Miley Cyrus’s Grammy acceptance speech, where she notably omitted thanking her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has fueled rumors of a feud between them. The speculation began after Billy Ray’s engagement and marriage to Firerose, a 34-year-old musician, which coincided with a growing distance between him and Miley.

Despite previously being close, the absence of any mention of Billy Ray in Miley’s speech, alongside his non-attendance at the Grammys, has reignited talks about their strained relationship. In her speech, Miley focused on the importance of living life on her own terms and acknowledged several family members and her boyfriend, but the conspicuous silence about her father spoke volumes.

This omission comes amidst internet buzz about the changing dynamics in the Cyrus family, highlighting a potentially deepening rift between father and daughter.
