Billy Ray Cyrus Defends Himself After His Disastrous Trump Inauguration Performance!

Billy Ray Cryus showed up for Donald Trump — but his Achy Breaky stage equipment didn’t show up for him! Ha!

Miley Cyrus’ dad performed at the Liberty Ball on Monday as part of the convicted felon’s inauguration… If you can even call what he put on a performance!

The 63-year-old got on stage and quietly sang his portion of Old Town Road while footage from the Lil Nas X music video played on a large screen behind him. But, like, quiet was an understatement. You couldn’t hear the dude! OR his guitar! After the video cut, he paced the stage once again singing — or rather speaking — the lyrics.

He then moved onto Achy Breaky Heart, but the technical difficulties persisted. So, like Carrie Underwood, he had to attempt an a cappella version. And the crowd was… tame. Very tame. Very, very tame. LOLz!!

At one point, the Hannah Montana alum asked them:

“Check? Is anybody awake? Y’all want me to sing more or you want me to just get the hell off the stage? In life, when you have technical difficulties, you just gotta keep going, or as President Trump would say, ‘You gotta fight.’”

Oof.

Watch the painful performance (below):

That was hard to watch!!

But following the disaster, Billy kept his head high. He told People on Tuesday:

“I wouldn’t have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar and monitors worked or not. I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me. I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night and I’ve learned through all these years when the producer says, ‘You’re on,’ you go entertain the folks even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people and we had a blast. That’s called rock n roll!!!”

Sure, Billy…

Maybe all the singers who agreed to perform were just destined to be doomed… Like our country very well might be.
