Billy Ray Cyrus put family drama aside to congratulate Miley Cyrus following her big win at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Miley, 32, and Beyoncé received the Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their Cowboy Carter collab, “II Most Wanted,” on Sunday, February 2. Billy Ray, 63, was quick to celebrate his daughter via social media.
“Congratulations @mileycyrus and @beyonce on their well-deserved @recordingacademy Grammy wins! 
Couldn’t be prouder!!!

Miley — who won her first two Grammys in 2024 — attended the ceremony on Sunday with her mom, Tish Cyrus, and boyfriend Maxx Morando. She stunned on the red carpet in a custom leather Saint Laurent dress with skin-baring cutouts and turned heads with an edgy new ‘do. When she stepped out onto the Grammys stage to present the Record of the Year category, Miley rocked a black Maison Alaia gown with a plunging neckline.

The awards show appearance comes weeks after Trace Cyrus expressed concerns for Billy Ray in an emotional Instagram message. “Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. … We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew & hoping for the day he returns. You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it,” Trace, 35, claimed on January 22, adding that his sister Noah Cyrus “still idolizes” their father.
Trace noted that his plea came “from a place of love,” adding, “I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help. You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you.”
Billy Ray has yet to directly address Trace’s claims, which made headlines shortly after the “Achy Breaky Heart” artist’s performance at President Donald Trump‘s inauguration. Trace’s brother Braison Cyrus, however, insisted via his Instagram Story on January 24 that Billy Ray is “happy” and “healthy” following a previous hospitalization.
Trace went on to allege that his father was seeking “legal action” against him for publicly voicing his concerns. Billy Ray subsequently shared a cryptic message to his loved ones.

“Sunday callin. Giving thanks for the California Rain,” he wrote via YouTube Shorts on January 26. “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 
.”
Billy Ray and Tish, 57, were married from 1992 to 2022. The former couple welcomed Miley, Braison and Noah, 25, before calling it quits. Billy Ray adopted Tish’s eldest children, Brandi and Trace, and shares son Christopher Cody with ex Kristen Luckey. (Billy Ray was briefly married to Australian singer Firerose following his split from Tish.)
As Miley and her mom celebrated at the Grammy Awards, Billy Ray attended a fundraiser for the Nashville Humane Association on Saturday, February 1, his first public event since the inauguration.
