In a twist that would make any family dinner awkward, Miley Cyrus has brought home a country Grammy before her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. At the 67th annual Grammy Awards on February 2, Miley and Beyoncé won the coveted Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their song “II Most Wanted”. This historic win marked Miley as the first Black woman to score a Grammy for a country music song since the Pointer Sisters did it back in 1974. Talk about making waves in the land of cowboy boots and pickup trucks.

Billy Ray, the man whose ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ and ‘Old Town Road’ have defined so many questionable dance moves over the years, has yet to snag a country Grammy himself for his old hits. Sure, he has a couple of shiny trophies from duets with Lil Nas X, but we all know those are not the same as clenching one for his original tunes. It seems like the universe has decided that his daughter’s achievements come before his, probably reminding him of all those times he threatened to take the karaoke mic away.

And it’s not just the Grammys that have given the Cyrus family a touch of drama. There’s some well-publicized family tension brewing, largely thanks to Billy Ray’s controversial performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration, which sent his son Trace into a public frenzy. Trace was recently worried enough to send out a plea for what could only be described as a family intervention. The rift runs deep, with Miley’s Grammy acceptance speech last year omitting her father’s name, leaving fans wondering if they were witnessing a real-life soap opera.

Miley expressed her joy for winning while making no secret of her close relationship with her mom, Tish, who’s been her rock through these turbulent times. “I wrote that song, like, two and a half years ago,” Miley recalls fondly, “My mom would always go, ‘I love that song so much’.” It’s sweet, really; even in an industry riddled with tension and ego, the bond of a mother and daughter shines through, even if it means eclipsing Billy Ray’s legacy.

As for Miley’s self-deprecating humor at the Grammys? “I don’t think I forgot anyone but I might’ve forgotten underwear. Bye!” Honestly, we wouldn’t expect anything less from the daughter of a country legend with a knack for putting the ‘fun’ in dysfunctional. While the Cyrus family navigates their own version of country music chaos, one thing is clear: this isn’t just a family of stars; it’s a reality show waiting to happen.
