It looks like viewers weren't interested in attending a free Miley Cyrus' concert on Sunday night!

The pop star's NBC special, titled Miley Cyrus: Bangerz Tour, kind of bombed in the ratings, bringing in just 2 million viewers and a paltry 0.7 ratings in the adults 18-40 demo. So just how poorly did the "Wrecking Ball" singer's special perform? Well, last week's episode of Last Comic Standing that aired in the same time slot garnered 3.4 million viewers and a 1.1 rating.

The two-hour special focused on Cyrus' concerts from the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona and MEO Arena in Lisbon.

Still, Cyrus was grateful for the fans who tuned in for the special, tweeting, "Shank u 4 watching the Bangerz tour NBC speshhhhhh! Seriously y'all."

And Cyrus was one of the two million viewers who did watch Bangerz Tour and she posted photos on Instagram from her viewing party, including shots of her brother, Braison, and some of her dogs. But the 21-year-old revealed she missed some of the special after she injured herself. 

She posted a photo of her injured hand with the caption, "cut my hand during the nbc special I missed some of it!"
