Billy Ray Cyrus broke his fans’ achy breaky hearts at Donald Trump’s Liberty Inaugural Ball.
The singer, 63, took the stage in Washington D.C. on Monday hours after Trump, 78, was sworn in as the 47th president.
But Cyrus’ performance was deemed an “epic disaster” by fans after he had a huge meltdown over alleged technical difficulties.
The chaos began when Cyrus complained that his guitar wasn’t working while he performed his and Lil Nas X’s hit “Old Town Road.”
“Is my guitar still on? I think they cut me off. I don’t hear my guitar anymore,” Cyrus said to the stage crew.
“Check. Is anybody awake?” he asked. “I don’t hear it. Do y’all here this? Where’s everybody at? Check. Is anyone back there? Can someone turn my guitar back on? We’re gonna sing a little bit more.”
Cyrus grew more frustrated over the apparent malfunction with his guitar.
“Y’all want me to sing more or you just want me to get the hell off the stage? I don’t give a damn,” he said.
A technician came out on stage to try to fix the guitar, but Cyrus said the instrument was “dead.”
Miley Cyrus’ dad then handed the guitar over to the the technician and told fans to “just snap your fingers.”
He used a microphone to sing an a cappella version of “Achy Breaky Heart” as the audience awkwardly snapped along.
After his performance, the lights turned off but Cyrus didn’t immediately get off the stage. Instead, he awkwardly wandered around the stage before he was escorted away by someone.
Fans roasted Cyrus on social media for the cringeworthy incident.
“Oh my god! Billy Ray Cyrus’ performance at Donald Trump’s inaugural Liberty Ball is an epic disaster,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“It seems that Billy Ray Cyrus had a LOT more than just TECHNICAL ISSUES going on at the Liberty Ball just now,” another fan said.
So embarrassed for Billy Ray Cyrus right now..,” added a third person.
A different fan wrote, “That was truly a scary experience. Not sure if he was sick or drunk or both. Hope he is ok.”
The Post has reached out to Cyrus’ rep for comment.
Cyrus seemed to suffer a technical snafu on stage just hours after Carrie Underwood went through something similar at Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
The “American Idol” winner, 41, had to sing “America the Beautiful” a capella in the rotunda of the US Capitol because of a technical difficulty with the music.
As Underwood was told about the hiccup, she asked someone, “just sing?” She then added, “I can just sing it.”
Underwood told the guests “you know the words — help me out here,” as they joining her in singing the patriotic anthem.
After her performance, Underwood shook hands with former President Joe Biden, who mouthed “great job” to the country star, before she greeted Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Other singers who have performed at Trump’s inauguration celebrations over the past few days include The Village People, Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Nelly, country singer Lee Greenwood, and opera singer Christopher Macchio.
