“My guitar is like my best friend. My guitar can get me through anything”: As she enters a new era by dropping the Cyrus name and rocking out in a white jumpsuit with a black Fender Strat, here’s what Miley has said about playing guitar

Miley Cyrus is on the cusp of a new era – in more ways than one. With the release of Bass Persuades, her tenth studio album, she’s dropping her surname and will be known simply as Miley.

At the same time, a short teaser video indicates that she could also be about to make some kind of musical pivot. This features Miley wearing an Elvis-style jumpsuit while playing a mystery custom black Fender Stratocaster, leading some fans to speculate that she could be about to ‘go rock’.
