Billy Ray Cyrus Honors Ex Tish With Birthday Performance of 'Ready, Set, Don't Go'

The nostalgic post recalls the family's move west for Miley's early career.

Overview

  • Billy Ray Cyrus posted a video on X Wednesday to wish ex-wife Tish a happy 59th birthday with an acoustic take on Ready, Set, Don't Go.
  • In the caption, he dedicated the clip to "Hannah Montana Nation" and noted his late mother Ruthie was born May 14 before wishing Tish "peace, love, and happiness … forever."
  • He said he wrote the 2007 song while watching Tish drive Miley "down that driveway" as they left for Los Angeles to pursue her career.
  • The ballad later became a father-daughter duet with Miley during her Disney-era rise, which helped cement it as a family touchstone.
  • The post follows their 2022 divorce, with Tish marrying Dominic Purcell in 2023 and Billy Ray marrying Firerose that year before a 2024 split and a reported relationship with Elizabeth Hurley.
