Billy Ray Cyrus has admitted he took his daughter Miley to get her nose pierced.

The country singer says he felt nervous for the Hannah Montana star but agreed to support her decision.

Billy Ray told chat show host Larry King: “She said, ‘daddy would you take me to get my nose pierced?’ I said, ‘did you ask your mamma?’ and she said, ‘mamma said I can do it if you would take me’.

“We went to a little place in studio city. I felt kind of nervous.”

As a devoted father, Billy Ray also admitted it’s hard to see his 16-year-old daughter getting into the dating game.

“You probably heard the song I wrote, Ready, Set, Don’t Go,” Billy Ray told King. “It’s about that moment in a daddy’s life that you realise your little girl has grown up. It’s time for her to make her own decisions.”
