“Is that a thing?” — Fans laugh as Miley Cyrus stops talking in the third person

For years, Miley Cyrus’ social media felt less like Miley herself and more like her team’s PR intern having a very polished day. Most of her posts read like, “Miley is excited to share her new single,” or “Miley thanks you for the love,” giving big “celebrity speaks in third person” energy. But now, fans are spinning out (in the best way) after a tweet by @PopCrave surfaced, documenting the time when Miley finally typed the sacred word: “I.”

Under a tweet announcing “Miley Cyrus has stopped talking in the third person,” @realcrazyvideo captured the confusion perfectly:

“Is that a thing?”

It is now. And with the release of her new album, Something Beautiful, it seems like Miley is reclaiming her voice—in every sense of the word.

Pop queen logs back into her own account and the internet loses it as Miley Cyrus ditches “Miley” for “me”

The digital streets were buzzing, and Twitter/X did what it does best: take a small moment—in this case, a personal tweet—and spin it into meme-worthy commentary. The post that started it all? A screenshot of Miley’s heartfelt message about her new album, Something Beautiful, where she finally ditched the third person and said “my album” instead of “Miley’s album.”

Some fans were just thrilled to see signs of life from Miley Cyrus herself. Here's a roundup of those reactions:

“so she actually logged in 😭😭😭"-@buffys

“she remembered her password !!” -@MileyNation13

“Will it be only one tweet?” -@UygarNFT

Others joked that this tweet might've come with some professional consequences:

“she got access back after her team took over 😭"-@playboykylie

“Now she has to fire her team!” -@JuliooGarciaaa_

And of course, the chaotic humor of the internet did not disappoint:

“Oh Hannah Montana took over for a sec” -@Strawguette69

“I thought this was Poo Crave” -@sjppa_

Some fans, like @RomanInGagCityy, had high expectations, referencing Miley Cyrus' 2020 fan-favorite record:

“it better measure up to Plastic Hearts”

Whether you were there for the jokes, the mild existential crisis, or just to witness a pop star reclaim her Twitter voice, one thing was obvious: fans noticed—and they were living for it.

The backstory: Third person Miley Cyrus, explained

Longtime fans know Miley’s Twitter account has felt… impersonal for a while. And that’s because it was. For the past few years, her account has reportedly been managed primarily by her team. The result? PR-heavy third-person statements like “Miley is grateful for…” that felt more press release than personal.

That’s why this first-person post hit so different. It’s a marked return to the raw, unfiltered Miley fans loved during her Can’t Be Tamed and Younger Now eras. According to sources close to the singer (and a few eagle-eyed fans), her team had been operating her page to maintain a consistent professional tone. But with the rollout of Something Beautiful, Miley Cyrus seems ready to speak for herself again—and fans are here for it.

Something Beautiful, her upcoming album, dives into themes of vulnerability, devotion, and evolution. Lead single End Of The World already has fans in their feels, and her new tone on social media matches that energy perfectly. Miley isn’t just dropping music—she’s dropping the barrier between her and her fans.
