Miley Cyrus will be going live on TikTok on November 26th at 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET to give a preview of her new album, Plastic Hearts. TikTok is proud to be a major source of music discovery for its community, with many users logging on daily in search of new music. The Watermarked series on TikTok is a recurring live session where artists from various genres team up with TikTok to give the community a first listen to their new releases. This live-only listening session is streamed and hosted by the artist, allowing TikTok users to preview major new releases before they are available on streaming platforms. Watermarked airs on Thursdays at 8:30PM PT/11:30PM ET, 30 minutes before the album is released on streaming platforms. During the session, artists walk their fans through key tracks of the album and answer questions from fans in the comments.

The next edition of Watermarked will go live on Thursday, November 26th, featuring an early look at Miley Cyrus' upcoming album, Plastic Hearts. Miley plans to make this live stream special by taking fans on an interactive journey inspired by the music and punk-rock aesthetic of Plastic Hearts. The stream will include cameos, easter eggs for longtime Miley fans, and excerpts of new songs from the album.

Miley has had a successful year on TikTok, with over 6.5 million followers and her music inspiring trends in the TikTok community. Her lead single from Plastic Hearts, 'Midnight Sky,' became a trending hit over the summer, generating over 40k video creations. Recently, Miley used TikTok to preview the music video for her latest single, 'Prisoner.' Miley's ability to make cover songs her own has also captivated the TikTok community. Her rendition of Blondie's 'Heart Of Glass' at the iHeart Music Festival became a viral TikTok sound, with fans obsessing over her transformation of the classic song. After generating over 30k video creations in just one week, Miley officially released 'Heart Of Glass' on streaming services, which now has over 118k total video creations and more than 35 million streams on Spotify alone.

Another Miley cover that gained popularity on TikTok was her version of the Arctic Monkeys' 'Why Do You Only Call Me When You're High,' which soundtracked the viral #MainCharacterChallenge. This challenge allowed TikTok users to unleash their inner divas and transform into their 'main character' at the moment Miley's piercing vocals hit. The #MainCharacterChallenge has over 420k video creations and over 114 million views on the hashtag.

With her upcoming live stream, Miley wants to show her gratitude to the TikTok community for their support and give them a gift in return.
