Billy Ray Cyrus addresses criticism of his performance at Trump’s inauguration
As a devoted fan, I found myself in awe as the seasoned singer, Billy Ray Cyrus, graced the stage to pay tribute to Donald Trump. The moment he started performing Lil Nas X’s smash hit “Old Town Road,” something unusual happened. It seemed like the equipment was acting up. Not one to let technical difficulties ruin the show, Billy Ray turned to his backstage team and humorously inquired, “Is anyone there? Do you want me to keep singing or should I just pack up and leave?
As a devoted fan, I found myself cheering on Billy Ray Cyrus during a recent concert when he encountered some technical trouble with his guitar. In true resilience, he exclaimed, “In life, when you face challenges like these, you simply need to press on, or as they say, ‘Stand your ground.'” Unable to fix the issue on the spot, Billy Ray chose to carry on with his heartfelt performance of “Achy Breaky Heart.” To make the moment even more special for us fans, he engaged the audience, encouraging us to join in, all while keeping rhythm with a snap of his fingers, as reported by Fox News.
The incident led numerous social media users to make fun of the 63-year-old musician over what one user labeled “arguably the most awkward moments in entertainment history” on their platform (originally Twitter). Following the criticism, Billy Ray Cyrus addressed the backlash concerning his Liberty Ball performance, saying, “I wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to perform at this event, whether my microphone, guitar, and speakers were functioning properly or not. I was invited by President Donald J. Trump, and I had a fantastic time at the Liberty Ball last night. In all these years, when the producer says, ‘You’re on,’ you entertain the crowd, even if the equipment fails. I was there for the people, and we had an amazing time. That’s what rock n’ roll is about!
By the way, it’s worth noting that Carrie Underwood encountered similar technical issues while performing before Miley Cyrus took the stage.
