Billy Ray Cyrus Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Tish Cyrus with 'Ready, Set, Don't Go' Performance
Billy Ray Cyrus recently shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to his ex-wife Tish Cyrus by posting a performance clip of his 2007 song "Ready, Set, Don't Go." The emotional ballad was inspired by his daughter Miley Cyrus's pursuit of her Disney dreams. In the caption, Billy Ray dedicated the song to the "Hannah Montana Nation" and all their friends at Disney, reminiscing about the lyrics and the family's journey to support Miley's career.
"Ready, Set, Don't Go" was released in 2007 and gained even more significance when Miley joined her father for a duet version of the track. The song reflects Billy Ray's struggle with letting his daughter leave home to chase stardom in Los Angeles, mirroring their real-life experience during the peak of "Hannah Montana" fame.
Billy Ray and Tish were married for almost 28 years before officially divorcing in 2022. Despite their ups and downs, including multiple divorce filings, they raised five children together, including Miley. Tish has since married actor Dominic Purcell, while Billy Ray had a short-lived marriage with singer Firerose, which ended in a messy divorce in 2024.
Despite the family's challenges, Billy Ray's tribute to Tish shows that some memories continue to resonate deeply. The emotional connection to "Ready, Set, Don't Go" highlights the enduring bond between the Cyrus family members and their shared journey in the spotlight.
