Miley Cyrus is officially a star—literally! The pop sensation and former Disney darling was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a dazzling ceremony that had everyone talking. On May 22, the “Hannah Montana” icon graced the stage in Los Angeles, beaming with joy as she accepted this prestigious accolade.
In a speech that was as heartfelt as it was inspiring, Cyrus reflected on her journey and the significance of the moment. “This is a moment I will never forget,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. She also took the opportunity to discuss her upcoming song, “Walk of Fame,” from her highly anticipated album, “Something Beautiful,” which features the incredible Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes fame. Talk about a power collaboration!
But it wasn’t just about the music. Cyrus shared a poignant message about life and legacy, stating, “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.” Can we get an amen for that?
She continued, “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.” Such wisdom from a star who knows the industry inside and out!
With her family by her side, including her mom Tish and sister Brandi, Cyrus expressed her gratitude, saying, “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.” Talk about leaving a legacy!
During the ceremony, actress Anya Taylor Joy and fashion icon Donatella Versace took the stage to pay tribute to Cyrus. Joy reminisced about the first time she saw Cyrus on the cover of J-14 Magazine, declaring, “I knew this and her were going to be huge.” Versace, who dressed Cyrus for the occasion, added, “A star is what you are. You shine with strength, commitment and love.” Can we say #Goals?
Cyrus closed her speech with a reminder to her fans: “After today, I commit to continuing the cycle full of creation, because that is what I truly live for.” With a star on the Walk of Fame, we can only imagine the heights she will reach next. So, if you’re ever in Hollywood, make sure to stop by and pay homage to this fierce queen—just remember to step over her star with attitude!
