\u2018\u201cHannah Montana\u2019 will always be a part of who I am. What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I\u2019ll always be thankful for that connection,\u201d Cyrus said in a statement. \u201cThe fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I\u2019m very proud of. This \u2018Hannahversary\u2019 is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who\u2019ve stood by me for 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cEnd of the World\u201d hitmaker hasn\u2019t shied away from honoring her onscreen alter ego. Cyrus\u2019s 20th anniversary announcement comes less than a week after she shared a throwback photo<\/a> of herself dressed as Hannah Montana, alongside the caption, \u201cGoing through the archives\u2026 so many memories \ud83d\udc96 xoMC.\u201d<\/p>\n Miley Cyrus on tour in December 2007.<\/p>\n (Kevin Mazur\/WireImage via Getty Images)<\/p>\n In an Instagram post from earlier this month, Cyrus also shared a split image<\/a> of herself at this year\u2019s Grammy Awards, wearing sunglasses, and as Hannah Montana back in the day, also wearing sunglasses. Cyrus remained mum about Hannah Montana anniversary plans in an interview with Variety last month, but teased<\/a>, \u201cYou see the bangs.\u201d<\/p>\n The 33-year-old singer knew she wanted to celebrate the milestone \u201cHannahversary,\u201d as she likes to call it. Last July, on SiriusXM<\/a>, she said she wanted to design \u201csomething really, really special\u201d for the occasion.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout Hannah, there really wouldn\u2019t be this me,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s so crazy to think too that I started as a character that I thought was gonna be impossible to shed, and \u2026 when I walk into a space, it\u2019s looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood. But now I\u2019ve been as integrated into everyone\u2019s life as the character itself.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Miley](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/gettyimages-147624126.jpg\"\/)
