Is the screenshot of Pope Leo XIV supporting Miley Cyrus’s new song real?
The screenshot showing Pope Leo XIV endorsing Miley Cyrus’s new song has quickly gone viral across social media. According to the image claim, the pope reposted the popstar’s post where she announced her new song More To Lose is out now. However, a review of the pope’s official X (formerly Twitter) account reveals no such post exists. His most recent post was made on April 15—well before the release of Cyrus’s song “More to Lose” on Friday, May 9.
Additionally, her upcoming album Something Beautiful is set to be released on May 30, 2025.
