The Hannah Montana alum shared “one of my best memories” with his fans.
The snapshot of the two was taken during their attendance at the Country Music Association Festival, also known as Fan Fair.
Billy Ray flexed his muscles as he wrapped his arm around Miley, who appeared as a toddler.
“That’s [Miley] and me, surrounded by thousands of incredible fans at the fairgrounds,” he mentioned.
Billy covered the side of her head with his hand, as his fingers nearly touched her short bowtie hair bun.
‘A TRUE ARTIST’
The Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker framed the image with the handwritten pages of his poem, titled The Moment.
“The next day, someone handed me this picture, and I wrote that poem right then on the bus,” Billy captioned the post.
“I’m incredibly proud of her.”
“She’s a survivor and a true artist,” he went on.
“She learned early on to love and appreciate the fans who make everything possible.”
“We both cherish the connection we have with our fans and are grateful for every single one of you!” Billy closed.
Miley’s hit song, Flowers, played in the background.
THE GRAMMY SNUB
Billy’s nostalgic post came months after Miley supposedly snubbed her father from her Grammy acceptance speech.
In early February, Flowers scored Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the award ceremony.
MILEY AND BILLY RAY CYRUS’ FEUD
Dive into the rumored feud between Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus:
Speculation about the rift between Miley and Billy began after his split from her mother Tish Cyrus in April 2022.
The couple had been together for 30 years before they eventually called it quits.
The pair filed for divorce in 2010 and again in 2013, before reconciling both times.
When the exes ended things for the third time in April 2022, Billy revealed he was engaged to the Australian singer, Firerose.
At the time, fans noticed that the former Disney Channel star had unfollowed her father on social media and seemed to have sided with her mom after the divorce.
Tish tied the knot with Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell on August 19, 2023.
The two were wed during an intimate wedding ceremony in Malibu.
Among the attendees were her son Trace, daughter Brandy, and Miley, who served as the maid of honor.
“Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular,” Miley said that night.
“I want to thank everyone that’s standing on this stage right now Tom, Tyler, Michael, and Greg…”
“Our teams, my team, Crush, Columbia, my mommy, my sister, my love, my main gays because look how good I look,” she thanked.
Viewers pointed out the pop star thanked a slew of individuals – including her mom Tish – but did not mention her dad.
HANNAH MONTANA
The TV stars previously co-starred on the Disney Channel sitcom Hannah Montana.
The show followed Robby Stewart (Billy) and his daughter Miley Stewart (Miley), who would switch into her superstar alias of Hannah.
From 2006 to 2011, the two spent four seasons on the program.
