A large crowd of fans came in like a “Wrecking Ball” to celebrate the singer’s career, belting out her hits before the ceremony began.
Cyrus’ star, number 2,845, is in the recording category. Among her hits over the years: “The Climb,” “Flowers,” “Party in the U.S.A.,” and her more recent song featuring Brittany Howard, “Walk of Fame.”
During the ceremony, Cyrus reflected on the significance of the honor.
“What feels so special to me about this star is that it’s an accumulation of devotion,” she said. “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. My name is laid in gold and pink terrazzo.”
The remarks were met with cheers from the crowd.
Fans in attendance spoke about the impact Cyrus has had on their lives.
Rose Angelica said, “She helped me through some really difficult times in life when I thought I was nothing and I felt, like, worthless. She really, really did help me.”
Another fan, Alex Estrada, highlighted her cultural influence, “We love Miley. We love ‘Hannah Montana.’ We love the music. She’s a huge part of the culture. She’s a generational icon.”

Majo Juarez described the experience of seeing Cyrus in person as unforgettable, “I get to see her with my eyes right in front of me and that’s going to stay with me forever.”
Speakers at the ceremony included actress Anya Taylor-Joy, who praised Cyrus’ influence.
“We’re celebrating a woman who taught an entire generation how to own their own story,” she said.
Fashion designer Donatella Versace also spoke in honor of Cyrus.
It may not be as fashionable as Versace but Cyrus’ star is in front of the now-closed Marshall’s on Hollywood Boulevard.
