Billy Ray Cyrus says he fully supports daughter Miley's decision to drop the family surname from her professional identity, revealing that at home she has always simply been 'Miley'. The country star, who once considered going mononymous himself, said he 'felt good' about the move as she prepares to release her tenth studio album, 'Bass Persuades'.
Miley removed 'Cyrus' from her website and social media branding in late August 2026 ahead of the new record. The change is strictly professional. Miley has not legally changed her surname.
