Miley Cyrus is prioritizing her family relationships above all else. Following the release of her heartfelt new single, the emotional ballad “More to Lose,” the talented singer took to social media on Saturday (May 10) to address rumors regarding a supposed rift with her parents, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus. This public declaration highlights her commitment to family during a time when many fans are concerned about her personal life.
“I rarely comment on rumors,” Miley stated in a candid update shared through Instagram Story on her official account. “But my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us. She’s my best friend.” This statement not only emphasizes the strong bond between Miley and her mother, Tish, but also reassures fans that their connection remains unbreakable despite any online speculation.
Miley continued with a lighthearted remark about her mother’s social media skills: “Like a lot of moms, she doesn’t know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me—simple, coincidental, and uninteresting.” This comment refers to reports that Tish had unfollowed Miley on Instagram, which sparked discussions and concerns among their followers. Miley’s humorous take on the situation reflects her down-to-earth nature and serves to further clarify that there is no underlying tension between them.
Her heartfelt statement didn’t stop there: “My dad and I have had our challenges over the years. Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.” This acknowledgment of past struggles with her father, Billy Ray, illustrates her growth and the importance she places on family unity as she matures into her thirties.
“Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family,” Miley concluded her message. This expression of gratitude highlights her appreciation for the supportive environment her family provides, reinforcing the notion that love and health are paramount in her life.
Fans had voiced their concerns regarding the alleged unfollowing in various comments on Tish’s recent Instagram posts. In response, Tish clarified, stating that she was unaware of unfollowing her daughter. “I have no idea how that happened but it’s fixed now!” she replied to one of the concerned comments on Wednesday, May 7. As of Saturday, she was seen following Miley again on Instagram, putting fans’ worries to rest.
On Wednesday, Billy Ray shared a touching video clip featuring Miley performing a beautiful piece on the piano, accompanied by the caption, “Can’t wait to see this young lady. Crazy how time flies.” This nostalgic sentiment showcases the pride he feels for his daughter’s growth and accomplishments in the music industry.
On Friday, he posted a delightful snapshot of himself alongside his son Braison, as well as Miley and her boyfriend Maxx Morando, all gathered together to celebrate Braison’s birthday. This family moment further illustrates their close-knit dynamic and the joy they find in spending time together.
Miley’s latest single “More to Lose” is part of her highly anticipated upcoming album Something Beautiful, a collection of 13 tracks set to be released on May 30. This album will serve as a follow-up to her successful 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation, which featured the Grammy-winning, Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Flowers.” Notably, Endless Summer Vacation achieved impressive rankings, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
“I tried to keep it a singular take,” she shared with fans about the recording process for the emotional track “More to Lose.” “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 be perfect; I wanted it to sound beautiful and emotional.” This artistic vision allows listeners to connect deeply with the song’s narrative and emotional resonance.
During a special evening with Spotify last week, Cyrus provided fans with further insight into Something Beautiful, revealing that the album’s overarching theme centers on “beauty, but not what beauty represents by a standard of someone else’s idea.” In another memorable moment from the event, she humorously asked the audience — to cheers from the crowd — “On a scale of, I think, one to gay, how gay is this album? It’s not only my best album, but also my gayest.” This playful yet profound statement highlights her commitment to authenticity and self-expression in her music.
