Overview
- Miley removed 'Cyrus' from her social profiles and on Sept. 1 announced her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, with a Sept. 18 release date.
- Her campaign lists a 10-track record with collaborators including Model/Actriz and Andrew Wyatt and schedules two Hollywood Bowl shows for Oct. 16 and Oct. 18.
- Billy Ray Cyrus posted that he spoke with Miley before the public change and called going mononymous a 'natural progression' for an iconic artist.
- Coverage notes the name shift follows Dolly Parton’s recent death and family reconciliation after earlier tensions between Miley and her father.
- Outlets treat the move as a promotional, era-specific branding choice rather than confirmation of a permanent or legal name change, and observers will watch whether the mononym endures beyond this album cycle.
