Miley Cyrus in character as Miley Cyrus in 2006

Type Miley Cyrus’ name into X or TikTok right now, and you might stumble upon a surprising amount of Hannah Montana content.

Of course, long before Miley was the boundary-pushing, Grammy-winning pop icon we know her as today, she made her debut as a child star in Hannah Montana, which quickly became one of the Disney Channel’s most popular original series of all time.

However, given that Hannah Montana has now been off our screens for more than a decade, you might be a little confused as to why fans of the Midnight Sky singer are currently talking about it again.

Well, here’s your quick guide to why the hit Disney show is suddenly back in the zeitgeist for Smilers…

What’s going on with Miley Cyrus fans and Hannah Montana?

The rumour mill seemingly first went into overdrive last week, when Miley – who is still promoting her recent album Something Beautiful – sat down with SiriusXM for an extensive interview.

During the conversation, the singer herself pointed out that 2026 will mark 20 years since she first made her screen debut as Miley Stewart, the secret identity of her popstar alter-ego, Hannah Montana.

“It’s about to be the 20-year Hannahversary in March,” she enthused, adding, “I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today. Without Hannah, there wouldn’t be this me.”

Naturally, in the days since, Miley devotees have been wildly speculating about what this could entail – with one popular theory on social media being a full-scale Hannah Montana tour.

How likely is a Hannah Montana tour?

Miley first toured as Hannah Montana back in 2007, on the 71-date Best Of Both Worlds tour, and the thought of her bringing the character back on the road is a prospect fans are evidently pretty excited about…
