Billy Ray Cyrus appeared on stage at Monday’s Liberty Inaugural Ball, where he provided a brief respite from the DJ music, but his performance quickly became chaotic. The singer was erratic and incoherent, refusing to leave the stage despite his microphone being cut off.
Cyrus’ set began with a performance of “Old Town Road,” featuring Lil Nas X’s vocals over the speakers. However, things took a turn when he complained that his guitar had been cut off and demanded to play another song. Organizers appeared to be making a deliberate choice, as Cyrus then launched into an a cappella version of “Achy Breaky Heart” without instruments.
The performance was marred by Cyrus’ strained vocals, which sounded like he was coughing out the lyrics. He lurched around the stage, tossing his scarf and jacket to the ground, and even spun awkwardly in front of the audience. The set was a far cry from the splashy entertainment organizers had promised for the evening.
The bizarre spectacle has sparked speculation about whether Cyrus was intoxicated or simply lost his train of thought. Regardless, it’s clear that the singer’s performance will be remembered as one of the most unusual moments of the inauguration ball.
