Billy Ray Cyrus Slammed After ‘Disaster’ Performance at Trump’s Inauguration

During the 2024 inauguration, Billy Ray Cyrus has encountered significant backlash after his appearance at Donald Trump’s Liberty Ball. The performance sparked debate due to various technical glitches and allegations of lip-synching, making it a trending topic on social media platforms.

Here’s why Cyrus’ performance has drawn criticism on social media.

Billy Ray Cyrus draws criticism over his performance

After performing at Donald Trump’s Liberty Ball, Billy Ray Cyrus has been met with considerable backlash. Numerous spectators claimed he was lip-syncing and found his act to be embarrassing. The country musician’s performance was marred by technical issues, such as problems with his guitar, which resulted in an uncomfortable a cappella segment. Frustrated and visibly upset, Cyrus engaged the stage crew and even asked the audience if they wanted him to quit the show.

As a dedicated fan, I attempted to add some sparkle to the occasion with an unplanned performance, but my efforts seemed to fall flat on social media. Instead of appreciation, I was met with a barrage of critical comments, many ridiculing my appearance and doubting my performance. One user bluntly remarked about me, “Billy Ray Cyrus, clearly lip-syncing, looks like he emerged from under a bridge before this feeble performance at Donald Trump’s inaugural Liberty Ball. It was mortifying.” Another social media user added to the chorus of criticism with, “Oh my goodness! Someone should have escorted him off stage! He either seemed intoxicated or under the influence, but either way, it was an embarrassing mess.

Amidst a tough year for Billy Ray, marked by his separation from his wife Fire Rose and ongoing strife with his daughter Miley Cyrus, he recently delivered a performance. The couple’s differences in political views have been highlighted in the media, particularly when President Trump made a jest about Miley Cyrus’ liberal stance during a rally in August 2024. This disagreement is said to have created friction between Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus.

In spite of the debate about his show, Miley Cyrus shared a post on Instagram thanking her invitation to perform at the Liberty Ball and emphasizing the importance of determination. Some supporters defended him, but others believed that the performance could potentially harm his career.
