Two nights after Miley Cyrus did what she did at the "VMA’s", Billy Ray was scheduled to appear on "Piers Morgan Tonight". He decided to bail at the last second. Well, he finally did the show last Thursday night and Piers asked him right up front what he thinks of the "controversy". Billy Ray said, quote, "I'm a singer-songwriter first and foremost. And I'm her daddy. I come from that school of as a singer-songwriter, as a musician, that it starts with a song.” "And it's that magic moment when a song finds the right artist, the right singer, and it becomes a synchronicity of that moment in time. "Miley harnessed into something very special. She's just Miley. She's an artist, she's real. I think that's what's happened over the years, Miley has been reinventing her sound.

Piers then asked Billy Ray if he knew what she was going to do ahead of time. You can see Billy’s response in the video below. By the way, Miley has a rumored new boyfriend. See the pictures here.
