Blake Shelton recalls Billy Ray Cyrus giving him a tough love pep talk before he made his first TV appearance more than 20 years ago. The "God’s Country" singer said he was "scared to death" in 2001 when he was asked by CMA Awards organizers if he would appear on the show and do a commercial bumper in which he'd tease who was coming up and sing about 20 seconds of his song "Austin." Shelton told Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday that while he stood in the wings, Cyrus exited the stage after presenting an award, introduced himself and asked Shelton if he was all right. "And I go, ’Man, I’m scared to death.
I’m scared to death right now to walk out there,'" Shelton recalled. "And he goes, ‘What do you mean?’ And I go, ‘I’ve just never been on TV, and I’ve got to sing.'" ’ The 47-year-old said Cyrus, 62, told him, "Even if you do great, this is the music industry. Most of those people are gonna make fun of you and roll their eyes anyway, man.
This is the music industry.
You need to toughen up a little bit. Man, people make fun of you." "I remember that was his pep talk to me," Shelton said. "That was his pep talk?" Kimmel laughed.
Shelton added, "He probably doesn’t remember that, but I’m telling you, as a young 23-year-old kid or whatever I was, I was like, ‘Oh my god, you’re right.'" Kimmel joked that Cyrus might be right, especially if an artist has a mullet and adds the words "Achy and Breaky in the title of your song. Yes, people are going to make fun of you." "Billy had had a rough stretch at that point," Shelton jokingly agreed. Shelton, who was a coach on "The Voice" for 23 seasons, kidded that he will give impromptu advice to another performer if "I think they're going to do really good.

So the good news is that the half year double strike that ground Hollywood to a halt is over. The bad news is Billy Ray has just about come to the end of the road on Deadline Strike Talk, which to our mind has been superb and a light in the darkness. He will do one more episode or two to wrap up the lessons we hopefully learned from this labor discord, and then we will beg him to keep a podcast presence with Deadline. In sober and intelligent tones, and with a superb roster of guests, he has helped create an understanding of the intricacies, forces and history that went into the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The hope is he, and his initial co-pilot Todd Garner, will want to continue together or separately an inside baseball dialogue with the industry that Deadline serves. That is a conversation for another day. Here, Billy Ray discusses the settlement that puts the industry back to work. And he is joined by California State Senators Anthony Portantino and Dave Min to discuss the role of state government in supporting the labor movement.
