We're all pumped for Sunday's VMAs, but Miley Cyrus' dad Billy Ray has a little somethin' extra to be excited about -- his bby girl's hosting the big show! The proud dad is even live-tweeting the night.

Papa Cyrus has been supportive of Miley throughout her career. Back in 2014, he texted her some ~wise~ advice, saying "You are one of the luckiest people in the whole world right now. ENJOY IT! Don't be like me and miss it all worrying about sh-t beyond control ALL the time." ???

We're stoked to watch both Cyruses kill it tomorrow evening -- one on stage, one on Twitter -- and here's an adorable throwback daddy/daughter pic from 1994 to get you excited, too.
