Teen sensation Miley Cyrus stepped on to the stage this weekend for the first time since her controversial Vanity Fair portrait was revealed.

The Hannah Montana star has kept a low profile since sparking outrage this week for the provocative photoshoot - even pulling out of a public appearance at

a Disney Channel Games media party in Orlando, Florida on Friday.

But the 15-year-old seemed to be in good spirits as she made her return to the spotlight at a Saturday concert for the Disney Channel.

She kicked off her performance with her hit song See You Again and even debuted two new songs, Fly on the Wall and Breakout, off her forthcoming album, expected for release in July.

After performing her set, Cyrus told the crowd, "I hope you had an awesome time. I saw a sign back there that said, 'Miley, I'm praying for you.' I could not be more appreciative."

"Thank you guys for all your support. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love every one of you and I could not be more appreciative. God bless you."
