Hannah Montana fans could get a special announcement soon. Miley Cyrus wants to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana and teases something special. The Disney Channel show premiered on March 24, 2006.
In a recent interview on Sirius XM’s TikTok Radio, Cyrus reflected on the show’s impact on her career. Cyrus played Hannah Montana for four seasons from 2006 to 2011. The show followed a girl who doubled as both an average teenager and a pop star, trying to keep her identity a secret.

“I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today,” Cyrus told host Chris Olsen of the show’s upcoming anniversary. “Without Hannah, there really wouldn’t be this kind of… this me. It’s so crazy to think, too, that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed. And now that’s something that when I walk into a space, it’s looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood, but I’ve now been kind of integrated into everyone’s life as the character itself. So that’s exciting to get to celebrate that,”
The role launched Cyrus’ career into stardom as a successful singer and actress. Cyrus has two #1 Billboard hits with “Wrecking Ball” and “Flowers. She has multiple Grammy Awards for record of the year and best pop solo performance with her song “Flowers.” She also became the youngest person ever to be named a Disney Legend. Cyrus also starred in multiple films like “The Last Song,” “LOL,” and “So Undercover.”
“A little bit of everything has changed since that day, but at the same time, nothing has changed at all,” Cyrus said in her Disney Legend honor speech. “I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana because she made Miley in so many ways.”
