Billy Ray Cyrus gets a dose of the glitch pandemic that plagued Donald Trump‘s inauguration music segment. The performer found himself experiencing technical difficulties on stage at the Liberty Ball. Billy hit the stage to perform his hit songs Achy Breaky Heart and Old Town Road. He got cut off in the middle of the show as he could not hear his guitar playing.
The singer kept asking the stage crew if his guitar was still on. Billy continued to hold the instrument up before asking the workers backstage if they were awake. INDEPENDENT shared that help finally came when a crew member offered to help him fix the musical instrument on stage. Billy was excited about the development, as he echoed a line from Trump, “You got to fight.”
Fans on social media took advantage of the situation to make a mockery of Billy Ray. The singer already came under fire for accepting to perform at the event in the first place. “Poor Billy Ray Cyrus! What happened to him,” wrote this user. Another curious user shared the same concerns, as they had never seen him in that light before. One other commenter instantly rated Carrie Underwood’s Acapella performance higher than the country legend.
A spectator could not believe their eyes as they thought the musician’s video was edited when the sound stopped. Another eagle-eyed viewer accused Billy of indulging in illicit substances before hopping on stage. This commenter insisted the performer looked nothing like Billy. A seventh observer shared that he should have never been allowed to come near the stage to begin with. This user described whatever happened to the singer that led him to that point as “horrid.”

Inside Billy Ray Cyrus’ Daughter and President Donald Trump’s Feud
Wrecking Ball hitmaker Miley Cyrus has never hidden her dislike for the politician. She has also been open about her political leanings and has endorsed candidates like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The singer previously tagged the politician a “fโing nightmare” and a “hateful aโhole.” Miley’s remarks have not gone unnoticed by the showbiz professional who reacted to her constantly dissing him.
Trump openly mocked the GRAMMY winner during one of his campaign rallies last year with her father in attendance. The politician seized the event to quiz the musician on how his daughter chose an opposing political view. He asked how the award-winning singer got such a “liberal daughter?” under his watch.
With such a complicated history, the public could not understand why the older Cyrus would support Trump. His decision to play for Trump has earned him the “sellout” moniker. Some fans called him the worst father ever, and others described him as “pathetic.” Like Billy, country singer Carrie Underwood was also dragged for accepting to perform at the inauguration ceremony.
Billy Ray Cyrus has lost this round in his feud with the internet, no thanks to his guitar!
