August 25 has repeatedly marked major moments in Miley Cyrus\u2019 life, both personally and professionally. In 2010, news broke that Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth had ended their relationship, while August 25, 2013 became one of the most important days of her career: the audio for \u201cWrecking Ball\u201d was released and her controversial MTV Video Music Awards performance with Robin Thicke became a worldwide talking point. The date is also the birthday of her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Cyrus herself acknowledged the date\u2019s importance when she deliberately released the reflective song \u201cUsed to Be Young\u201d on August 25, 2023, explaining that the date had historically been meaningful in both her personal life and career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three years later, August 25 took on another emotional meaning when Dolly Parton\u2019s family announced the country legend\u2019s passing. Parton had been Miley\u2019s godmother and maintained a close relationship with the Cyrus family for decades, making the date even more significant. Tributes quickly arrived from political leaders, entertainers, and longtime friends, while Parton\u2019s philanthropic work\u2014including the Imagination Library, which has distributed more than 200 million books\u2014was remembered alongside her music. Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, and former presidents were among those honoring her, while Billy Ray Cyrus revealed that one of Parton\u2019s recent messages told him she loved him \u201cwith her whole heart.\u201d For Miley, August 25 now connects a breakup, a career-changing performance, major songs, her father\u2019s birthday, and the loss of one of the most important figures in her life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
