The event was a star-studded affair, with actress Anya Taylor-Joy and designer Donatella Versace offering heartfelt tributes to Cyrus. Taylor-Joy praised Cyrus for her fearless evolution, stating she has “never asked for permission to evolve,” and instead has done so “beautifully, unapologetically and always, always authentically.”
Versace, who dressed Cyrus for the momentous occasion, added, “A star is what you are. You shine with strength, commitment and love.”

As the 2,845th recipient of a star on the Walk of Fame, Cyrus delivered a speech that touched upon themes of legacy and artistic drive, referencing her 2025 song ‘Walk of Fame’, which contains the line: “You’ll live forever.”
“This star somehow represents immortality, and although I love the lyric, the fact that I won’t is what creates the urgency that sets my heart on fire,” she explained, adding, “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.”
She emphasized the continuous nature of artistic pursuit, stating, “A 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.”
Cyrus concluded her speech with a message of hope and gratitude: “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,” she added. “I hope it awakens something raw and imperfect and sexy and glamorous and joyful in times that need it.”
Addressing her fans directly, she said: “You are the stars that make my dream a reality every day for your love and support, and I thank you.”
She also expressed heartfelt appreciation for her family, friends, and collaborators, saying, “To my family, my future family, parents, my mom, my siblings, my friends, my collaborators, thank you for loving and supporting not only the choices that I make, but my fears, and then facing them with me—today is something that I’ll never forget and I’m always going to cherish. I love you all so much, thank you.”
Prior to the ceremony, Cyrus shared a touching childhood memory on Instagram, recalling late-night walks on Hollywood Boulevard with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
“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 when no one would recognize him,” she wrote. “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,” she continued. “This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible. I am grateful to share this star with you.”
Cyrus released her ninth studio album ‘Something Beautiful‘ last May – a record which NME hailed as “another pretty big swing” in a four-star review.
“‘Something Beautiful’ is sprawling and apparently unperturbed by contemporary chart trends,” we wrote. “While ‘Something Beautiful’ probably isn’t Cyrus’s most hit-packed album, it does feel like a fully realised artistic statement.”
The album included the track ‘Secrets‘, a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham. Cyrus went on to dedicate the track to her father Billy Ray Cyrus, saying: “This song was written as a peace offering for someone I had lost for a time but always loved. In my experience, forgiveness and freedom are one and the same”.
In other news, Cyrus has said she still has no “desire” to tour, and has proclaimed she was “the first person to maybe ever be cancelled”.
