Goodbye Miley Cyrus! Hannah Montana star announces new name for social media handles, which could be linked to her new album

Miley Cyrus has made a noticeable change to her social media identity. On Monday, August 31, the singer removed “Cyrus” from her social media handles and now appears simply as “Miley” across her accounts. The singer has not yet explained the reason behind the change. Instead, she shared two red-and-black portrait photos on Instagram, with one post featuring the caption “MILEY” in capital letters.

The 33-year-old singer has yet to officially announce an album title, release date or lead single. Some reports have speculated that “MILEY” could potentially be the title of her upcoming album rather than simply a change to her online identity. However, neither Miley nor her team has confirmed this.
