Cyrus and Lil Nas X’s relationship can be traced back to 2019 when Lil Nas X collaborated with Cyrus’ dad, country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus, on the first of many “Old Town Road” remixes. The country/rap fusion went viral and helped catapult the song to the level of mega-success it eventually reached. Cyrus opened up about the duet in a 2019 interview with Elle. “That record is the best of both worlds in the way that you get a song that just sounds amazing on the radio — it’s glue, it brings people together,” she said.
And it just might have helped bring the Cyrus and Lil Nas X together.

The latter leads to questions about an eventual collaboration. Luckily for fans, it appears the pair are at least considering the possibility. According to the Lil Nas X, one thing stopped that from happening in 2020. “I had plans to work on this one song with Miley earlier last year, and then the pandemic happened,” he told Andy Cohen in January 2021. Hopefully, the two are able to get in the studio sometime soon and make the collab happen!
