Miley Cyrus Appears to Tease New Music — and a Name Change?
The star has seemingly dropped the second half of her famous moniker.
Miley Cyrus, the pop sensation, may be preparing for a new musical endeavor, as suggested by a recent Instagram post. On August 31, the star shared a photo of herself, donning a fuzzy black jacket and a striking red-tinted filter. In a simple caption reading "MILEY," Cyrus hinted at forthcoming music. Notably, her social media handle has been updated to "@miley," eschewing her full name.
Billboard has contacted Cyrus' representatives for further details. The Grammy winner's last album, "Something Beautiful," released last year, peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Prior to that, she released "Endless Summer Vacation" in 2023, which featured the Billboard Hot 100-crowning hit "Flowers." Earlier last week, Cyrus hinted at her next phase with red-and-black billboards displaying the cryptic message, "coming soon."
However, her promotional campaign began a day or so after the death of her godmother, Dolly Parton, a celebrated country music icon. In response to Parton's passing at 80, Cyrus expressed her grief on Instagram, stating that she would "continue on and be strong." She added, "I have an angel by my side," referencing her late godmother.
