Miley Cyrus’ New Instagram Campaign Will Leave You Seriously Inspired

Who are Miley Cyrus real siblings?

Miley Cyrus has a total of five siblings! Braison and Noah are the children of Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, making them Miley's full siblings. Brandi and Trace are Tish's children from her first marriage with Baxter Neal Helson. Billy Ray also has a son named Christopher from a previous relationship with a woman named Kristin Luckey.

Are Miley and Noah half sisters?

Because of how beautifully blended the Cyrus family is, there has been confusion surrounding how Miley and Noah are related. Miley and Noah are full siblings are not half sisters, contrary to popular belief! Miley is seven years older than Noah, and the two seem to be very close.

Everything To Know About Miley Cyrus' Siblings

Brandi Cyrus, 36

Brandi Cyrus was born on May 26, 1987, and was adopted by Billy Ray in December 1993. Brandi is also in the entertainment industry, though in a completely different way than Miley. She previously co-hosted a show on Bravo called Cyrus vs. Cyrus: Design andConquer. Now she co-hosts two podcasts called Your Favorite Thing and Sorry We’re Stoned.

Like Miley and Noah, Brandi and Noah seem to have a very close-knit relationship! Brandi has joined her sister at multiple awards shows and is never shy about gushing about her younger sister's undeniable talent.

Trace Cyrus, 34

Trace Cyrus was born on February 24, 1989, and was also adopted by Billy Ray Cyrus after he married Trish Cyrus. Trace is also a musical icon and is the lead singer of the popular band, Metro Station. A fun — and often-forgotten — fact is that Trace was previously engaged to Brenda Song! He was also with musician Taylor Lauren Sanders, and he's publicly credited Miley for helping him get through that difficult breakup.

Christopher Cyrus, 31

Christopher Cyrus was born on April 8, 1992 to Kristin Luckey. Though the rest of his siblings remain in the spotlight, Christopher chooses to live a more low-key life. There is little known about what he is up to, and he's not currently publicly active on social media.

Braison Cyrus, 29

Braison Cyrus was born on May 9, 1994, in Nashville and shares the musical abilities that much of his family boasts. He has performed his music and showed off his talent on shows like The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He got married to Stella McBride Cyrus in November 2019, and the sweet couple welcomed their first baby on June 8, 2021. Their adorable little boy is named Bear Chance Cyrus!

Earlier this month Braison announced his Nashville residency at the Hillsboro Village, proving that he's still carrying on the family's musical legacy.

Noah Cyrus, 24

Noah Cyrus was born on January 8, 2000, and began her life in the spotlight at the early age of 2 through her appearance on her dad's show. She was also featured on Hannah Montana a few times! Nowadays, she doesn't seem to be pursuing acting anymore, preferring music instead.

Noah is incredibly talented like her older siblings and even earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2001. Miley has been very vocal about her pride for her little sister and how she's who she looks up to. Noah has also been open about how it wasn't easy growing up as Miley's sister because she was constantly being compared to her.

Now, Noah seems to have happily established herself and her talent in her own right and she is engaged to a fashion designer named Pinkus.

Is Miley Cyrus related to Dolly Parton?

If you've ever watched Hannah Montana, you've seen firsthand that Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton have undeniable chemistry. Dolly gives off "cool aunt" vibes, and the two are often seen performing together! This has led to speculation that Miley and Dolly are actually related. This is not the case, but these strong and talented women do have a special bond, and Dolly is Miley's godmother!

What Is "Flowers" About?

The first single from Endless Summer Vacation is an upbeat and hopeful (even if melancholy) observation of a previous relationship in Miley Cyrus' life. The production feels old school and more toned-down than some of her previous work, which lets the lyrics — from "I can buy myself flowers" to "I can hold my own hand, Yeah, I can love me better than you can" — really stand out.

We can already tell this album is going to be on repeat for the summer, and we love that something we'll listen to at the beach and on roadtrips is also a self-love anthem.

During her performance at the 2024 Grammys, Miley went off script and after singing "Started to cry, then remembered I," she shouted "I just won my first Grammy!" then started dancing around the stage. The moment was so joyful, and such a long time coming, that we couldn't help but feel just as excited as Miley about the win!

Our Thoughts On "Endless Summer Vacation"

Endless Summer Vacation reveals a different kind of depth and emotion that we haven't seen from Miley Cyrus before. The album is a melancholy kind of nostalgic that strikes an aesthetic balance between her 2017 Younger Now's "Malibu" and 2020 Plastic Hearts's "Midnight Sky."

Its upbeat sadness reminds us of Harry Styles' "As It Was" or Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero," and speaks to the way that as humans, we still want to approach life with optimism, even in the face of pain and difficulty. Endless Summer Vacation is honest, sexy, and feels like we're listening to Cyrus' diary entries. What can we say? We're obsessed.

Our favorite songs? "Jaded," "Flowers," and "Violet Chemistry."

We would love to hear this album live, but according to some recent statements from the singer, it probably won't be at a stadium tour.

"I can’t. Not only 'can’t,' because can’t is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?” she says in an interview with British Vogue. “Singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love...There’s no connection. There’s no safety. It’s also not natural. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people then you are alone.”

We might not get to sing along with thousands of other people in an arena, but we will definitely be dancing to Endless Summer Vacation in our bedrooms.

Everything You Need To Know About "Endless Summer Vacation"

Miley Cyrus announced her 8th studio album at her New Year's Eve party in January, and followed the announcement up with an Instagram post. The album art for Endless Summer Vacation features Cyrus hanging from a trapeze bar in a bodysuit, sunglasses, and heels. The mix of black accessories and bleach blonde hair stand out against the blue sky, which totally puts us in the mood to go to the beach.

