The famous family names Miley Cyrus left out of her Grammys acceptance speech.

Miley Cyrus is a Grammy winner.

At this year's awards ceremony, Miley won Best Solo Pop Performance and Record of The Year for her empowerment anthem 'Flowers'. For the latter award, which she accepted from Mariah Carey and subsequently fangirl'd about the presence of the other MC, Miley shared a butterfly metaphor.

But her Record of the Year speech raised a few more eyebrows — and not just because of her very on-brand quip about forgetting underwear.

It was actually because of the names she did not say.

She thanked "everyone that's standing on this stage right now," pointing to her collaborators, plus "our teams, my team, Crush, Columbia, my mommy, my sister, my love, my main gays because look how good I look."

She concluded: "I don't think I forgot anyone, but I might've forgotten underwear."

Cyrus' mother Tish and sister Brandi were both in the room, which could've been why they got singled out as the family members she thanked. But there may have been other reasons her other family members, like dad Billy Ray Cyrus and musician sister Noah, didn't get their own shout outs too: a Cyrus rift.

This feels even more likely after Miley seemed to double down on the omissions on socials.

"To my mommy @tishcyruspurcell I love you more than anything in the entire universe, my family, @brandicyrus thank you for being there like always," she wrote on Instagram.

The same images and message on Facebook, however, leave out the specific Brandi shout out and instead just says "my entire family".

Instagram, left, vs. Facebook, right. 

Sure, it's getting into the nitty gritty. But it adds to a mountain of public evidence that something has gone awry for this previously very tight-knit family, following the divorce of Tish and Billy Ray in 2022.

All of our previous public evidence comes down to two weddings.

If I had a dollar for every time the Cyrus family siblings publicly feuded around the time of their parents' weddings, I'd have two dollars. Which is not a lot of money but it is weird that it's happened twice.

In October, Billy Ray Cyrus, achy breaky heart no more, married his fiancée, Australian musician Firerose (a.k.a Johanna Rosie Hodges). 

They said 'I do' after a year-long engagement and in a post to Instagram described it as "the most perfect, ethereal celebration of love we could have ever imagined."

Good for them.

As far as we know, none of Billy Ray's six children — Brandi, Trace, Christopher, Miley, Braison or Noah — attended the wedding, further highlighting a Cyrus-family rift that was really visible around the time of Billy Ray's ex-wife Tish's wedding to (another Australian) actor Dominic Purcell in August.

I'm going to need an eight-part docuseries into why the Cyrus family are so bloody into Aussies. But anyway.

Then, cementing that things weren't great, a rogue social media comment from Billy Ray's youngest daughter, Noah Cyrus, overshadowed her dad's marriage news.

A video of Miley doing a September 2020 interview with Joe Rogan had recently resurfaced online, showing a conversation between the two about Noah, a musician in her own right, following in Miley's footsteps.

"She's got a record out that I love called The End of Everything … and it's the most depressing EP you'll ever listen to," Miley says.

"She's 20 years old. She's emo. She's, like, an emo kid."

Noah, now 24, wrote on TikTok: "the disrespect in this video…", reigniting speculation that the Cyrus fam have been split down the middle following Billy Ray and Tish's separation in 2020 and finalised divorce last year.

On one side, there's Tish and her eldest children. Then it appears the younger siblings, Noah and Braison, have sided with their dad. We don't really know why/how/what went down to cause it, but that hasn't stopped them from making some pretty public digs at each other.

When Tish married Dominic in August 2023, only three of her children — Brandi, Trace and Miley — were in attendance, and each part of the bridal party. Her two youngest children with ex-husband Billy Ray Cyrus, Braison and Noah, were not there.

Instead, the pair, who are 29 and 24, documented their time together in nearby Los Angeles.

On Instagram, they shared a video of their 'day out' at Walmart and posted about a sleepover they had on the same night as the wedding. 

In one post, Noah said Braison, who lives in Tennessee near his father, "flew here to see me!!"

If there was any doubt this was pointed, Noah did all this in a t-shirt featuring her dad's face.

In what could be a subtle response, Trace uploaded a childhood photo featuring his mother and him with only two of his siblings; Brandi and Miley.

It wasn't the first indication of anything being wrong either.

Miley unfollowed her dad on Instagram (and he then responded in kind) in 2022, months after his divorce from Tish was publicised. And while we're watching Instagram follows, Noah, the youngest, and Brandi, the eldest, do not follow each other either. Brandi and Trace also don't follow youngest brother Braison.

Following her wedding, Tish liked a tweet that featured lyrics from an unleased Miley song, which said: "It's just that my dad didn't always know how to say that he's proud of who I am."

Messy, huh?
