Miley Cyrus’ latest album, Plastic Hearts, was released recently, and the singer graced the cover of Rolling Stone to promote it.

The 28-year-old poses topless on the cover and inner pages.

This follows the singer’s admission that she “fell off” during the pandemic, but that she’s been “in and out of sobriety”

Miley is seen gazing directly into the camera with her hands covering her breasts on the cover of the magazine. She’s seen with a variety of ornaments on her hands and neck, giving her a more rock ‘n’ roll appearance.

Cyrus posed for photographer Brad Elterman. “AT LEAST I GIVE THE PAPERS SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT,” the “Midnight Sky” singer captioned the cover shot on social media. For the picture session, Cyrus donned a profusion of bracelets and rings, and she announced her entry into the punk era with a bold red lip, smoky eye makeup, and a cross earring. In the photographs, Cyrus’s new hand tattoo can also be seen. Winter Stone, a LA-based artist, did the ink.

In the interview, she also discussed her parents’ reactions to a leaked private photo from 2008, stating that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, seemed unconcerned while her mother expressed her displeasure.

“My dad ignored it because it’s just like any teenage girl and their dad’s like, ‘Let’s please not have this conversation,’” she told the publication. “My mom, I think it made her really angry. I think even she felt it could be distracting from what I was doing.”

“She knew the voice and talents that I could showcase,” she added, also referring to the moment fans believed she was dancing on a stripper pole during a Kids Choice Awards performance. “She was like, ‘What the f—k? You have the biggest song. Can you just make it about the song? Why do you have to make it about being a stripper?’”

The performer is dressed, but laying on the bed and chatting on the phone while holding the same expression as on the magazine cover in another photo from the shoot.

She further mentioned how she used to get comments on social media from people asking why she went nude since she is such a good vocalist.

“But because I did grow up watching the Cher show religiously, I love show business. I love entertainment. I love pop culture. I love unforgettable moments. I think there was a balance of me just loving making big media moments but also a sadness in the fact that I would think, ‘Did anyone even hear my song?’”

Cyrus released a shot from her Rolling Stone session, including one in which she removes her jacket to show her breasts while sticking out her tongue, her nipples only partially hidden by the Rolling Stone logo. She wrote, “THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD COVER IT, SO I WENT THE OTHER WAY.”

“Well, I, like a lot of people, being completely honest, fell off during the pandemic,” she told Zane Lowe for Apple Music’s New Music Daily.

“I would never sit here and go, ‘I’ve been f—ing sober.’ I didn’t, and I fell off and I realized that I now am back on sobriety, two weeks sober, and I feel like I really accepted that time.

“To me, it was a f—k up because I’m not a moderation person, and I don’t think that everyone has to be f—ing sober.”

She continued, per People: “I think everyone has to do what is best for them. I don’t have a problem with drinking.

“I’ve just been wanting to wake up 100 percent, 100 percent of the time.”

Miley Cyrus even discusses her hit song “Wrecking Ball,” in which no one sees the anguish she’s describing but everyone recalls her becoming nude.

“I don’t know whose fault that is. I don’t know if that’s mine or the way that our brains are programmed to think sexuality, for lack of a better word, trumps art.”

The Black Mirror actress spoke up about her illustrious career thus far and her hopes for the future. She told Rolling Stone, “I want to lay down a new stone for the next generation of artists, philanthropists, the way Debbie Harry has done for me. 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.”
