Billy Ray Cyrus’ feud with daughter Miley Cyrus explained | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Billy Ray Cyrus and his famous daughter Miley Cyrus have been feuding over politics for the better part of a decade – and now Billy Ray is set to perform at the second inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.

Miley, by contrast, threatened to “move” if Trump was elected back in 2016, raging on Instagram: “Honestly f*** this sh** I am moving if this is my president! I don’t say things I don’t mean.”

She walked back on the remarks later, admitting to NME: “I didn’t leave the country… I’m not f***ing leaving the country, that’s some ignorant sh**, that’s dumb. Because that’s me abandoning my country when I think I’ve got a good thing to say to my country.”

Miley has remained outspoken about her political views, calling for gun legislation and increased women’s rights after the US reversed the monumental Roe vs. Wade abortion bill.

A staunch Democrat, she’s at war with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus, a Republican who campaigns for gun rights and traditional family values.

The Achy Breaky Heart singer has appeared at various events with Melania Trump, and supported her when she was diagnosed with Covid-19. He supported Donald in 2024, writing: “I stand here with former U.S. President Donald J. Trump as a proud American.

“Mr. Trump is the 6th U.S. President I’ve met, and I felt like Mr. Corey Comperatore was right there with us.”

At the time, Miley was writing: “Trump can’t stop won’t stop saying stupid a** sexist sh**!!!! Comparing two women! Are you f****** kidding! We will not allow you to destroy everything we have overcome as women! I feel as though we are stronger than ever as a unit.”

Miley has also branded Trump a “f***ing nightmare” and begged: “Wake me up from this nightmare someone PLEASE.”

It’s also been alleged that Miley’s relationship with her dad became strained after he divorced her mum Tish, moving on with musician Firerose and getting engaged in 2022.

The pair have since divorced, but at the time a source alleged: “The divorce between her parents put a strain on her relationship with her dad and it’s been hard to connect with him in the last year. She hopes they can eventually work on their relationship.”

Miley supported her mum Tish when she tied the knot with Prison Break star Dominic Purcell – and even thanked her during her Grammys acceptance speech. But her dad was nowhere to be seen.

Miley singled out “my mommy, my sister, my love, my main gays because look how good I look. Thank you all so much, I don’t think I forgot anyone – but I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!”
