Miley Cyrus Disses Country Music, Breaks Billy Ray’s Achy Breaky Heart

Mar 19, 2010 at 7:00am

Even though her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, is country music star, Miley Cyrus says she isn’t a fan of country. Guess she’s not in Nashville anymore?

Miley says that country music makes her “nervous” and that she would never dip into the country music genre because she finds it “contrived” and superficial. Miley says, “unless you’re wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots and singing and whining about your girlfriend  or boyfriend leaving you it’s not going to sell.” She reports that she finds wearing “those cowboy boots” and being “sweet as pie” to be too nerve-racking.

Billy Ray, meanwhile, doesn’t appear to find the music so contrived and meaningless as he continues to put out country albums.
