Miley Cyrus Recreates Her Iconic Disney Channel Intro Ahead of Hannah Montana Special
Miley Cyrus has recreated her Disney Channel intro in light of the forthcoming Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special.
Cyrus, 33, shared a new video in which she recreates an ad that used to appear on the Disney Channel in which she says, “I’m Miley Cyrus from Hannah Montana, and you’re watching Disney Channel.”
The classic Disney Channel series that made Cyrus a global superstar is turning 20, and Disney+ is commemorating the occasion with a new special.
The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special airs Tuesday, Mar. 24 and offers a look back at the series with “never-before-seen archival footage,” an interview with Cyrus and Call Her Daddy‘s Alex Cooper, and much more.

A trailer for the special shows Cyrus wearing the character;s iconic blonde wig and walking on to recreated sets of the show, which revolved around teenager Miley Stewart, who lived a secret double life as pop star Hannah Montana.
“Already getting emotional,” Cyrus says as she can be seen walking through the halls of Stewart’s Seaview High School.
In the trailer, Cyrus — dressed as Montana — can also be seen dancing with her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus (who played her father, Robby Ray Stewart, in the show) and looking at photo albums alongside her mom, Tish Cyrus.
In her conversation with Variety, Cyrus confirmed that the celebration would include an appearance from Selena Gomez, crediting Cooper with encouraging her to include her old friend.
Cyrus also opened up about returning to Hannah Montana’s catalog, including singing “Best of Both Worlds” for the first time since 2008, sharing that it only took three rehearsals to feel it coming back to her.
“It was literally a bike. The dancers were doing stuff, and I’m like, ‘That’s not original!’ ” she laughed. “And they’re like, ‘Well, we’re trying to make it modern.’ I’m like, ‘It ain’t broke — don’t fix it!’ “
