Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana
Miley Cyrus considers celebrating the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana with special projects or events.

Fans of the Disney classic are about to get a dose of nostalgia, as Miley Cyrus hints at plans to mark the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana. With her recent comments, it seems a special celebration could be on the horizon, but whether it involves a full tour remains uncertain.

Hannah Montana first aired on 24 March 2006, becoming a defining part of many childhoods. Miley Cyrus, who portrayed the titular character, recently teased via an interview that a major milestone is approaching. She mentioned, 'It's about to be the 20-year Hannahversary in March,' and expressed her intention to create something meaningful for the occasion. She added that her journey as Hannah Montana was foundational to her current career, stating that without the character, 'there really wouldn't be this... me.'

This renewed focus on the show's anniversary has sparked curiosity among fans, many eager to see how Miley plans to honour the show's legacy. Given her status as a global star, any project linked to Hannah Montana would likely draw significant attention.

Will There Be a Tour?

The last time Miley Cyrus toured as Hannah Montana was during the Best of Both Worlds Tour in late 2007 and early 2008, when she was just 15. Since then, her stance on touring has evolved. In 2023, she told British Vogue that singing in front of massive crowds can feel isolating, citing a lack of personal connection.

She explained, 'There's no safety. It's also not natural. It's so isolating because if you're in front of 100,000 people, then you are alone.'

Further, Miley revealed that her vocal health has impacted her touring plans. She has a polyp on her vocal cords, which she described as a part of her unique tone but also a challenge. She said, 'It's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on,' and expressed hesitation about surgery that might change her voice.

Given these factors, a traditional concert tour for Hannah Montana seems unlikely at this point. She has openly discussed her discomfort with large-scale performances and her health concerns, making the idea of a full tour less feasible.

Possible Alternatives for the 20th Anniversary

Although a tour appears improbable, Miley has indicated she can perform her Hannah Montana songs legally once again, now that she's a Disney Legend. She shared on The Ringer podcast that she was previously not permitted to perform those tracks after the show ended in 2011. With the permission, she might bring her favourite Hannah hits into her live sets or special projects.

Additionally, Miley's ongoing relationship with Disney+ opens the door to other celebrations. She has released her visual album, Something Beautiful, and her Backyard Sessions special on the platform, which has become a hub for her creative output. Fans are speculating that a 20th anniversary special or a reunion episode with the original cast could be in development.

Some suggest a 'Hannah Montana Eras Tour', Taylor Swift-style, filmed and shown in cinemas, could serve as a nostalgic alternative to a live concert. Others hope Miley might produce a dedicated documentary or a special performance that honours the show's legacy without the physical demands of touring. The idea of a reunion episode or a series of remembrances is also gaining traction among fans eager for a celebration that fits Miley's current approach to performing.

What's Next?

At present, neither Miley Cyrus nor Disney has confirmed any official plans for a 20th anniversary tour or special. The singer's comments suggest that while she is open to celebrating the show's legacy in some form, a traditional tour may not be part of her plans. Instead, fans can expect creative projects, virtual events, or televised specials that mark the milestone.
