Miley Cyrus releases deeply personal album Something Beautiful
The 'Flowers' hitmaker tackles love, loss and healing on her ninth studio album.
On the heartbreaking single, 'More to Lose', Miley sings: "I stay, when the ecstasy is far away. I pray, that it's coming round again. You say it, but I wish it wasn't true. I knew someday that one would have to choose, I just thought we had more to lose."
Miley recently performed the moving track in front of some of her exes. Although it was not clear which of her former partners were in the crowd, they include ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, Cody Simpson, Stella Maxwell, Nick Jonas, and Kaitlynn Carter.
'Something Beautiful' is a visual album with the accompanying film set to receive its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in June.
The album features 13 new songs, all of which are accompanied by visuals that have been described as a "one-of-a-kind pop opera".
After releasing the title track 'Something Beautiful', Miley teased that the album marked "another bold artistic evolution" in her career.
A statement on her Instagram account read at the time: "Miley's second song and video release 'Something Beautiful', the title track off of the forthcoming album explores her deep connection to fashion showcasing an original custom design by Casey Cadwallader for the House of Mugler in the visual.
"This era marks another bold artistic evolution for Miley, blending music and film into an immersive experience. 'Something Beautiful' is now available on all streaming platforms."
Meanwhile, Miley recently teased that she will follow up the record with an "extremely experimental" LP.
The 32-year-old singer gave fans at an event at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel a hint of what's to come.
She told the small crowd: "My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that.
"'Something Beautiful' is just the appetizer."
At the fan event, Miley performed some new tracks like 'Easy Lover', 'End of the World' and 'More To Lose', along with her 2023 hit 'Flowers'.
She even treated the audience to a bit of 'The Climb' from 2009's 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'.

‘Counter culture': Response to Noah Cyrus photos expose 2025 beauty standards
If you're looking for a direct indication of how fed-up women already are with the rise of 'skinny culture', look no further than the response to some photos of Noah Cyrus. The 25-year-old singer and younger sister of Miley Cyrus was seen exiting Lady Gaga's latest concert and women are flat-out relieved by the images. Cyrus was dressed in a skimpy outfit, wearing a bra as a top, hot pants, a leather jacket, and a beanie – of course, you've gotta stay warm! The outfit isn't what anyone cares about though because online women are rejoicing over the fact that she looked 'pleasantly plump' instead of scarify thin. One social media user amassed over 7 million views on X, by claiming that the Cyrus photos are a sign that there was a 'counter culture' emerging to offset the skinny culture being rammed down women's throats at the moment. Another observed it was nice to see the body positivity movement 'gaining momentum naturally,' and one woman replied that she 'hoped' this was a sign that body neutrality was back. 'She looks so good,' another praised. 'She's so hot,' one woman gushed. Another joked that she was 'ready' for body positivity to return because she likes cheese, and many other women echoed her sentiments of relief to see a celebrity looking voluptuous. It wasn't a perfect oasis of body positivity; there was body-shaming. Some trolls went as far as to claim Cyrus looked 'unhealthy' or 'gross', which really just further exposes how messed up our culture has become. Cyrus isn't even remotely plus-size, and health isn't dictated by weight, so it was a relief to see social media users flooding the post to gush about her laid-back look. The 25-year-old singer hit a cultural nerve, because she was wearing a revealing outfit that suggests she feels comfortable in her own skin, which is a body type we're seeing less of these days. Body diversity in Celebrity Land in 2025 is so scarce that a woman who wears a size 10 is a breath of fresh air. For a fleeting moment, body positivity and then body neutrality were in; we'd moved away from the toxic skinny culture of the 90s that was still going strong in 2012. The grim culture where expressing shock and awe over Lena Dunham's objectively thin, but not thin enough body by society's standards in Girls was considered not only normal but worth debate. We then entered into an era of far more self-love. We went as far as to surpass body positivity, which was all about celebrating your body at any size, to body neutrality, which was about realising that what you weigh or what you look like shouldn't carry any real weight, and the less you think about it, the better. Alongside this was the cultural rise of plus-size influencers, supermodels like Ashley Graham, and Lizzo becoming one of the biggest singers in the world while crooning about 'thick thighs saving lives', and the trickle-down impact meant that suddenly talking about diets in the office felt naff. Then just as quickly as the 'any body is a bikini body' movement appeared, it vanished and was replaced with rail-thin being the goal all over again. Problematic terms like 'skinny tok' were coined, which is a hashtag on TikTok, where women share ways to become as small as humanly possible. Even Lizzo lost weight and instead of preaching about self-love, she now fields questions on social media about how she did it. It's a weird time to be a woman because the body positivity movement taught us that we shouldn't talk about other women's bodies, but suddenly they're all shrinking. It feels bizarre to ignore, like you're ignoring the elephant in the room, or in this case, the rapidly disappearing movie star. On one hand, Noah Cyrus is just living her life and looking great, which shouldn't become a cultural moment, but things have gotten so grim that it is. Psychologist Carly Dober told that body standards and body image are, in general, always influenced by cultural factors, and the 'resurgence of skinny culture' hasn't been great for women. 'Some gains over the last decade with the body neutrality movement have taken a hit. I don't believe that skinny culture was ever eradicated,' she said. Ms Dober said that if only one type of body is in fashion, it can be 'disastrous for young girls' because it can impact their body image. 'We need to see diverse bodies because this is the reality of what we would see if we were walking around, not only in Australia but across the globe,' she argued. 'There isn't one way that humans look, and genetics, environment, culture and personal preference all dictate how humans may look. 'If young girls only see super thin bodies, they will receive the message that this is the only acceptable way to look.'

