Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Los Angeles, March 24 (NationPress) Grammy-winning artist Miley Cyrus recently marked the occasion of the “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special” with a glamorous red carpet event. Before the festivities kicked off, she acknowledged that an interview played a pivotal role in sparking the idea for this nostalgic celebration of the beloved series.
“You initiated all of this,” Cyrus remarked to variety.com shortly upon her arrival.
“You triggered the buzz. I merely mentioned my bangs and blonde hair during our last meeting, and now look where we are,” she continued.
In a previous red carpet chat back in January at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Cyrus indicated she was diligently preparing for the “Hannah Montana” anniversary, yet did not confirm if the special was underway. Instead, she simply smiled and pointed to her bangs, as noted by variety.com.
While celebrating her iconic role for the anniversary, Cyrus expressed that she lacks the enthusiasm to contemplate a return of “Hannah Montana” to television.
“Honestly, I’m already exhausted,” Cyrus responded when queried about a potential “Hannah Montana” reboot. “This has been quite a journey.”
The show initially debuted in March 2006 on the Disney Channel and ran for four successful seasons before concluding in 2011. Cyrus played the character Miley Stewart, a teen leading a double life as the famous pop star Hannah Montana. Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, portrayed her on-screen dad.
The anniversary special, which aired on March 24, includes Cyrus performing some of the series’ most cherished songs, an interview with her conducted by “Call Me Daddy” host Alex Cooper, and a surprise visit from Selena Gomez, who guest-starred in Season 2 as Hannah's rival, Mikayla Skeech.
Cyrus began her solo career with her chart-topping pop rock albums Meet Miley Cyrus and Breakout. The hit single “Party in the U.S.A.” from her EP The Time of Our Lives achieved 16-times platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America.
She aimed for a more mature image with her dance-pop album Can’t Be Tamed and later shifted towards trap-pop and R&B with Bangerz, featuring hits like “We Can’t Stop” and her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one “Wrecking Ball”.
She explored various genres including psychedelic, country, and rock on later albums such as Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, Younger Now, and Plastic Hearts. Her second US number-one single “Flowers” earned her two Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year.
