Overview
- Atlantic Records confirmed the deal, announcing Cyrus has left Columbia Records after a run that included the Grammy-winning single “Flowers.”
- Coverage frames the signing as the start of a new creative era for Cyrus, who guest‑edited Wonderland and has described her next record as an experimental, 10‑track project.
- Billboard reports the new album may be finished in the coming months and could possibly arrive before the 2027 Grammys, a timeline presented as reporting rather than a firm date.
- The Hollywood Reporter says the signing is one of Atlantic’s biggest since Elliot Grainge became CEO, following recent high-profile label moves such as Ed Sheeran’s switch to Interscope.
- Cyrus’s past choices matter to the story: she began at Hollywood Records, moved to RCA and then Columbia, has not headlined a solo tour since the Bangerz era, and has signaled limited interest in large-scale touring now.
