Miley Cyrus Performs Live Debut of ‘More to Lose' on ‘Kimmel'
Miley Cyrus brought raw vulnerability to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday (May 22), performing her latest single 'More to Lose' in a striking, emotionally-charged moment on the late-night stage.
Wearing a dark hooded coat and surrounded by a live band and string ensemble, the Grammy winner delivered a stirring rendition of the song beneath dramatic spotlights, echoing the somber, cinematic visuals from the track's music video released earlier this month.

'On a song like 'More to Lose,' I try to keep it a singular take,' Cyrus previously explained in a video shared to Instagram. 'I add my harmonies, ad-libs at the end, but it's really a song that's more of a story and I never want that to be interrupted or overthought or chasing perfection.'
'I never wanted More to Lose to feel perfect, I wanted it to sound meaningful and emotional,' she added.
The performance arrives just one week before the release of Something Beautiful, Cyrus' highly anticipated ninth studio album, due May 30. The record is led by 'More to Lose,' April's 'End of the World,' and recent tracks 'Prelude' and the album's title track. It also features collaborations with Naomi Campbell and Brittany Howard.
The pop star is set to debut a visual album companion to Something Beautiful at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6. Described as 'a one-of-a-kind pop opera,' the film is directed by Cyrus with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter.
In a recent interview with Apple Music 1's Zane Lowe, Cyrus reflected on her journey to self-acceptance and sobriety — and how it shaped this new creative era. 'The sobriety is like, that's like my God. I need it, I live for it,' she said. 'It's changed my entire life.' Her 2023 smash 'Flowers,' which earned her her first-ever Grammys, served as the breakthrough. 'It was some sort of key right into the lock of all healing,' she added.
With Something Beautiful, Cyrus continues that journey — and if 'More to Lose' is any indication, she's not shying away from the parts that hurt.

Why Eminem Is Suing Meta for $109 Million
Originally appeared on E! Online is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with a social media giant. The 'Love the Way You Lie' rapper's publishing company Eight Mile Style filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms—which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp—accusing the tech company of copyright infringement and seeking over $109 million in damages, according to court documents filed May 30 and obtained by E! News June 3. In the filing, Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) alleges that Meta violated the copyright of 243 songs from his catalog through the 'unauthorized storage, reproduction and exploitation' of the tracks on their platforms. The lawsuit cites the apps' features, including Original Audio and Reels, as tools that 'allow and encourage its users to steal' his music to use in video content 'without proper attribution or license.' As a result, the Grammy winner is seeking monetary damages for 'the diminished value of the copyrights by Defendants' theft of them, lost profits, and Defendants' profits attributable to the infringement.' Alternatively, he asked for the maximum statutory damages, requesting $150,000 for each of the songs in question across all three of Meta's platforms, totaling a whopping $109,350,000.

The Detroit native has frequently channeled his personal life in his music, often rapping about his difficult childhood as well as his turbulent relationships with his late mother and ex-wife Kim Mathers. In fact, he previously shared that expressing himself artistically has had a positive impact on his mental health. 'One of the great things about rap music is that you could put so much of your life in it,' he explained during an appearance on Shade 45's Sway In The Morning in June 2022. 'It's therapeutic and that's how it's always been for me.' Eminem has also frequently rapped about his battle with addiction, including a 2007 drug overdose that led him to get clean the following year. 'I remember when I first got sober and all the s--t was out of my system,' he said in an interview on the Paul Pod podcast in September 2022. 'I remember just being really happy and everything was f--king new to me again.'

Sabrina Carpenter teases new song in 'micro' shorts, fans are in awe
Sabrina Carpenter teases new song in 'micro' shorts, fans are in awe Show Caption Hide Caption Met Gala: Sabrina Carpenter wears bodysuit Sabrina Carpenter is giving "espresso" as she wears a stunning pinstripe bodysuit to the Met Gala red carpet. Some are saying the shorter the shorts, the better. "Micro" shorts are officially making a comeback this summer after going away for a year or two, and it is all thanks to Sabrina Carpenter. The "Espresso" singer's new look, which consists of a white button-up, baby blue heels and denim cutoffs, continues to turn heads on social media. The discussion, mostly admiration, surrounding the outfit began June 2, when Carpenter posted a short clip of herself hitchhiking on the side of a highway. Carpenter later revealed that the video was tied to the release of her new single "Manchild." "this one's about you!!" Carpenter wrote in a separate social media post. "'Manchild' is out this Thursday 6/5 (at) 8pm EST. special 7 (inch) vinyl available now." Here's what people are saying about Carpenter's look, including a look back at the "micro" short trend. 'Micro' shorts are back, thanks to Sabrina Carpenter While Carpenter did not start the trend, she certainly revived it with her most recent social media post (And her fans are eating it up). Free People, on the other hand, did not see the same success when they promoted their own version of the "micro" denim shorts on social media in March 2024, about five months before Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet" album was released. Customers of the high-end retailer weighed in on the length of the shorts in the social media post's comments, joking about how the length of the shorts would not work for the average adult woman. "Everybody relax with these rude, aggressive comments. I bought them for my hamster and she loves them!' one user wrote. Those who chimed in bonded over their mutual dislike of the shorts. The response to Carpenter's outfit was completely different, with brands, fans and even haters showering her with compliments. "My brake pads would've popped off by how fast i would have stopped my car," one user wrote in the comments of her recent social media post. Sabrina Carpenter sparks frenzy with cheeky outfit, new music Carpenter, who has a penchant for all things glitter and lace, has been rocking babydoll negligees, blazer dresses without pants, corsets with garters, nightgowns, ballgowns, mini-skirts and of course hotpants even before the release of her sixth studio album "Short n' Sweet." "Femininity is something that I've always embraced," Carpenter told TIME in an October 2024 interview. "And if right now that means corsets and garter belts and fuzzy robes or whatever the (expletive), then that's what that means." The Grammy-award winning singer is leaning into that for her new single as well, donning casual garments, such as a pair of denim shorts and a long button-up shirt like a true girly girl would. While there has been some commotion, or a frenzy if you will, about the outfit, fans have also taken to social media to express their support and excitement for Carpenter's new song: everyone sending me the video of sabrina carpenter hitchhiking in short shorts.. to be loved is to be seen — annie (@sweetndpolite) June 3, 2025 why cant you guys announce singles like sabrina carpenter in booty shorts — gab ⊬ (@FAIRLYSCALED) June 3, 2025 where does one acquire the sabrina carpenter jean shorts she's wearing i need them bruhhh😭or similar fit — tulip 🪷🦚🦢 (@tulipb4by) June 3, 2025 fumbling sabrina carpenter and subsequently becoming the subject of a song she titled 'manchild' is a generational L bro you gotta go into hiding at this point 😭😭😭 — zoë rose bryant (@zoerosebryant) June 3, 2025 sabrina carpenter hating men is kinda the best thing to ever happen to pop music — ashley 💋 (@betubrina) June 3, 2025
