Miley Cyrus just debuted a new song called “More to Lose” in front of…wait for it…her EXES! π€£ Is this the new form of therapy? “Hey, let me sing about my heartbreak directly to the people who caused it!” Talk about awkward Thanksgiving dinner vibes! π¦
So, the “Midnight Sky” songstress, who clearly hasn’t run out of creative ways to recycle past relationships, decided a pre-Met Gala event in NYC was the perfect venue for this spectacle. A “small crowd” got the privilege of witnessing the birth of this “stirring ballad” from her upcoming album, *Something Beautiful*. Yeah, because break-up songs are *always* beautiful. π
Miley, in a moment of profound self-awareness (or maybe just to stir the pot), announced to the assembled exes: “I have a lot of people that Iβve known and loved for a very long time in this room. Even a couple of exes.” Oh, honey, we *know* you have a collection. Are you planning to open a museum of broken hearts? π Maybe sell tickets? I’d pay to see Liam’s face during this performance.
Then she proceeded to belt out lyrics like: βOh, Iβll stay when the ecstasy is far away / And I pray that itβs cominβ βround again. And you say it, βI wish it wasnβt true, ohβ / I knew someday, the one would have to choose / I thought we had more to lose.β Deep, right? Shakespeare could never. π I’m sure all the exes were just *thrilled* to be reminded of their past mistakes. Talk about a captive audience!
Now, let’s play “Guess Who’s Cringing in the Crowd?” The list of potential victims includes ex-husband Liam Hemsworth (who probably just wanted a burger), Cody Simpson (remember him?), Stella Maxwell (who?), Nick Jonas (pre-Priyanka days!), Kaitlynn Carter (that summer fling!), and Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf era!). It’s like a who’s who of Miley’s romantic history. Who was actually there? Nobody knows! The suspense is killing me! πͺ
*Something Beautiful*, which is apparently a “visual album” (because just listening isn’t enough these days), drops on May 30th. And get this, it’s premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in June! Move over, Scorsese, there’s a new auteur in town! π¬
We’ve already been blessed with “Something Beautiful,” “Prelude,” and “End of the World.” Because, you know, subtlety is for losers. The album boasts 13 new tracks, all accompanied by “one of a kind pop opera” visuals. One of a kind? Or just one of many attempts to stay relevant? π€
After unleashing the title track, Miley declared it “another bold artistic evolution” in her career. Oh, please. It’s a break-up album. We’ve all been there. It’s not exactly reinventing the wheel. π
The Instagram statement claims “Something Beautiful” explores her “deep connection to fashion” with a custom Mugler design. So, heartbreak + fashion = art? Groundbreaking. π
This “bold artistic evolution,” co-executive produced with Shawn Everett, is the follow-up to 2023’s *Endless Summer Vacation*. Because apparently, she needs endless vacations to recover from all these relationships. ποΈ
Miley, in her infinite wisdom, compared the album to Pink Floydβs *The Wall*, calling it a “healing” record. “My idea was making *The Wall*, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.” Because that’s *exactly* what *The Wall* was missing: more glitter and celebrity cameos. π€¦ββοΈ
She also wants to be a “human psychedelic” for people. “I donβt 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.” Translation: “Buy my album and maybe you’ll feel something.” π€·ββοΈ Good luck with that, Miley. Maybe stick to twerking. π
