The former Disney Channel star, known for her role in “Hannah Montana” alongside Billy Ray, has had a tumultuous relationship with her dad over the years. Tensions between the two were evident earlier this year when Miley noticeably excluded Billy Ray from her 2024 Grammys acceptance speech. Instead, she thanked her mother, Tish Cyrus, her sister, her “love,” and her stylists.
Despite expressing concern over his well-being after seeing the viral performance, insiders reveal that Miley Cyrus has no intention of reconciling with her father.

In his Instagram message, Trace also admitted he “barely recognizes” his father, adding, “I hope you realize this message only comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon. I love you, Dad.”
Trace then revealed his personal journey, sharing that he has been sober for over a year and a half. He offered his father support, saying, “We haven’t talked in a while, but I’m over a year and a half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing,” he continued. “I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly, but I think I have a pretty good idea, and I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help.”

As The Blast reported, country music star Billy Ray Cyrus took to the stage at President Donald Trump’s inaugural Liberty Ball earlier this week to perform his iconic hit, “Achy Breaky Heart.” However, the performance was marred by a series of technical difficulties that tested the seasoned entertainer’s resolve and adaptability.
Throughout the set, Billy Ray faced issues with his guitar and microphone, forcing him to improvise in the moment. In a surprising turn, he ultimately performed portions of the song a cappella, stripping down the iconic tune to its raw essence.
At one point, the singer removed the microphone from its stand and began speaking the lyrics rather than singing them, demonstrating his determination to deliver a show despite the challenges.
The performance quickly became a topic of conversation, with attendees and fans weighing in on social media. In response to the chatter surrounding the performance, Billy Ray released a statement addressing the evening’s events.
“I wouldn’t have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar, and monitors worked or not. I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me,” he said. “I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night, and I’ve learned through all these years when the producer says, ‘You’re on,’ you go entertain the folks even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people, and we had a blast. That’s called rock ‘n’ roll!”
