If you haven\u2019t heard, Miley Cyrus<\/strong> dropped her last name (professionally speaking, not legally).<\/p>\n

She\u2019s just being Miley<\/strong> forever now!<\/p>\n

As the daughter to another famous Cyrus, people were naturally curious as to what dad Billy Ray<\/strong> thought.<\/p>\n

Well wonder no more! The country singer took to Instagram<\/strong> on Wednesday to share his thoughts on his daughter\u2019s new era, saying:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFamily means more than ever now. I always called my little girl Miley. Just \u2026 Miley. Just like I always called my little boy Braison. Bet you didn\u2019t know \u2026 I was just CYRUS before Achy Breaky Heart came out in 92. All of my swag and T shirts only read. CYRUS SOME GAVE ALL with a picture of a POW MIA flag on it that and the words .. \u201cYou are not forgotten.\u201c I told @miley yesterday I felt good about her going with her first name. I mentioned Dolly and Cher. Thinkin about it more and more \u2026 Elvis .. Prince \u2026and so on. It\u2019s a natural progression for an iconic superstar legend. And the legend continues ! Looking forward to the new album. Now \u2026 if only Mercury \/ Polygram would have just not insisted on the\u201d Billy Ray\u201d part and just let me be CYRUS\u2026\u2026 I could have done something!!! Ha ha !!! All good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
