Miley Cyrus recently released her new album, Plastic Hearts, and the singer has graced the cover of Rolling Stone to promote the new record.
For the cover, Cyrus posed topless for photographer Brad Elterman. On social media, the "Midnight Sky" singer captioned the cover photo, "AT LEAST I GIVE THE PAPERS SOMETHING THEY CAN WRITE ABOUT. ☠️." Cyrus wore a plethora of bracelets and rings for the photo shoot, and the singer signaled her entrance into a punk rock era with a bright red lip, smokey eye makeup, and a cross earring. Cyrus's new hand tattoo is also visible in the photos. The ink is by LA-based artist, Winter Stone.
Inside the magazine, Cyrus posed with an open shirt, her nipples only partially-concealed by Rolling Stone's logo. "THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD COVER IT SO I WENT THE OTHER WAY," she wrote.
In another photo, Cyrus posed in just some sheer tights and pair of boots. "I’M COMPLETELY NAKED BUT I’M MAKING IT FASHION," she captioned the snap on Instagram.
During the interview, the Black Mirror star opened up about her incredible career to date, and what she hopes to achieve in the future. "I want to lay down a new stone for a path for the next generation of artists, philanthropists, the way that Debbie Harry has done for me," she told Rolling Stone. "I’d like to be known as someone that created something that didn’t quite exist, or that I delivered something that no one knew that they needed or wanted, but when they had it felt that they couldn’t live without it. ... That’s what I would want as an artist."
