Miley Cyrus' 2007 hit song "See You Again," released on the album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, was inspired by her close childhood friend, Lesley Patterson Edmonds.
Cyrus confirmed in a March 2026 interview that Edmonds is still her best friend. She recalled that a primary reason she initially hesitated to accept the role of Hannah Montana was the fear of leaving Edmonds behind.

In 2017, Edmonds attended the Nashville release party for Cyrus' album Younger Now, expressing immense pride in her friend's accomplishments. Edmonds' social media presence highlights her family life and professional endeavors.
