration to her and to women aspiring to be in the music scene.

"I’m going to start off this induction with the first time I wanted to have sex with Joan Jett," the “Wrecking Ball” singer proclaimed, before launching into the story about the time they were in Jett’s hotel bathroom smoking pot before doing their show with Oprah in 2011, E! News reported. Cyrus went on to say that in that moment, she wanted to absorb everything Jett was telling her and that the 56-year-old singer was like “Superwoman” to her.

Cyrus then expressed high praises for the “I Hate Myself For Loving You” singer, saying that Jett was an inspiration to women opting for a career in music, being the first major female artist to start her own record label and one to have expanded her music over the decades. Cyrus also exclaimed that Jett was “not just as a woman, but just as a badass babe on the planet,” as quoted in her complete speech published by Rolling Stone.

The former “Hannah Montana” star proceeded to say that she has had no other person that had been an inspiration to her like Jett had, despite being exposed by her father to various artists while growing up. “She made the world evolve, her life and her success is proof that we can self-evolve. I want to thank you for fighting for our freedom, Joan and I love you so much,” Cyrus ended her speech, which caused a standing ovation from the audience and invoked a few tears from Jett.

When asked about her stand on Cyrus’ admission on wanting to have sex with her, Jett only laughed and said that when singing about life, love or death, one has to turn everyone on and to relate to both sexes. She added that it was great that Miley said those things and that the 22-year-old acts like a “rock and roller at heart,” Examiner stated.

Joan Jett, one of the most influential women in rock history, joined the prestigious music club alongside Lou Reed, Bill Withers, Green Day, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, who were all inducted in the Early Influence Category. The Beatles’ Ringo Starr on the other hand was given Hall's Award for Musical Excellence.
