Mardee went to one of Miley’s Bangerz tour dates in Los Angeles with her sister in 2014, she caught Billy Ray Cyrus’ eye, leaving him flabbergasted at her resemblance to his daughter.

“He saw me and waved me past his security and let my sister and I take a photo with him,” Mardee said. “He actually was literally in tears and I don’t know why. I think he was maybe just overwhelmed. He just told me, ‘You look so much like Miley’ and said it was a great compliment. I didn’t keep my cool at all, I was definitely fangirling.”
