Billy Ray Cyrus strikes a nerve with a heartwarming tribute to his kids, Miley and Noah, as their successful singing careers take off. The Lost crooner’s relationship with his daughters has taken a tense turn in recent years amid prevailing rumors of a family rift. Billy’s son Trace appeared to confirm these rumors earlier this year when he scribbled an open letter to him, asking the dad to reconnect with his family, especially his youngest daughter, Noah, who still idolizes him despite not being a part of her life for years as much as his older kids.
Billy Ray Cyrus appears to have accepted his adopted son’s invitation to make amends with his kids and the rest of the family. Shortly after Trace’s olive branch, the Lost crooner took to YouTube to share a short clip from his 2009 music video of Somebody Said a Prayer, which featured Trace. He accompanied it with a caption that paid tribute to his kids and their mom, declaring “the start of healing” for them all. The 63-year-old went a step further this week, sharing a celebratory tribute to his daughters as they launch their big music comeback.
Billy Ray Cyrus Breaks Down During Proud Dad Moment
Via Instagram, Billy Ray Cyrus went candid about how proud he felt to have two of his kids attain musical excellence within the span of a week. He wrote,
“Holy shit. I seldom ever swear in my post, but this deserves one! You are witnessing in real time what it feels like for a Dad who within less than one weeks time has had his ass kicked and his mind blown by not one …but two of his own daughters @mileycyrus @noahcyrus . Flesh and blood … completely taking their art to a whole new level. Congratulations, girls!”
The 63 year old admitted he was in tears writing the heartfelt tribute to his daughters. He proceeded to congratulate the duo, wishing them fun and happiness. The emotional post drew hearty reactions from fans, who felt glad to watch the family gradually embrace healing after a long estrangement. One fan praised,
“What a beautiful post @billyraycyrus 👏. So lovely to see a Daddy shouting his girls’ success.”
A second wrote,
“I love this proud Dad post. What a beautiful post. Everyone deserves a second chance, I hope you and your family heal.”
Another fan chimed in,
“I think everyone deserves a second chance, this beautiful and talented family has to stay together, and they deserve all the success in the world. ❤️🇧🇷✨”
Miley Cyrus Fears Dad’s Emotional Post Could Sabotage Her Career
The seemingly innocent post did not seem to have its desired effect. A source close to Miley Cyrus revealed that the Something Beautiful star was displeased by her dad’s emotional display. According to the insider, the 32-year-old feared his display would only draw attention to their family rift, ultimately overshadowing her big music comeback. This left the songstress “fuming at her dad’s attempt to make this career milestone all about himself.” Per DailyMail,
“Miley doesn’t want the family feud drama overshadowing her music career, especially right now as she gears up for a new era.”
The Wrecking Ball singer is at a crucial point in her career as she plans her new era with a new album, Something Beautiful, set to drop on May 30. The star announced the upcoming visual album on March 19 and has since spearheaded a full-blown music campaign as part of her promotional effort to make the launch a success. Meanwhile, the Lost singer Billy Ray Cyrus’ youngest daughter, Noah, debuted her new track, Don’t Put It All on Me with Fleet Foxes, on the same day as big sister Miley’s announcement.
Billy’s performance at Donald Trump’s inaugural Liberty Ball, where he had a meltdown over technical issues, has left a cloud of negative publicity hovering over him. The last thing his daughters need is for this unwanted press coverage to be linked to them at any point in their careers.
