Miley Cyrus’s father is country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus, which likely contributes to her music’s noticeable country influences. Despite Miley Cyrus’s prominence as a pop artist—popular songs like “Flowers” and “Wrecking Ball”—her music is equally recognized for its pop inspirations.
Perhaps this is why Cyrus’s 2018 performance of “Man of Constant Sorrow,” a country/bluegrass tune, at the American Institute was so impressive; the video has since gone viral, with over 8 million views.
