Cyrus Is Releasing an Album This March
Earlier this month, Cyrus shared the news that she’s releasing her eighth studio album, titled Endless Summer Vacation, on March 10. This will be the singer’s first new album since the 2020 release Plastic Hearts, not including her 2022 live album.
Fans think that Cyrus’s new single “Flowers” is about her split from ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. In addition to being released on his birthday, the song also seems to reference the house they lost in the Woolsey Fire in 2018.
We can’t wait to hear what else Cyrus has up her sleeve as she prepares for the release of her new album.
