Rooster

Achy Breaky heart, loud voice, and hometown pride.

Billy Ray Cyrus built his career on being loud, proud, and unapologetically opinionated — from his mullet-and-boots country persona to his outspoken defense of his family and faith. He commands attention in tight-knit communities, whether in country music circles or his Tennessee roots, and has never shied from controversy or confrontation when his pride is on the line. His combative public split with Lil Nas X over credit for 'Old Town Road' and his turbulent family dynamics both reflect the rooster's instinct to crow first and loudest.
