Billy Ray Cyrus broke his fans’ achy breaky hearts at Donald Trump’s Liberty Inaugural Ball.

The singer, 63, took the stage in Washington, DC, on Monday hours after Trump, 78, was sworn in as the 47th president.

But Cyrus’ performance was deemed an “epic disaster” by fans after he had a huge meltdown over alleged technical difficulties.

No talent hack. I never understood his popularity, nor his offspring’s.

I watched his performance and thought “What the heck?”. It was horrible. Then afterwards, they played a recording that reflected his younger singing. Huge contrast. Poor guy getting old like everyone else.

Cyrus complained that his guitar wasn’t working while he performed his and Lil Nas X’s hit “Old Town Road.”

That was his first mistake.

I saw 10 seconds that performance, had no idea who it was, but knew whoever it was sucked and changed the channel.

I thought he might have been drunk or drugged.

The guy couldn’t sing a note. I appreciate any and All celebrity support of DJT but I think BRC should have stuck to “saying a few words” instead of pretending to perform to a bad lip synch.

Jason Aldean did a great set and he actually performed

Miley may be a psychopath but she does actually have talent. She deserves some level of success.

Meh, she does bad covers of songs that don’t need to be covered.

For those who didn’t see it, the chaos ensues at about the
7:00 mark.

I did NOT get the popularity of that Old Town Road song. I actually listened to it twice just to make sure I wasn’t missing something.
