Miley Cyrus Evokes Her Inner Showgirl in ‘Easy Lover’ Music Video

Miley Cyrus has dropped a show biz-themed music video for her song “Easy Lover.” The clip, directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman, and Brendan Walter, arrived alongside Cyrus’ new album, Something Beautiful.

In the video, Cyrus arrives in a dressing room, where she dons a costume and has her hair and makeup done. She struts across a film studio backlot to one of the stages, where she dances alongside a group of back-up dancers in true showgirl style.

The song sees Cyrus reflecting on a difficult relationship: “You got the love I always needed/ Tie me to horses and I still wouldn’t leave ya/ But you’re not an easy lover.”

Something Beautiful, Cyrus’ ninth album, arrives ahead of the premiere of its accompanying short film, which is set to debut on June 6 at the Tribeca Film Festival before it hits theaters nationwide on June 12. The was directed by Cyrus with Bixenman and Walter, the same team responsible for the “Easy Lover” video (hint hint). A synopsis describes it as “a unique visual experience… including 13 original songs from the upcoming album. A one-of-a-kind pop opera from the mind of Miley Cyrus.”

The album includes collaborations with Naomi Campbell and Brittany Howard. The songs explore healing, transformation, and finding beauty in darkness, according to a press release. “All 13 songs have a special place in my heart,” Cyrus captioned a clip on X promoting the project.

During a fan event at the Chateau Marmont earlier this week, Cyrus debuted songs from the LP, while also teasing its follow-up record. “My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that,” she said. “Something Beautiful is just the appetizer.”
