Miley Cyrus’ boyfriend Maxx Morando made a surprise appearance in the music video for her latest single End Of The World which dropped on Thursday.
The Grammy winner, 32 – who is preparing to drop her ninth studio album Something Beautiful next month on May 30 – has been dating the drummer of the rock band Lilly since 2021.
The video accompanying the upbeat track showed the star performing on a stage that was backlit with various golden lights.
While holding a microphone in her hand as she belted out lyrics to the song, Cyrus also made her way over towards Morando, 26, playing the drums and whose face was never clearly shown.
At one point, the former Disney channel star could be seen laying in front of the drum set during the performance.
Miley grooved to the tune while wearing a sparkling green ensemble that had a plunging neckline on the front.

She completed the eye-catching look with a pair of strappy heels and allowed her locks to flow down past her shoulders in light waves.
Maxx sported a black outfit as he made the special cameo in the four-minute music video.
Cyrus and Morando first began dating after they went on a blind date back in 2021 and their romance was officially confirmed the following year.
During a past interview with British Vogue in 2023, the actress expressed: ‘Well, it was blind for me and not really for him. I thought, “The worst that can happen is I leave.”‘
The couple mainly keep their relationship out of the public eye, but have been spotted at a few recent events.
Last month in March, Miley and Maxx were seen walking the red carpet together at the 97th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood. Later that evening, the pair also stopped by Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
One month prior, the two stars also attended the SNL50: The Anniversary Special in NYC as well as the Homecoming Concert alongside Miley’s mother Tish Cyrus.
Last year, a source told People that Miley is ‘very happy’ with Morando and added that the songstress ‘has changed a lot in the past couple of years.’

The insider added, ‘She seems more calm and harmonious. Everyone loves Maxx. He’s a great guy. She is very happy with him. He’s private and doesn’t like being in the press. It’s been good for her.’
Cyrus has also been open about their six-year age gap and told Harper’s Bazaar last year, ‘He looks at life really differently than I do.

‘He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters…Honestly, he’s raised our dog off Reddit.’
The Flowers hitmaker added, ‘I’m like, “Are you sure we’re supposed to be doing this?” And he’s like, “On Reddit it says blah, blah, blah.” He’s very similar to me. We just don’t take life too seriously.’
Back in 2023, a separate source told Us Weekly, ‘Miley could see a healthy, positive and fruitful life with Maxx. She’s learning from her past marriage and relationships and wants to build toward a better future with him.’
The insider added that the singer ‘is very much in love’ but is not in a rush to walk down the aisle.
Cyrus was previously married to actor Chris Hemsworth from 2018 until their divorce in 2020.
Miley is counting down the days until she drops her upcoming ninth studio album Something Beautiful on May 30.
During a past interview with British Vogue in 2023, the actress expressed: ‘Well, it was blind for me and not really for him. I thought, “The worst that can happen is I leave”‘
One month prior, the two stars also attended the SNL50: The Anniversary Special in NYC as well as the Homecoming Concert alongside Miley’s mother Tish Cyrus (seen above)
Earlier this week, she dropped the tracks Prelude and Something Beautiful that are also from the LP along with accompanying music videos.
Miley announced that the music video for End Of The World dropped on Thursday by sharing a snippet to her main Instagram page.
The caption read: ‘Miley Cyrus unveils “End of the World,” the first official single off of her highly anticipated album, Something Beautiful, out May 30 via Columbia Records. The new single “End of the World” out now.’
Something Beautiful will contain a total of 13 tracks and follows her 2023 album тιтled Endless Summer Vacation.
Last month, a source told DailyMail.com that Miley is worried her father Billy Ray Cyrus could ruin her music comeback.
Billy – who is on rocky terms with some of his children including Miley and son Trace, 36 – recently uploaded a gushing tribute on social media to both the actress as well as his other daughter Noah, 25.
The insider stated, ‘Miley doesn’t want the family feud drama overshadowing her music career, especially right now as she gears up for a new era.
‘It feels like Billy is making this all about him while Miley has made it quite clear she wants to focus on her music and not have their family drama be part of the conversation.’

Miley notably did not include her father in her speech last year when she accepted her first Grammy, which she won for Best Pop Solo Performance for her song Flowers.
The pair have had a strained relationship in the wake of his messy personal life, which includes a public, vitriolic divorce from Firerose in 2024 after a short-lived marriage that lasted less than a year.
In addition to Miley, Noah, and Trace, Billy shares son Braison, 30, and daughter Brandi, 37, with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, 57. He also has a 32-year-old son named Christopher, whom he shares with Kristin Luckey.
Days after his ‘train wreck’ performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration earlier this year, Billy Ray announced a music collaboration with Braison.
And following Billy’s wonky inauguration performance – which was marked by technical difficulties – Trace made a public plea for his dad to get help.

His ex-wife Firerose also spoke out about the seemingly struggling country star at the time.
She addressed her former spouse’s behavior via a statement shared with Page Six.
‘What’s being seen in public now reflects much of what I experienced in private during our relationship,’ the Australian singer revealed.
‘It’s very sad to see those same struggles continue for him, but I’m glad the truth is coming to light – for his potential good because healing is only possible when you confront the truth and accept there’s a problem.’
