Billy Ray Cyrus did not have an easy 2024. He ended his marriage to Fireroseafter, after just seven months, had a messy divorce, and there are rumors that he and his daughter, Miley, are estranged.
His 2025 is starting off on a good note for him (not the country) because he was asked to perform at the 2025 Inauguration Liberty Ball. So, you would think that he would dress up for the event.
He didn’t. In fact, yesterday, someone said he looked homeless, and today, he looked even worse. He wore a cowboy hat that hid his messy hair, which looked like it hadn’t been washed in a while. Below that, he donned an oversized jacket over a sleeveless tee and jeans.
If it was just how he looked, it would be one thing. However, it was also singing. He began by lipsyncing to Old Town Road with the music video playing in the background because there was no band to support him. He tried to get the audience to join in, but they just stood there. Well, they did sing along to the chorus, but that was it. He could not even get them to clap his hands. It was so quiet you could hear Trump and Giuliani farting.
Then he had technical difficulties and said he couldn’t get his guitar to play. It was never fixed, so he did an acapella version of Achy Breaky Heart. He sounded hoarse as he walked aimlessly around the stage, and again, the audience just stood there. After the chorus, he just gave up. He proceeded to take off his jacket and threw it on the floor.
Finally, production played the music video for Could’ve Been Me, and he continued to just walk around the stage waving to the audience, who didn’t care he was there.
Finally, someone from backstage came out to get him off the stage. Without a hook as they did in Vaudeville.
I don’t know if there is anything wrong with him, but this reminded me of how The Rose ended. If you don’t know how it ended, spoiler alert: Bette Midler collapses on the stage and dies.
Billy Ray Cyrus recently got divorced from his second wife, and it is rumored that he is estranged from his daughter, Miley Cyrus.
Therefore, one could assume that this is causing him to have an achy, breaky heart. And that achy breaky heart is causing him to look like shit.
What does he want to help him look like his old self? He says, “I want my mullet back. My old Camaro … and my 8 track.” Someone get him some scisssors, and the rest will come.
Oh, and kids, 8 tracks were like big cassettes that died with Disco.
When you think of Hannah Montana, you only think of Miley Cyrus in the role. But that was not always the case.
The Used to Be Young singer told the story about how it took her over a year to get the part.
Believe it or not, her first audition was for Lily, the best friend, and not the girl who was leading a double life. But as soon as they saw her audition, they asked her to put herself on tape for the lead role.
They loved her, but there was one big problem. At 11, she was much younger than the other people they cast. Therefore, they went with someone else and shot a pilot.
A year went by, and Disney called her up to audition again and see how much older she looked. This time, she looked old enough to join the cast. So they gave her the part, and the rest is Hollywood history.
But that was not the only reveal she made about casting for the show. She also shared the story about her real-life father, Billy Ray Cyrus, played her dad on the show. Casting thought Billy Ray, who was filming Doc in Toronto at the time, was cute, but they weren’t sure if it was possible for him to do both. Therefore, when Tish Cyrus heard that, she said she would make it happen. And she did.
And now you know Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus became Robby Ray Stewart and Hannah Montana.
