Miley Cyrus Shares Exciting Plans for Hannah Montana’s 20th Anniversary
Miley Cyrus is preparing for the upcoming 20th anniversary of "Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret," the inaugural episode of Hannah Montana, which debuted on March 24, 2006. In this nostalgic episode, Miley Stewart’s best friend, Lilly, gets her hands on tickets to see a top pop star, unaware that the sensation she admires has been performing in disguise for the last two years. Nearly 20 years later, Cyrus still has some surprises up her sleeve regarding the anniversary celebration.
Plans for a Special Celebration
“I want to create something truly special for it because it was the start of everything that has shaped who I am today,” Cyrus mentioned recently during an interview on SiriusXM’s TikTok Radio. She recognizes that without Hannah Montana, the artist we know today might not have come into existence.
Fan Excitement and Speculation
Cyrus’s fans are buzzing with enthusiasm about the anniversary. Some fan accounts have even circulated photoshopped emails, claiming to feature invitations for a collaboration with Spotify and Apple Music. These efforts seem aimed at boosting streams for her latest album, Something Beautiful. Despite the growing excitement, Cyrus has made it clear that she currently has no intention of touring, which suggests that a performance is unlikely.
Embracing Nostalgia
For Cyrus, revisiting Hannah Montana is about celebrating a chapter of her life that she once considered leaving behind. “It’s surreal to think that I started as a character I believed I would never fully escape. Now, it represents nostalgia for many and has become a part of everyone’s upbringing,” she shared, reflecting on the show’s impact and her own growth.
A Heartfelt Tribute
In a heartfelt Instagram post commemorating the show’s 10th anniversary in 2016, Cyrus expressed her appreciation for the journey. “To the world, it’s a celebration of 10 years, but for us, the journey began far earlier. Even if I feel disconnected from that time, I remain forever grateful for the opportunities given to me,” she wrote. She also humorously noted that although parts of Hannah Montana may no longer feel relevant, the show will always have a special place in her heart.
