Drama between Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus and their family after awkward Grammys snub

There was some awkward tension at this year's Grammys

We can all agree that the 2024 Grammys were a big one for Miley Cyrus.

After a whopping six Grammy nominations, Miley, 31 won two awards for her song 'Flowers' - Best Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year.

But despite receiving recognition for her incredible achievements, there was one elephant in the room when the singer stepped up to accept her award.

Having made history in her career by collecting her first Grammys, Miley used the opportunity not only to praise her fellow artists, but also to give a shoutout to the people who had helped to get her there.

She said: "This award is amazing. But I really hope that it doesn't change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular.

"So please don't think that this is important, even though it's very important, right guys?"

Miley then thanked her mom and her sister during the speech, before adding: "I don't think I forgot anyone - but I might've forgotten underwear. Bye!"

Ever since the acceptance speech, people have been wondering why Miley didn't thank her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Fans were quick to weigh in on the drama, and while it's not clear whether Miley chose not to shoutout her dad, people have a lot of thoughts.

"Did y’all catch the shade Miley threw at her dad during her award speech?" one person wrote on X, while another posted: "Miley deliberately leave out her dad in her thank you speech ???"

Many have been wondering if there's some sort of drama between Miley and certain family members, following her parents' divorce.

Billy Ray and Miley's mom, Tish, announced their divorce in April 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage, with Tish having since gone on to marry Prison Break star Dominic Purcell.

Only Miley and Tish's children from a previous relationship were at the wedding, despite Billy Ray and Tish having two other children - Miley's sister, Noah, and brother, Braison.

When Billy Ray and Tish divorced, it seemed to be on amicable terms.

"It is after 30 years, five amazing children and a lifetime of memories, we have decided to go our separate ways - not with sadness, but with love in our hearts," they told People in a statement.

"We have grown up together, raised a family we can be so proud of, and it is now time to create our own paths."

It's unclear whether there have been any feuds since, but Billy Ray, 62, has also moved on.

The star got engaged to Australian singer Firerose, 34, in August 2022 before marrying last October.

UNILAD has contacted Miley and Billy Ray's reps for comment.
