It's an eventful week for Miley, as the popstar is now known. After losing her godmother, Dolly Parton, last week, the artist is now announcing the start of a new era.

Notably, she has dropped the surname Cyrus from her artist name. Though no formal announcement was made regarding the name change, many fans pointed over the past few days that 'Cyrus' was disappearing from her handles on social media. A press release from Warner also refers to Miley mononymously.


Along with the news of the name change, Miley is announcing that her tenth studio album, Bass Persuades, will come out on September 18. ''Music takes hold of us. We feel it, sing it, sometimes dance to it, let it out and carry on. It is powerful, vulnerable, sweet and strong. Heart full, heartache, every part of life in between. That’s what the title means to me,'' she shared on Instagram.

She will also return to the stage, taking over the famous Hollywood Bowl, on October 16 and 18, with Model/Actriz on opening duty,.

Ella Langley's ''Choosin' Texas'' Gets the Drake Treatment

Drake is doing well on the charts this year, but it looks like he's going after 2026's biggest hit so far.

At an appearance at a Toronto club this weekend, Drake previewed what appears to be a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” giving the country hit the Drizzy treament. In the brief clip circulating online, Drake can be heard crooning over the reworked production, following the melody of Langley’s original hook, though lyrics are hard to make out. Neither artist has announced a release date for the remix.

Dolly Parton ‘Laid to Rest’ After Private Funeral, Family Says

Dolly Parton was laid to rest after a private funeral in Nashville, the country legend’s family said, days after her death at the age of 80.

The singer’s great-niece Lainey Parton — who referred to Dolly as “Aunt Granny” — posted on social media Saturday, “I wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words From the time I was little, my granny always had a way of making me feel like I was enough. She never made my dreams feel too big or made me feel like I couldn’t do something. She believed in me before I even knew how to believe in myself.”
