Miley Cyrus' night is off to a good start.

On Sunday, Feb. 2, the “Flowers” songstress made her first public appearance at the Grammy Awards since her brotherTraceexpressed concern over their fatherBilly Ray Cyrus. Miley, 32, brought her mom, Tish Cyrus, and boyfriend Maxx Morando to the show.

Soon after she arrived at the awards show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Miley learned that she andBeyoncéwon a Grammy for theirCowboy Cartercollaboration “II Most Wanted.” They won in the country duo/group performance category.

The “Angels Like You” singer — who won her first Grammy at last year’s show — earned a Grammy in the country category before her dad did.

Miley’s appearance comes after Trace penned an emotional letter to his dad onInstagramon Jan. 22 and wrote that after years of wanting to be like him, he can “barely recognize him now.”

The letter came after fans expressed concern over his chaotic performance at The Liberty Ball during PresidentDonald Trump’s inaugural celebrations.

“You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it,” Trace wrote. “As I write this with tears in my eyes I hope you realize this message only comes from a place of love and also fear that the world may lose you far too soon.”

“I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help,” he continued. “You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you.”
