In early June, Miley Cyrus released her Something Beautiful film, which features footage of the pop star rolling around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as a nod to Track 9 on the accompanying album, “Walk of Fame.”
Now, Cyrus is getting her very own star on the iconic Los Angeles stretch — a full-circle moment that she says is has been decades in the making. Taking to X on Wednesday (July 2), the singer-actress announced that she would be receiving her own tile on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, writing that she feels “honored” by the recognition.
“When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad [Billy Ray Cyrus] when no one would recognize him,” she gushed. “We’d have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise. To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream.”
“This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible,” Miley added. “I am grateful to share this star with you.”
The Hannah Montana alum’s addition to the Walk means that her name will appear alongside countless other legends on the strip, including Michael Jackson, Elton John, Carole King and more. The 2025 inductee class also includes Josh Groban, Demi Moore and Molly Ringwald, as announced Wednesday.
Miley’s honors come at a fitting time, considering the way she incorporated the Walk of Fame into her Something Beautiful visual album, which dropped May 30 and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. For the accompanying film, the musician shot scenes on the actual Hollywood Walk in the middle of the night, getting on her hands and knees on various celebrities’ stars and ultimately contracting a strange virus in around her knee.
“The doctor goes, ‘Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?’” she recalled of the experience to Jimmy Kimmel in May. “To have a surgeon look at you and say, ‘Yuck’ … Like, they open up cadavers, they see inside the guts of humans, and they’re looking at me telling me I’m disgusting.”
