Is Miley Cyrus making a reference to her past relationship with Patrick Schwarzenegger?
The Grammy-winning superstar, 32, premiered the accompanying film for her new Something Beautiful album at Tribeca Festival in New York City on June 6, and in one scene from the project she lays on Patrick’s father Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
The moment aptly occurs during the clip for Cyrus’ album track “Walk of Fame,” a collaboration with Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes featuring lyrics about the experience of being famous and how it takes over one’s life.
“Ooh, yeah, it’s a walk of fame / And through the tears, I can see it so clear / Walk away, walk away,” sings the Hannah Montana alum on the track’s chorus.
In the “Walk of Fame” visual, Cyrus struts down the actual Hollywood Walk of Fame and prominently lays down on Arnold’s star — a decade after she dated Patrick from November 2014 to April 2015.
The “Flowers” singer, who’s now been dating boyfriend Maxx Morando since late 2021, fully committed to her vision for the “Walk of Fame” music video — and ultimately wound up in the ICU as a result.

In a recent Jimmy Kimmel Live! interview, Cyrus spoke about filming the clip in the middle of the night to no one else would be on the sidewalks, as they didn’t have the budget to officially reserve the space.
At one point, however, she “caught something” — seemingly from the sidewalk. She reflected on feeling “lucky” to not have needed to get a “hypodermic needle” in her body. “Because I filmed this video in October, and by November on Thanksgiving, I was put in ICU,” she said.

Cyrus stressed that her tenure in the intensive care unit was “just for a moment” since the less-serious emergency room was full of Thanksgiving-related visitors.
“My leg began to disintegrate … around the kneecap area,” she detailed of the infection. “And then the doctor goes, ‘Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?'”

“I had to tell him,” continued Cyrus. “To have a surgeon look at you and say, ‘Yuck…’ They open up cadavers. They see inside the guts of humans, and they’re looking at me, telling me I’m disgusting. And they do brain operations!”
