Hollywood, CA – July 2025 — Pop icon Miley Cyrus has officially secured her place among entertainment royalty, with news that she will be receiving her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The announcement, which was met with overwhelming excitement from fans and fellow artists alike, prompted an emotional reflection from the 31-year-old singer and actress, who looked back on her early days in Los Angeles with her father, country legend Billy Ray Cyrus.
In a heartfelt message shared to her 250 million Instagram followers, Miley opened up about one of her earliest and most cherished memories of visiting Hollywood — long before the fame, the sold-out tours, or the boundary-pushing performances.
“I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him,” she wrote. “We were just two people walking the streets of a city that would one day change both our lives. I never dreamed I’d one day have a star of my own here.”
Miley recalled those quiet moments as sacred — a time when her father, who had skyrocketed to fame with his 1992 hit “Achy Breaky Heart”, was simply “Dad.” Their walks, often after late-night recording sessions or meetings, were filled with dreams, advice, and laughter. “He would tell me, ‘Hollywood is just a place. It’s the people that make the story matter.’ I never forgot that.”
From Disney Darling to Global Icon
Miley’s star will be placed in the Recording category, honoring her powerful contributions to the music industry, from her Disney Channel days as Hannah Montana to her genre-blending albums like Bangerz, Plastic Hearts, and Endless Summer Vacation. With over 20 billion streams worldwide, multiple Grammy nominations, and a fiercely loyal fanbase, her influence on pop culture is undeniable.
But beyond her accolades, Miley’s Walk of Fame honor also represents resilience. In her tribute post, she acknowledged the rollercoaster of growing up in the spotlight.
“There were times I wanted to disappear, moments I felt like I didn’t belong. But my dad always believed in me. Even when I didn’t know who I was, he reminded me that I came from love, from music, from purpose.”
A Complicated Bond
Miley’s relationship with Billy Ray has seen its ups and downs — especially in recent years, following his divorce from her mother, Tish Cyrus. The father-daughter duo had reportedly become estranged for a time, leading to public speculation and tabloid frenzy.
However, in a touching twist of fate, the Hollywood honor appears to have rekindled their connection. According to close sources, Billy Ray will be present at the ceremony, and is even expected to give a speech in Miley’s honor.
In her note, Miley addressed him directly:
“Dad, thank you for walking with me — back then, and now. You taught me how to stand tall, even when the world tried to bend me. This star is for both of us.”
Fans Celebrate the Moment
Across social media, #MileyWalkOfFame trended within minutes of the announcement, with fans praising her journey from child star to outspoken, fearless artist. Many shared photos of Miley through the years, noting how she’s consistently pushed boundaries while staying true to her roots.
“Miley Cyrus getting a star feels like the universe is finally catching up,” one fan wrote. “She’s earned every bit of it.”
Ceremony Details
The star-studded unveiling is set for August 14, 2025, and will take place outside the iconic Capitol Records building, a nod to Miley’s musical legacy. Among those expected to attend are long-time collaborators like Dolly Parton, godmother to Miley, and possibly Elton John, who praised her earlier this year as “one of the most daring voices in music today.”
As Miley Cyrus prepares to leave her permanent mark on Hollywood Boulevard, her words echo with gratitude and meaning:
“It’s funny — this sidewalk we walked on so many nights is now where my name will stay. And maybe someday, another little girl walking with her dad will step on that star and believe in her own story too.”
A full circle moment — not just for Miley, but for anyone who ever dared to dream in the glow of Hollywood’s lights.
