Miley Cyrus may be preparing for a new musical era after sharing a cryptic Instagram post that appears to tease new music and a possible change to her stage name.
The pop star posted a photo on Monday (Aug. 31) showing herself staring into the camera while wearing a fuzzy black jacket. The image is tinted bright red, and the caption simply read, “MILEY.”
Cyrus’ social media username has also changed from her full name to “@miley.” Billboard has reached out to Cyrus’ representatives for more information.
Miley Cyrus’ next album may be on the way
The Grammy winner has not released an album since Something Beautiful last year. The record peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. It followed 2023’s Endless Summer Vacation, which produced “Flowers,” an eight-week No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Earlier last week, Cyrus appeared to begin teasing her next era when cryptic red-and-black billboards promising “coming soon” appeared. The campaign began roughly a day before the death of Dolly Parton, the country music superstar and cultural icon who was also Cyrus’ godmother.
“The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share,” the Hannah Montana alum wrote on Instagram shortly after Parton died at 80 following a brief cancer battle. “Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.”
“What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong,” Cyrus continued at the time. “I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis.”
Her latest post may offer the first glimpse of what is next for Miley Cyrus.
