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 shared the caption alongside a clip from “Walk of Fame.” The duet features Brittany Howard, while the video for the track is shot on the star-studded Los Angeles sidewalks.
A Rolling Stone review of her new LP praised the ambitious offering. “All over the album, Miley sings about keeping her chin up and looking on the positive side, even in times of trouble,” wrote writer Rob Sheffield. “Something Beautifulis another bold swerve in one of pop’s most delightfully unpredictable careers.”
