Trace Cyrus Blasts 'Evil' Dad Billy Ray Cyrus For Skipping Grandmother's Funeral
Trace Cyrus, the son of country musician Billy Ray Cyrus, continues to hint at family discord even as his father appears to be happily in the throes of a new relationship.
On Tuesday, Trace Cyrus shared an Instagram post in which he accused the two-time Grammy winner of skipping his maternal grandmother's funeral.
'This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic,' he wrote alongside a photo of Billy Ray Cyrus. 'He really flew to Italy for a fashion show but wouldn't come to LA for Mammie's funeral while he was still married to my mom. Even after his daughter got him a 60k private jet like he demanded then he still didn't come after the plane was paid for.'
Addressing his dad directly, Trace Cyrus added: 'You're the lamest man to ever walk the planet earth. Honestly embarrassed to ever have considered you my idol. The best thing to come from your downfall is it made me go into beast mode. I refuse to be a washed up, delusional, evil person when I'm old like you.'
A representative for Billy Ray Cyrus declined comment on Trace Cyrus' remarks.
In addition to Trace Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus shares four more children ― including daughters Miley and Noah Cyrus ― with ex-wife Tish Cyrus.
Tish Cyrus' mother, Loretta Finley, died in 2020 at age 85, according to USA Today. Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus divorced in 2022 after 28 years of marriage.
Trace Cyrus, who is also a musician, has hinted at an estrangement from his father on numerous occasions.
In January, he urged Billy Ray Cyrus to seek help via an open letter on Instagram in response to his dad's shaky performance at President Donald Trump's inaugural festivities that month.
'We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew & hoping for the day he returns,' he wrote at the time. 'You're not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it.'
Trace Cyrus' post comes just days after Miley Cyrus shrugged off rumors of a strained relationship with her dad while appearing on The New York Times' 'The Interview' podcast.
'As I've gotten older, I'm respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents — because my mom really loved my dad for her whole life,' she explained. 'And I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is, obviously, really hard.'
These days, Billy Ray Cyrus appears to be enjoying his time with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley nearly two months after hard-launching their romance on social media.
On Tuesday, the musician acknowledged Hurley's 60th birthday with a heartfelt post on Instagram, writing: 'Happy birthday to the love of my life.'

How Mateus Asato changed gears from sideman and Instagram guitarist to fully-fledged artist
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's a truth universally acknowledged that social media can make or break you. In Mateus Asato's case, social media has proven to be a way for him to carve a path to the higher echelons of the music industry, leading to an ever-evolving résumé that includes names like Bruno Mars, Tori Kelly, Jessie J, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, as well as a signature guitar with Suhr. However, back in 2016, Asato's role as an A-list sideman left him questioning his future. While traveling to South Korea for a guitar clinic – and confronted with real-life human beings who had discovered him through Instagram and were actually invested in his personal career – he realized there was tremendous potential to switch gears from 'sideman' to 'artist.' 'I had no idea of the impact that these little Instagram videos were having until I actually went to South Korea,' he tells 'There were 500 people there just to see this 'Mateus Asato guy'. That totally changed the game for me: 'Wait a minute, I play for an artist… but also there's a big potential for me to just do my own stuff'.' Working on his own material has been far from easy, however. Discussions with friend and producer Matt Mainhard made him realize that 'it's not okay to just have a list of songs. We gotta have a theme. We gotta have some sort of concept, or something that will tell you where to go'. As for what we can expect from his hotly anticipated debut record, Asato sums it up as, 'The album is definitely a journey through all the sides of Mateus. The Mateus who's a sideman, Mateus as the Instagram boy, and then the Mateus that got more mature over the years. Who developed a different vision regarding music, regarding how I see guitar.' So-called 'Instagram guitarists' have been in hot water recently, with the Giacomo Turra controversy putting into question the lengths some go to to achieve virality and reap the benefits that guitar stardom offers.

Dua Lipa Confirms She's Engaged To Callum Turner — & Talks Starting A Family
Dua Lipa has finally confirmed her engagement to Callum Turner. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner spent New Years Eve together, and based on the giant ring Dua's wearing on THAT finger, it looks like they could be spending the rest of their lives together too! This celebrity couple were first spotted together in January 2024, and immediately became my favorite couple, like, ever. Engagement rumors were flying by the end of the year, and thanks to some of Dua Lipa's Instagram posts, the internet is more convinced than ever that these two will be headed down the aisle. And in June 2025, Dua Lipa finally confirmed the two will be tying the knot soon. Here's what she had to say! Yes, Callum Turner and Dua Lipa are engaged! The actress tells that 'yes, we're engaged,' and that 'it's very exciting.' I don't know about y'all but I'm thrilled. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling,' she continues, and they're in no rush. 'Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like, 'Oh, what would I wear?'' However, it sounds like Dua can't stop thinking about her ring. 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me," she adds. "It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' And will the couple be starting a family anytime soon? The singer admits 'it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take." 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens," she continues. "I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children." Dua Lipa and Callum Turner made their red carpet (er, blue carpet) debut at the 2025 Met Gala in complementary black outfits. Dua's sheer bodice and feathered skirt, plus her slick hairstyle, was giving contemporary flapper, while Callum looked dapper in a black suit and white tie. Peep Dua's ring on THAT finger! In a post celebrating the holidays, Dua Lipa posted a roundup of photos — led by a shot of her wearing a sherpa jacket and reindeer antlers. But as fun as her outfit is, the internet immediately focused on another detail: her new ring. It appears to be a diamond on a chunky gold band, and if you ask me, the ring's modern, glam look is the perfect vibe for the "Houdini" singer. "THE RING," one user commented, while another user said, "ENGAGED VIBESSSSSSSSSS," under another . And when Dua Lipa finally posted photos from her epic New Year's Eve celebration on January 3, a third user commented, "We all still waiting to see the 💍." TLDR; the singer's fans really want to know if she's engaged! But if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that this couple won't tell us unless they want to. And I'm here for it! Dua Lipa and Callum Turner keep their relationship pretty private (aside from some very cute walks), but according to one source, they've been "mad about each other" from the start. And it's clear because these two can't keep their hands off each other! "Dua and Callum are so in love and know this is forever," a source told in December 2024. 'They are engaged and couldn't be happier. Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake." "Callum is such a solid support for Dua and they make a wonderful couple," the source continues. "Their family and friends are so happy. It's been an amazing Christmas for them.' Stay tuned for the latest news on Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's engagement, and read up on ! This post has been updated.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stunned hockey fans at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final With a 2-1 lead in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final over the Edmonton Oilers, the Florida Panthers entered Thursday night's game hoping to inch a little bit closer to hoisting the trophy. The Panthers — who won the Stanley Cup last year after defeating, you guessed it, the Oilers — already had high excitement for Game 4. Well, the excitement ratcheted up a little bit more as celebrity super couple Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were in the house at in Sunrise, Florida to take in the game. The 14-time Grammy winner and 3-time Super Bowl champ have been dating since summer of 2023, and the duo has frequently attended sporting events in the Chiefs' offseason. Kelce, who had golfed in Fort Lauderdale earlier in the day, wore an all-red get up while the The Tortured Poets Department singer donned a cream-colored shorts ensemble with booties. The pair were filmed entering the arena hand-in-hand just after the game started. The couple was seen taking the game in, cuddled up together in the stands and looking at something on Kelce's phone. With the history between these two teams and the stakes of the game, it seems like Swift and Kelce have chosen the best possible time to take in their first hockey game together.
