Miley Cyrus was honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce today. This special event celebrates Miley’s cultural influence as a recording artist, fashion icon, and philanthropist. Miley Cyrus, founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, donated millions of dollars to support homeless LGBTQ+ youth. Cyrus also founded the Miley Cyrus Foundation, empowering mothers in their diverse backgrounds. During this ceremony, Cyrus thanked Anya Taylor-Joy, Donatella Versace, her fans, and her family. She also expressed her strong passion for making substantial music while empowering the next generation.
Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer, says: “Miley deserves her flowers as she has made a lasting impact on the entertainment industry, and we are thrilled to honor her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Generations of young girls have grown up watching her evolve, finding inspiration in her journey and fearless creativity.”
One of the guest speakers, Donatella Versace praised Miley as a fearless and hardworking star who spreads kindness. She voiced that Miley Cyrus not only champions gender equality but also self-respect and human rights. She describes Cyrus as an icon and role model who uplifts others through her music and style. Lastly, Versace celebrated Cyrus’ strength, intellect, beauty, and positive influence on multi-generational fans. Anya Taylor-Joy also expressed her admiration for Cyrus as a trailblazer.
Anya Taylor-Joy recalls when she listened to Miley Cyrus’s music for the first time: “I was 10 years old, recently back from a vacation in Florida with my parents and clutching my prized J-14 tween magazine to my chest. On the back, a beautiful girl wearing a wig that would become the blueprint for every pop star’s hair since then, held her finger to her lips… I knew that this and her were going to be HUGE…”
Since her debut on Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus has reinvented her image by showcasing her artistry across pop, country, and rock. Miley Cyrus has received 23 RIAA platinum certifications for her singles, like “Party in the USA” (16x platinum), “Wrecking Ball” (9x platinum), and “Flowers” (7x platinum). Cyrus’ “Flowers” was named the Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards. In 2025, Cyrus’ collaboration with Beyoncé received a GRAMMY for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, showing her effortless versatility.
Ellen K praised Miley’s achievements: “You’re a rare artist… continually shaping pop genres while moving between all of the genres—pop, rock, country, soul, alternative… A three-time Golden Globe nominee for best original song, Miley is also celebrated as a songwriter behind numerous platinum and diamond-certified singles and albums.”
Ellen K, iHeartMedia personality, announced that Cyrus’ Walk of Fame star is in the Recording category. Before inviting Cyrus onstage, Ellen K acknowledged Miley Cyrus’ rare artistry and named a list of her RIAA-certified hit singles like “Party in the USA”, “The Climb”, “Malibu”, “Like You”, “The Climb”, and “Younger You”. In addition, Cyrus appeared as the face of campaigns for major fashion brands like Maison Margiela, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana. To celebrate the launch of Gucci’s Flora fragrance, Cyrus performed a special version of her ‘Flowers’ single at L.A.’s iconic Chateau Marmont. Miley’s image across fashion, film, and music is intentionally crafted to embody her fierce and creative voice as a recording artist.
Miley Cyrus expressed: “My name is laid in gold and pink terrazzo, and it’s fierce, and it’s fun, and it’s fabulous. And I’m in Versace handpicked from the Atelier archives by Donna herself, which makes it even more fun, and even more fierce, and even more fabulous.”
During Cyrus’ speech, she mentioned that one of her latest songs is called “Walk of Fame”. The video for this 2025 single shows tension between the glamorous and unglamorous aspects of performativity, from Cyrus’ walk to the choreography reflecting her hard work as an artist. Cyrus reflected on her experience of working with co-writer and friend Britney Howard.
Miley Cyrus voices: “On my latest album, there’s a song titled Walk of Fame, which I wrote way before this precious moment. But my co-writer and my dear friend Britney Howard, she closes the track with a poem. And it ends with this mantra, you’ll live forever. And she sings it as if 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, 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.”
Miley Cyrus’ Walk of Fame star is located at 7011 Hollywood Blvd., near Madame Tussauds Hollywood. Cyrus’ mother, Tish, and late grandmother, Loretta, inspired her to give back to her community and uplift others around the world. With over 60M+ Spotify followers, Cyrus’ Walk of Fame star embodies empowerment as a reflection of her timeless brand.
