Miley Cyrus: Hannah Montana's Magic From Within

Miley Cyrus will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 22, 2026. This recognition follows a 20th-anniversary special for "Hannah Montana," where Cyrus reprised her role and reunited with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. The special prompted reflections on the Disney Channel show's impact.

In interviews surrounding the special, Cyrus discussed navigating her early fame and the possibility of a future Super Bowl halftime show performance. She expressed a desire to perform covers, citing George Michael's "Father Figure" as a song she wishes she had written.

Cyrus shared wisdom for her past self, encouraging her younger iteration to "be present enough to remember" and to slow down. She also reflected on the persona of Hannah Montana, advising the character to recognize that her magic was innate, stemming from Miley Stewart's core identity rather than external elements like wigs and costumes.
