Miley Cyrus' estranged dad Billy Ray speaks out on her third Grammy win despite family drama

Ahead of the 67th Grammy Awards telecast, Miley Cyrus triumphantly won her third trophy for the Beyoncé duet, II Most Wanted, in the best country duo/group performance category. The 32-year-old pop star was probably not expecting to hear from her estranged father Billy Ray Cyrus, but he took to Instagram anyway to publicly congratulate her. 'Congratulations @mileycyrus and @beyonce on their well-deserved @recordingacademy Grammy wins!' the 63-year-old country crooner gushed on Sunday night.
'Couldn't be prouder!!!'. Miley (born Destiny) famously left Billy Ray out of her acceptance speeches when she won record of the year and best pop solo performance for her break-up anthem Flowers at the Grammys last year. Cyrus - who's never won a Grammy in a country category - worried fans with his disastrous performance at President Donald Trump's post-inauguration Liberty Ball on January 20, which was plagued with technical difficulties.

Soon after, the Achy Breaky Heart singer's adopted son Trace Cyrus publicly spoke out about being 'genuinely worried' for his health and said he could 'no longer respect you as a man,' which allegedly led him to 'threaten me with legal action.'.
Billy Ray's third ex-wife Firerose also chimed in, saying she 'prayed for him every day' despite their seven-month marriage acrimoniously ending last August. Last Tuesday, Cyrus seemingly addressed their concerns by sharing a clip from his 2009 music video for Somebody Said a Prayer, which features Trace. 'Sunday callin,' the Old Town Road rocker captioned his YouTube short. 'Giving thanks for the California Rain. Praying for the brokenhearted and their pain. Praying for my family. For my children … sons and daughters…and their mother. Let this moment be the start of healing for us all. "The past does not equal the future." Amen.'.
Meanwhile, Billy Ray's son Braison Cyrus insisted their dad is 'happy,' 'healthy,' and 'ready' to release an album they produced together. On Sunday, Miley - who 'inherited the narcissism' from her dad - was joined on the red carpet by her mother Tish Cyrus-Purcell, whom she called her 'hero' on Netflix's My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman last June. The 57-year-old mother-of-five flaunted substantial cleavage in a black corseted sheer turtleneck dress as she posed with Cyrus inside LA's Crypto.com Arena.
Tish (born Leticia Finley) notoriously married her youngest daughter Noah Cyrus' ex Dominic Purcell in 2023 after ending her on/off 27-year marriage to Billy Ray in 2022.

Cyrus was also supported at the Grammys by her boyfriend since 2021, Liily drummer Maxx Morando. The Beautiful That Way singer opted for three different black maxi-dresses - a sexy YSL halter leather look, a conservative long-sleeve mesh number, and a custom Alaïa plunging creation.
Miley accessorized her LBDs with the same peep-toe stilettos and Tiffany & Co jewelry selected by stylist Bradley Kenneth. Hairstylist Cervando Maldonado coiffed Cyrus' choppy, layered mane featuring chunky blonde highlights. Make-up artist James Kaliardos fully contoured the former Disney Channel star's complexion, with defined cheekbones, overlined lips, and cat eyeliner. Miley later presented the Grammy for record of the year to rapper Kendrick Lamar for his LA anthem, Not Like Us.
