Miley Cyrus is already promising an 'extremely experimental' follow-up to Something Beautiful
The 32-year-old singer will release her ninth studio album on Friday (30.05.25), but she's already looking ahead to the next one as she starts work on her milestone 10th LP.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, she 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 fans to a bit of 'The Climb' from 2009's 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'.
'Something Beautiful' - which is a visual album - is set for release on May 30, while the film will receive its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in June.
So far, fans have heard a handful of the 13 new songs from the collection, all of which will be accompanied by new 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: "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' - which Miley is co-executive producing with Shawn Everett - is the follow-up to 2023's 'Endless Summer Vacation'.
The 'Flowers' hitmaker previously teased that the upcoming album was inspired by Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', and described it as a "healing" record.
She explained to Harper's Bazaar: "My idea was making 'The Wall', but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.
"It's a concept album that's an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.
"I would like to be a human psychedelic for people. I don't want anyone trying to be like me or imitate me or even be inspired by me. I want to impact frequencies in your body that make you vibrate at a different level."

Sabrina Carpenter is 'freaking out' over Taylor Swift collaboration
Sabrina Carpenter is "freaking out" about her Taylor Swift collaboration. It's been confirmed the Espresso hitmaker will be the sole artist with a guest spot on the 35-year-old singer's upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, which will be released on October 3. Taylor unveiled the tracklisting for her 12th record, and Sabrina, 26, will appear on the title track, which concludes the LP. Sharing the news on her Instagram Story, Sabrina wrote: "I know someone who's freaking out and it's me." The first six songs on the album are The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite, Father Figure, Eldest Daughter and Ruin The Friendship. On the second half of the album, she has confirmed the titles as Actually Romantic, Wi$h Li$t, Wood, CANCELLED!, Honey and The Life of a Showgirl. Sabrina was recently the opener for a leg of Taylor's Eras Tour, and she previously heaped praise on her idol. She told Rolling Stone magazine last year: "I hold her to such a different echelon. "I could never compare my life, my career, my trajectory to anything close to what she's done." Taylor enlisted her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce to reveal the title of her upcoming 12th studio LP, with the brothers sharing the news in a teaser for the Karma hitmaker's appearance on their New Heights podcast. On the podcast itself, Taylor revealed she wrote the record while on her Eras Tour. She said: "I wanted to sort of like glamourise all the different aspects of how that tour felt. "And that's how that felt to me at the end of the night, when all this has gone down." Whereas her last album, The Tortured Poets Department, was followed by an expanded double LP just two hours after its release, Taylor confirmed the new collection will only feature 12 songs. She explained: "There are no other songs coming … with Tortured Poets Department, I was like, 'Here is a data dump of everything I have thought, felt, experienced in two or three years. Here's 31 songs.' "This is 12. There's not a 13th, there's not other ones coming. This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time.'

‘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.'

AI rise like 'Terminator-style apocalypse': James Cameron
Hollywood director James Cameron says the world is on the brink of a 'Terminator-style apocalypse' if artificial intelligence is allowed access to weapons systems. Cameron conceded it's possible for humankind to be left facing extinction as predicted in his 1984 sci-fi movie The Terminator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. 'I do think there's still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defence counterstrike, all that stuff,' he told Rolling Stone magazine. 'Because the theatre of operations is so rapid, the decision windows are so fast, it would take a super-intelligence to be able to process it, and maybe we'll be smart and keep a human in the loop. 'But humans are fallible, and there have been a lot of mistakes made that have put us right on the brink of international incidents that could have led to nuclear war. So I don't know.' Cameron added: 'I feel like we're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence. 'They're all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time ...' Cameron recently signed an open letter calling for nuclear disarmament and his next film is Ghosts of Hiroshima, based on the Charles Pellegrino book of the same name which tells the story of the atomic bomb blast in 1945 and its aftermath. The director admitted the movie might be the most 'challenging film' he will ever make.
