"Wrecking Ball" singer Miley Cyrus has officially been banned from the Dominican Republic because her acts have violated the country's moral standards.

Cyrus was supposed to take the Dominican Republic stage on September 13 as part of her "Bangerz" tour but the show will no longer push through following the country's decision, according to the NY Daily News.

The commission has released an official statement on Thursday confirming the news and stressed that the 21-year-old's antics often "undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law."

Tickets for Cyrus' concert have been on sale since July and each one costs between $27 to $370, ABC News reported.

As of late, Cyrus and her representatives have not yet commented regarding the issue. Concert organizers in the Dominican Republic did not respond to requests for comment as well, the same publication noted.

In the past, the commission has also banned select songs that they consider are vulgar, FOX News noted.

Cyrus, who is well-known for her vulgar antics, including her infamous twerking, will perform at this year's MTV video music awards.

The young singer drew headlines at last year's event after she twerked in front of the then married singer Robin Thicke, during their performance of the latter's song, "Blurred Lines," according to BBC.

The "We Can't Stop" singer has also been posting a series of equally vulgar posts via Instagram.

Cyrus has also posed with her tongue out in a series of photos on Instagram. Last week, Cyrus posed with her "Bangerz" tour backup dancers and was featured with her infamous tongue.

She wrote, "Last Bangerz us show mo fackas #southamericaherewecome."

In another photo, Cyrus was photographed tongue-locking with openly gay supermodel Cara Delevingne. She wrote, "happy bday to my mushymush @caradelevingne."
