She's Just Being Miley — On Snapchat

by Caitlyn Callegari

When I think of Snapchat and who would enjoy that platform most, my mind instantly goes to one quirky star in particular: Miley Cyrus. With the wild filters and the face swaps, it's pretty much everything her Instagram has been all about for years now. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she was Snapchat's muse in someway, which is why it's fairly obvious that she delights in the social media platform. But, if you aren't watching her snap stories and desperately want to, you may want to ask this question: What is Miley Cyrus' Snapchat name?

Well first, let me tell you, it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I thought of a variety of Snapchat names for the singer — usernames like: UnicornPotRainbow, HannahMonCHATa, LisaFrankLvr, and SparklyRhinestoneButt. But no, I was wrong. So, so wrong. Cyrus' Snapchat name is actually quite demure and upfront. You see, her Snap name is just, well, her name. So, if you want to follow Cyrus on Snapchat, all you have to do is search for "mileycyrus." I know, it's almost disappointing, right?

Listen I don't blame her. It makes it easier for people to find and follow her this way, and as a celeb with a public profile and a persona to upkeep, you want your fans to be able to easily follow you. Besides, both her Twitter and Instagram names are simply her name, as well, with different variations of capitalization.

She's keeping things uniform, which is quite unexpected from her, but still, savvy. Though, be warned, if her disappointed fans on Twitter are any indication, it doesn't appear that she use exercise Snapchat account all that much:

On the bright side, that doesn't mean she's afraid to appear in other people's snaps, considering that she happily showed up on sister Brandi Cyrus' Snapchat. And it's clear she comfortable in front of the (impromptu) camera:

Here's to hoping she becomes a more active Snapchatter in the future.
