Emotional Miley Cyrus and dad Billy Ray have different relationships with fame. Here’s why

Miley Cyrus repeatedly paid tribute to her dad Billy Ray Cyrus in a TikTok series for her new single, “Used to Be Young.” Miley Cyrus got emotional and nostalgic in a retrospective TikTok series this weekend. It touched on the relationship with fame fostered by her country-crooner dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, her step back from arena touring and her audition process for her hit Disney Channel series “Hannah Montana.” She used to be young, for sure. In May, “The Voice” coach made headlines when she revealed that she preferred performing at festivals or doing truncated album tours with five to eight performances to doing arena tours, which she feels provide “no connection” and “no safety.” “If you’re performing at a certain level of intensity and excellence there should be an equal amount of recovery and rest,” Cyrus said in another TikTok post Sunday. And without my humanity and my connection, I can’t be a songwriter, which is my priority.” Cyrus also looked back at the beginning of her acting career — a chicken pot pie commercial — and her audition for “Hannah Montana.” She started that process in 2004 as a middle schooler, going out for the part of the titular character’s best friend Lilly.