According to a press release for album, Endless Summer Vacation is a "love letter to L.A," and based on the lyrics and themes in "Flowers," the whole album will showcase Cyrus' growth, healing, and strength.

Who Else Is Involved In "Endless Summer Vacation"?

In addition to Mike WiLL Made-it (who previously collaborated with Cyrus on 2013's Bangerz), Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson are also involved as producers. Gregory Aldae Hein and Michael Pollack are credited as writers.

What Songs Are On Miley Cyrus' New Album?

We don't have a tracklist yet, but keep checking back for the full announcement!

When Will The Album Be Released?

Endless Summer Vacation will be released on March 10, 2023.

Does "Endless Summer Vacation" Have Any Collabs?

Endless Summer Vacation features Brandi Carlisle on "Thousand Miles" and Sia on "Muddy Feet." Considering Cyrus' previous collaborations (Dua Lipa, Britney Spears, and Dolly Parton have all been featured on past albums), we're not surprised she picked such powerhouse women.

Where Can I Listen To The Album?

The album will be released on Spotify and Apple Music, and you can also buy physical copies from Miley Cyrus' official website.

Are There Any Music Videos?

Cyrus released a music video along with "Flowers" on January 13. What starts off with Cyrus hiding under a hood and walking over an enclosed bridge turns into a messy ponytail and carefree dancing through LA.

A black and white music video for "River" was released on March 10.

The "Jaded" music video dropped on May 16, and we're obsessed with the grainy overlay and toned-down saturation. It's totally reminiscent of summer in the '90s and now we want to go swimming!

What People Are Saying

As a Power of Women honoree, Mariska was recognized in regards to her work as an advocate for sexual assault survivors. She took the stage and used her platform to discuss rape and assault conviction reversals, shining a light on the recent overturned ruling in Harvey Weinstein's landmark NYC case. Here's what she said:

Today I want to talk about reversing convictions, and more specifically I want to talk to you about how impossible it is to reverse mine. It’s impossible to reverse my conviction that survivors matter. It is impossible to reverse my conviction that what happens to us matters, and that our society must respond to survivors with a more a compassionate, holistically, deeper, and more nuanced understanding of what healing means.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that after a trauma, survivors can reclaim lives of hope, of possibility, of audacious risk, beautiful intimacy, and glorious, glorious abundant joy. And I stand before you as evidence of that statement.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that we must listen to survivors as experts on what justice means. It is extraordinary how little their voices are consulted, let alone incorporated, in the process of deciding how to repair harm. Justice is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that patriarchal impunity has to end. Patriarchal impunity is when a male-dominated system exempts perpetrators from punishment. Studies show that only 20% of all rape cases in the U.S. are reported to the police, and that between 5 and 0% of all rapes result in a guilty plea or a conviction. So why do 80% of victims not report? Because they're met with a system that grants impunity to perpetrators; a system that blames victims; a system that accepts only those victims who are experienced as "real" rape; a system that completely misunderstands the neurobiology of trauma, which causes behavior in women that doesn't fit the picture of how a "real victim" would act.

Is that change needed that victims should just pull themselves together? Just buck up and report anyway? No. No, it's the system that receives them that needs to change

It is impossible to reverse my conviction — and the conviction of my extraordinary team, The Joyful Heart — that the backlog of untested rape kits can be brought to zero; that the testing of all new kits must be mandated; that we need a statewide kit tracking system; and that survivors have the right to access the status of their kits.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that grammar — yes, grammar — that we use when we speak about rape must change. In the sentence, "A woman is raped," there's a crime and there's a victim, but there's no perpetrator. Where's the perpetrator? Where is he? Statistically, as we know, most likely he's walking free. He's so free that he doesn't even appear in the language about the crime that he committed. Is that not extraordinary? It's extraordinary that in the very grammar, the perpetrator goes free. Reintroducing perpetrators in the language of rape will make some very unwieldy grammar, but that's the nature of change. It's unwieldy, it's messy, it's uncomfortable, but it's necessary.

Hargitay continued on in her prolific speech to describe that rape shouldn't be considered a "crime of passion" because it's "not simply the next step in the trajectory of his passion" when a man takes a consensual hookup too far and assaults a woman against her will. She stated that it's "an exercise of power," doubling down that the language we use is important.

The speech went on to address that rape is both about power and control, as a "construct" that was "built, and assembled, and reinforced over time." She noted that there are people with these positions of power — and she specifically called out those in the entertainment industry — that could make a difference and aligned themselves to victims and survivors.

After this and some other remarks, Hargitay specifically called out the Weinstein conviction reversal. She said:

I do want to say something about the Harvey Weinstein conviction, specifically about the reason that it was overturned: too many women's voices. Too many women's voices were allowed to speak. Hallelujah! Amen! I can't imagine anything more beautiful than that. The Daily podcast episode talked about how it was so risky for the prosecution to have that many women testify. Risky to let women speak? You're damn right it is!

Too many women speaking brings change. Too many women speaking shakes the establishment. Too many women means we get listened to more, and people might actually hear what we have to say. Look what happened when women started saying just two words, right? Me too — just as an example — a tidal wave of change. Me too.

And then of course, there was the response: the Me Too Movement. The backlash. The examination of whether the changes that have come are lasting, or are even positive. Of course there's a backlash! What did they expect? For women to speak repeatedly, loudly, together, with a purpose — for there to be no backlash? The backlash is evidence of how powerful those voices were, how powerful those voices ARE.
