Billy Ray Cyrus is feeling the rage of destructive weather sweeping through Tennessee.
The singer, 63, took to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, May 20, to share footage of rain and hail coming down across his Nashville home.
“Look at that, oh my gosh,” Cyrus said from behind the camera as he panned across an outdoor space on his property. “Showing some hail falling from the sky. It is a tornado, oh my goodness.”
The video also captured fallen leaves and shaking branches due to the intensity of wind gusts which resulted in multiple tornadoes rolling across Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio Valleys on the eighth consecutive day of severe weather, per Fox Weather.
Per the outlet, widespread tornado warnings were issued that day.
Cyrus’ video arrived as a stark comparison to the idyllic backdrop that has played home to the musician’s budding romance with Elizabeth Hurley. Less than one month prior, Hurley, 59, shared a video of herself and Cyrus riding an off-road vehicle together across Cyrus’ $5 million Nashville farm.
A source told Us Weekly exclusively as part of a recent cover story that the pair “are enjoying life together and wanted to make it public.” (Hurley and Cyrus hard launched the romance via a joint Instagram post on April 20 that showed Cyrus planting a kiss on Hurley’s cheek as they cuddled against a wooden fence.)
Cyrus even shared a photo of the Us cover via Instagram on Sunday, May 18, captioning the snap, “Saw this at Target 😍” and captioning Hurley on the shot of the magazine.
Asked on April 24 whether the relationship was genuine, Cyrus said on Apple Music Country’s The Ty Bentli Show, “She’s a great human being. If all we ever were [was] the friends that we are… I would take that.” He continued: “She’s so impressively brilliant.”
Cyrus also delved into details on how the pair got to know one another. “We did a film two years ago down in the Caribbean and we did very few scenes together, but the couple times we were in the same scene,” Cyrus recalled, referring to 2022’s Christmas in Paradise. “There was a chemistry there that [I] felt. We just laughed, and it was at a time [when] I wasn’t laughing a lot and I found out the oddest thing.”
The couple, however, lost touch once filming wrapped.
“Then two more years of life went by, and it was this evolution that some might’ve looked at and certainly I felt like, ‘Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher for me?’” Cyrus explained. “At a certain point it was like, ‘You can’t get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you in the gut.”
