Miley Cyrus is ready to celebrate the milestone that launched her career, and she’s promising something fans won’t want to miss.
In a recent interview on SiriusXM, the 32-year-old singer and actress opened up about plans to mark the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, the Disney Channel show that catapulted her to stardom back in 2006. While she kept the details under wraps, Cyrus made it clear that something meaningful is in the works.
“I want to design something really, really special for it,” Miley shared. “Because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today. Without Hannah, there really wouldn’t be this kind of… this me.”
For fans, Hannah Montana wasn’t just a TV show; it was an emotion. The series followed Miley Stewart, an ordinary teenager who lived a double life as pop superstar Hannah Montana, and it quickly became one of the most beloved Disney Channel shows of all time.
Now, two decades later, Miley is reflecting on just how much that role shaped her identity. “I’ve now been as kind of integrated into everyone’s life as the character itself,” she said. “So that’s exciting to get to celebrate that.”
Since her Disney days, Miley has carved out a hugely successful music career, with hits like “Wrecking Ball,” “Party in the U.S.A.,” and “Flowers.” But it seems like she’s never forgotten her roots.
Over the years, she’s paid tribute to Hannah Montana in many unexpected ways. From donning the blonde wig to referencing the character in interviews and live performances, Hannah Montana lives in the hearts of fans and Miley Cyrus alike.
The upcoming 20th anniversary, expected in 2026, is yet another chance for Miley to reconnect with fans who grew up watching her juggle homework and headlining concerts on screen. While she didn’t specify if the celebration would take the form of a concert, documentary, or something entirely new, fans are already buzzing with excitement.
“I feel so lucky that I got to play that role, and I think the fans are going to love what we’re planning,” she added.
For now, fans will have to wait patiently, but one thing is certain: if anyone knows how to make a celebration unforgettable, it’s Miley Cyrus. And if it involves Hannah Montana, it’s sure to be something quite special.
