"Miley, I have been a fan of yours from the beginning," Peterson wrote in the message posted under his YouTube video uploaded Jan. 31. "You've changed my life, and I want to repay you by giving you the best night of your life. In order to do that, allow me to take you to my Prom on May 3, 2014."

The 17-year-old fan, wearing a black "Team Miley" shirt in the clip, later stripped down naked carrying only a foam finger and a bouquet of roses to invite the pop sensation to prom. "I promise you, we will have a great time," he said in the video. "And after our first encounter, I won't cry on your dress. I hope you will tell me yes when I'm sitting with roses in the 6th row at your BANGERZ tour in Phoenix on Febuary 27th!"

Peterson's crying reference was a nod to their first meeting at a radio show back in 2009. The youngster was taped breaking down into tears after meeting the Disney star. The two met again when Cyrus stopped a concert six months later in Arizona simply to say hello to him from onstage.
