Billy Ray Cyrus has shared a post addressing speculation surrounding his daughter’s new album. Pop star Miley Cyrus released a trailer for her forthcoming 10th album, Bass Persuades, with the teaser featuring her title as just “Miley”. The name change has also been reflected across her social media pages.
Sharing a portrait of herself with a white rose in her mouth, she captioned the post: “Music takes hold of us. We feel it, sing it, sometimes dance to it, let it out and carry on. Heart full, heartache, every part of life in between.
That’s what the title means to me.” And while many fans questioned the singer’s decision to drop her surname, Billy Ray Cyrus insisted it was a “natural progression” for “an iconic superstar legend”. Just like I always called my little boy Braison,” he said. All of my swag and T-shirts only read: ‘CYRUS SOME GAVE ALL’ with a picture of a POW MIA [”prisoners of war”, “missing in action”] flag on it… that and the words… ‘You are not forgotten.’” He continued: “I told Miley yesterday I felt good about her going with her first name.
I mentioned Dolly and Cher. Thinkin’ 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.” Enjoy unlimited access to 100 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music Sign up now for a 30-day free trial. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.

The couple were married for nearly 30 years. Billy Ray is in a relationship with British model and actor Elizabeth Hurley.