Miley Cyrus poses completely nude on new mag cover
Don't miss out on the headlines from Magazines. Followed categories will be added to My News. Miley Cyrus has posed completely nude on the cover of an upcoming issue of Perfect magazine. The singer graces the front page of a 80-page special issue, out on August 11, with nothing but her tattooed hand strategically placed over one of her breasts, while her hair is positioned in front of the other. The 32-year-old stands in the photo which is cut off very low on her stomach, suggesting she wasn't wearing anything during the photo shoot. 'Even if I'm wearing nothing, there still feels like a level of power to it,' Cyrus is quoted as saying in the accompanying interview. MORE: 'Blessing': Miley's wild claim on deadly fires The Grammy winner poses for two other covers for the magazine, shot by photographers Paolo Roversi and Lynette Garland. In the second cover, Cyrus is fully clothed in a Marie Antoinette-style gown paired with low-top Converse sneakers. 'I feel like right now I'm in that kind of God pocket: everything is just flowing and there's a real harmonious relationship between me and what I'm wearing,' she tells the magazine of the gown. 'It still feels like skin. I don't feel like it ever overpowers. I don't feel like it's wearing me.' And in the third cover, Cyrus rocks a corset by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren from their Spring/Summer 1982 Savage collection. The sizzling shot comes months after she opened up about her body hang-ups on Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast, revealing she developed insecurities after seeing memes about her infamous performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with Robin Thicke. To this day, the thought of swimwear haunts the star as it reminds her of the near-nude, two-piece ensemble she wore on stage at the time. Miley Cyrus says there is 'a level of power' to being nude.

Picture:'There was a couple that were about my body, and people were putting my head on very unattractive things,' she told Lewinsky on the podcast episode which aired in June. 'And I still see that when I put on a bathing suit to this day. I wear very – you would never think – very modest bathing suits.' 'I'm still so insecure about those memes about my body.' On a recent girls' trip with her sisters and friends, Cyrus revealed she opted for a tankini when 'everyone else had on a string bikini'. 'Except me – I was in shorts,' she confessed. 'I don't even know if people wear tankinis anymore. I was wearing a tank top,' Cyrus added, saying that her choice looked like 'what a grandma wears to the beach'.
