Saturday, September 5, 2026 -Miley Cyrus has dropped her last name in the lead up to her tenth studio album, “Bass Persuades,” prompting her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to react on X.
Miley’s announcement about dropping Cyrus from her name
sparked rumours about alleged ongoing tensions between the singer and her
father.
However, Billy Ray revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that
Miley notified him about the name change in advance and he had nothing but
support for his Grammy-winning daughter.
“Family means more than ever now,” Billy Ray Cyrus wrote on
X. “I always called my little girl Miley. Just … Miley. Just like I always
called my little boy Braison. Bet you didn’t know … I was just CYRUS before
Achy Breaky Heart came out in 92…. I told Miley yesterday I felt good about her
going with her first name. I mentioned Dolly and Cher. Thinking about it more
and more … Elvis .. Prince … and so on. It’s a natural progression for an
iconic superstar legend. And the legend continues ! Looking forward to the new
album.”
