Miley Cyrus has added another major milestone to her career, this time in the form of a permanent mark on Hollywood Boulevard. The singer and actor was officially honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame in the Recording category, drawing a crowd that included family, friends, and notable names from entertainment and fashion.
The ceremony comes at a particularly symbolic moment in her journey, arriving shortly after the 20th anniversary celebrations of Hannah Montana, the Disney series that first turned her into a global teen icon. The event saw appearances from actress Anya Taylor-Joy and designer Donatella Versace, who joined in celebrating Cyrus as she received one of Hollywood’s most recognisable honours.
For the occasion, Cyrus opted for a sleek black gown and took to the stage to reflect on her artistic journey, including her 2025 track “Walk of Fame” from the album Something Beautiful. During her address, she also referenced singer Brittany Howard’s rendition of the lyric, “You’ll live forever.”
Sharing her thoughts on fame, time, and artistic urgency, Cyrus said, “Although I love the lyric, the fact I won’t [live forever] is what creates the urgency that sets my heart on fire, my life and my art, and my desire to break down the walls of any boxes that we’ve been tricked to believe that exist.”
She also recalled advice from her father, country musician Billy Ray Cyrus, linking it to both her career and the symbolism of the Walk of Fame itself. As reported by ABC, she said, “My dad used to say that a skyscraper starts with a jackhammer – so does a star on the Walk of Fame by the way – and it’s not about the force, but it’s about the repetition.
What feels so special to me about this star is that it’s an accumulation of devotion.”
Expanding further on what the honour represents to her, Cyrus highlighted that the star is not a traditional achievement marker but something more enduring and layered. She said, “The star isn’t something that you win like a seasonal game. It’s not something that you can chase or collect. It’s not something you make the next record for, and then tote it around like a trophy.”
She added, “After today, I commit to continuing the cycle full of creation, because that is what I truly live for. My hope is what I leave behind continues to affect the hearts of generations to come, ones that I won’t be here to experience. I hope it awakens something raw and imperfect and sexy and glamorous and joyful in times that need it.”
The moment was also a family affair, with Cyrus acknowledging her supporters from both sides of her personal life. She thanked her mother Tish Cyrus, sister Brandi Cyrus, and also mentioned her fiancé Maxx Morando, who attended the ceremony with his parents.
Speaking about the honour, Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies, said, “The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome singer Miley Cyrus to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” adding, “Miley deserves her flowers as she has made a lasting impact on the entertainment industry, and we are thrilled to honor her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Generations of young girls have grown up watching her evolve, finding inspiration in her journey and fearless creativity,” Martinez added.
