Miley Cyrus Debuts Hannah Montana-Inspired Hair Transformation

Recently, Miley—who confirmed her engagement to fiancé Maxx Morando in December—opened up about the possibility of a reboot for the hit show, which premiered in March 2006.

“I don’t know if there is a new Hannah,” Miley admitted when asked about recasting the role for a reboot by Billboard in a Dec. 3 interview. “This is the only Hannah.”

Though she hasn’t revealed what a celebration of the show’s legacy would look like, she did share why it’s so important for there to be one at all.

“For me, I love looking back at the growth for both of us because it’s very rare that someone grows up with their fanbase,” she explained. “When I was 15 years old, I’d look out and see 15-year-olds and now I’m a grown woman, I look out and see other grown people. So, what I want to do is honor the longevity of the relationship that we built.”

Having earned a Disney Legend award last year for her iconic role, the LOL star emphasized how the double-life pop star was so much more than a TV show character.

“Hannah Montana, it outgrew the fantasy,” she continued. “It became the reality of my life. Something that was about a regular girl getting to have this extraordinary life by being someone that she’s not and then turning my life and having this life because of being who I really am and authenticity. So getting to celebrate that—20 years is a long time.”
