Pop sensation Miley Cyrus officially became the 2,845th star recipient on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Friday, cementing her place among entertainment’s biggest names. The ceremony, held on Hollywood Boulevard, honored the singer’s two-decade impact on music and popular culture in the Recording category.
Cyrus’s rise to stardom began in the early 2000s when she captured hearts as the titular character in Disney’s “Hannah Montana.” Since then, she’s transformed into a boundary-pushing artist with massive hits including “Wrecking Ball,” “Party in the U.S.A.,” and the Grammy-winning smash “Flowers.” Her latest album, “Something Beautiful,” has earned critical acclaim and further solidified her status as one of music’s most versatile performers.
The morning event brought together industry insiders, devoted fans, and media for a celebration that balanced glamour with genuine emotion. Wearing a shimmering pink outfit, Cyrus addressed the crowd with heartfelt thanks to her team, family, and supporters. “This star isn’t just for me—it’s for every kid who dreamed big on this very street,” she said, reflecting on childhood memories of walking Hollywood Boulevard alongside her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Billy Ray Cyrus, whose own Walk of Fame star sits blocks away, didn’t attend the ceremony, a reflection of the father-daughter relationship that has made headlines over the years. But there’s a silver lining: the two have recently reconciled. Billy Ray took to Instagram with a touching tribute, calling Miley’s achievement “a long way from Tennessee to Hollywood” and praising her “well-deserved” honor—a moment that suggests healing and mutual pride.
