Miley Cyrus said it years ago, almost as a warning: August 25 belongs to her. 🗓️
That day she released “Wrecking Ball” in 2013, that day she released “Used To Be Young” in 2023, and that day her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, was born.
The singer, now 33, has always spoken of that date as something almost supernatural, a point where her career and personal life intersect time and again.
She never fully explained why, only insisting that it was important to her both professionally and personally.
This August 25, the date marked her again, but in a way no one expected: it was the day Dolly Parton died, the country legend who became Miley’s godmother when she was born, after Billy Ray and Dolly forged a friendship in 1992. 🎤
Parton was 80 years old and was facing a brief battle with cancer.
What Miley called a special date is now also the day she lost someone who had been part of her family from day one. 💔
