Billy Ray Cyrus reacts to Miley Cyrus dropping her surname in connection with her upcoming music release. Multiple outlets report that Cyrus addresses the change in a social media post shared in response to Miley’s announcement about her new album.
Yahoo UK, The Independent, and NME all link the comments to Miley’s public announcement and frame Cyrus’s response as acknowledgement of the updated stage name on her album-related branding. The Independent and Yahoo UK emphasize that the country singer makes the remark via an Instagram post after Miley shares news of the album. NME reports additional detail from Cyrus’s message, including that he says he is “looking forward” to Miley’s new album, titled ‘Bass Persuades.’
While all sources agree on the basic event—Cyrus commenting after Miley’s announcement—there are differences in how much of the quoted content each outlet includes. The overall coverage centers on Cyrus’s reaction and the album context rather than on any further dispute or clarification.
