The singer performed 'Achy Breaky Heart' and his hit collaboration with Lil Nas X, 'Old Town Road', despite technical difficulties.

At one point, he looked backstage for help, saying, "Check? Is anybody awake? Y'all want me to sing more, or you want me to just get the hell off the stage?"

"His voice has changed, and he's been really insecure about it," an insider told People. 

Despite the insecurity, Billy Ray Cyrus went ahead and put himself in a vulnerable situation. 

"[He was] going out and stepping out on stage with his voice, putting himself in a vulnerable situation and showing the world that his voice has changed," added the insider.

The following day, Billy Ray Cyrus shared his perspective on the performance.

"I wouldn’t have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar, and monitors worked or not. I was there because President Donald J Trump invited me." He added, "We had a blast. That’s called rock n roll!"

He added, "I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night and I’ve learned through all these years when the producer says, 'You’re on,' you go entertain the folks even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people and we had a blast. That’s called rock n roll!!!"

Billy Ray then doubled down on his performance again in an Instagram post on January 22, while keeping comments of the post disabled. 

"This was the most fun part of the Liberty Ball! And if you didn’t see it … you just had to be there. I just don’t think you understand," he captioned the video of him performing an a cappella rendition of 'Achy Breaky Heart.'
