Miley Cyrus gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star in Los Angeles

Miley Cyrus received the 2,845th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday in a Recording category ceremony that turned her career arc into a public monument. The star was placed at 7011 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, with Ellen K serving as emcee and guest speakers Anya Taylor-Joy and Donatella Versace helping frame the event as both a celebration and a marker of lasting cultural reach.

The honor carried special weight because Cyrus is not just another pop performer being added to the sidewalk. She first became a household name through Hannah Montana on Disney Channel, then rebuilt her image into one of the most durable brands in modern pop music. That reinvention, from child star to adult recording artist, is exactly what the Walk of Fame has long rewarded: visibility, longevity and a public identity that survives more than one era of fame.

Cyrus used the ceremony to reflect on the meaning of the moment, describing it as one she would never forget. The recognition also brought her recent music back into focus, including Walk of Fame, a track from her 2025 album Something Beautiful. Brittany Howard co-wrote the song and contributed vocals and guitar, linking Cyrus’ current work to a broader range of contemporary music talent rather than nostalgia alone.

The Walk of Fame placement reinforced how Cyrus now occupies two lanes at once. Older audiences remember the Disney years and the early pop crossover. Younger listeners know her as the voice behind songs such as The Climb, Party in the U.S.A. and Flowers, records that helped turn her into a mainstream music presence long after her teen-star origins faded from view. The ceremony made clear that her career has not simply endured. It has repeatedly changed shape without losing relevance.

Her star was announced on July 2, 2025, as part of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2026. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said that class included 35 honorees selected from hundreds of nominees, a reminder that the sidewalk remains selective even as it continues expanding its roster. For Cyrus, that selection placed her among a broad field that included Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, Shaquille O’Neal, Josh Groban, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and Rami Malek.

The ceremony was streamed live exclusively on walkoffame.com, extending the event beyond Hollywood Boulevard and into the same digital pop culture ecosystem that has helped Cyrus stay visible across generations. In that sense, the star was less a farewell to one chapter than formal recognition that Miley Cyrus has already outlasted the role that first made her famous.
