Billy Ray Cyrus will host Nashville Star 6, which is currently casting

When Nashville Star moves to NBC for its sixth season this summer, it will again have a new host, and that person is Billy Ray Cyrus.

He announced that on The Tonight Show last night, and said some ambiguous and incomprehensible things about the new season. “This year it is all about the dream, about the music, about persistence and never giving up faith. Putting the music first. You know I’ve been to the fair and I’ve seen the bear and I am really excited,” he said, according to an NBC press release.

The show is currently casting, and will hold open calls in Los Angeles on March 8, Washington, DC, on March 14, Austin on March 18, Nashville on March 21.

about reality blurred

I’m Andy Dehnart, a writer who obsessively and critically covers reality TV, focusing on how it’s made and what it means.

I created reality blurred 20 years ago as a place to collect interesting links I found. Today, I review and recommend reality shows, documentaries, and nonfiction entertainment; analyze news and report from behind the scenes; and interview people who create and star in reality TV shows. You'll also find other people's insightful takes on reality TV in these pages, too.

I believe pop culture can both entertain and affect us, and so reality blurred's goal is to amplify the best and hold the worst accountable. In other words, I’m here to call it out when it sucks and celebrate it when it’s amazing. Let’s talk about it together!
