Watch: Sky Ferreira performs, between Miley Cyrus dates, on ‘Kimmel’

The make-out session during “Adore You.” The dreamy cover of OutKast’s “Hey Ya!” And, of course, the pot-leaf leotard.

Miley Cyrus provided so much fodder for discussion at the Honda Center stop on her Bangerz tour last week that I didn’t have room in my review to address Cyrus’ two openers: Sky Ferreira and Icona Pop.

No great loss in the case of the latter. Though its performance of “I Love It” was characteristically exuberant, the Swedish duo made even less of an impact on the Honda’s gigantic stage than it did in December at the far cozier Fonda Theatre.

Ferreira, though, was something to see: a black-leather goth-punk belting out her serrated electro-pop songs from inside a cloud of machine-made fog.

The L.A. native, whose gig on the Bangerz tour follows last year’s release of the terrific “Night Time, My Time,” evidently threw herself into her Anaheim performance to such a degree that she ended up injuring her leg. On Instagram later she posted a picture of herself on a stretcher, being loaded into an ambulance (while still wearing her sunglasses, I might add).

But the injury wasn’t enough to stop Ferreira, who recovered sufficiently to rejoin Cyrus’ road show for concerts at Staples Center and in Oakland and San Jose. And Wednesday night she dropped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for a typically attitudinal rendition of her song “You’re Not the One.”

Watch her performance -- which she delivered with her right leg wrapped in a bandage -- below.
