Miley Cyrus received a new Hollywood Walk of Fame star from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Friday in Los Angeles. Fans gathered in large numbers, singing her songs before the ceremony began. Her star, number 2,845, is in the recording category. Cyrus reflected on the meaning of the honor as an accumulation of devotion rather than something won, chased, or collected. She said the star represents her name laid in gold and pink terrazzo. Attendees described how her music helped them through difficult periods and how her work, including Hannah Montana and her songs, shaped culture and identity. The crowd cheered her remarks.
"“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.”"
"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.”"
"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.”"
