Eagle-eyed fans noticed today, August 31, that Cyrus posted what appears to be cover art for her new musical era, her 10th studio album. In the caption, Cyrus wrote “MILEY” and dropped her last name from her social media username.

Cyrus’ last studio album, “Something Beautiful,” was released in May 2025 and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. It featured the singles “End of the World” and “Easy Lover.”

It came a little over two years after her 2023 release “Endless Summer Vacation,” which was a commercial success and included the international hit “Flowers.”

There’s No Release Date, But Miley Cyrus Previously Said She Was Working On Music

Cyrus hasn’t shared details about what appears to be her next album; however, she confirmed in a recent interview that she was working on new music.

“This album is a love story, but love stories are never one-dimensional. They’re always layered,” she said. “There is definitely a romantic thread weaving through it because, like all my records, it’s a reflection of where I am in my life. But this one feels especially meaningful because this feeling has stayed with me through multiple eras.”

“That’s something I hadn’t really experienced before,” she continued. “A peaceful kind of love has become a theme across my last three records. Not just the love I share with someone else, but the love I’ve found for myself.”

Miley Cyrus Is Engaged

The chances Cyrus sings about her partner, Maxx Morando, are high, considering the pair got engaged last year. She spoke about the special moment during an interview with “Good Morning America” and said she was totally surprised.

And while she’s been open about her personal life since she was a kid, she said she’s approaching this next chapter with care. “The detail that I can share is that for us, our privacy and us kind of keeping it small has been something that I’ve been astounded that I’ve actually been able to have and being able to kind of have more choice,” she said.

Miley Cyrus Gets Choked Up While Accepting Walk Of Fame Star

According to a previous report from The Blast, Cyrus was recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and during her speech, the “Jaded” singer got choked up as she reflected on her career, which began when she was a young girl.

“This is where it gets me,” she said. “To my family, my future family, parents, my mom, my siblings, my friends, my collaborators, thank you for loving and supporting not only the choices that I make, but my fears, and then facing them with me.”

Cyrus Celebrated 20 Years Of Her TV Show With A Disney+ Special

Before that, Cyrus celebrated 20 years of “Hannah Montana” with a moving special on Disney+. In the episode, Cyrus visited parts of the set and spoke with important figures, including her dad, Billy Ray, her mom, Tish Cyrus, and fellow Disney peer Selena Gomez.

Cyrus said in a statement that she was grateful to be able to look back on “Hannah Montana” all these years later. “What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection,” she said. “The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of. This ‘Hannahversary’ is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who’ve stood by me for 20 years.”

Why This ‘Hannah Montana’ Alum Chose Not To Be Part Of The Special

Two important cast members, Emily Osment and Mitchel Musso, were absent from the special, though. While Osment, who played Lilly in the sitcom, said she was busy filming another show during the 20th anniversary’s production, she thanked fans for supporting the show all these years later.

Musso, meanwhile, wasn’t as gracious when he spoke about it, per The Blast, revealing on a podcast that he turned down the chance to appear because it “wasn’t presented correctly.”

“It’s too long of a wait to do it in a way that isn’t even close to, in my opinion, correct,” he continued, adding that the “kid in me” wanted Disney to do an original episode of a miniseries and was disappointed it didn’t work out that way.
