'After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the 'Hannah Montana' music,' she explained. 'It's not like I wanted to, I mean, performing 'The Best Of Both Worlds' between 'We Can't Stop' and 'Wrecking Ball,' wouldn't have really made sense.'
'It was still sad knowing those songs have my voice, my face, and I wasn't allowed to sing them,' she added.
However, after Cyrus was named a Disney Legend at D23 2024, she was 'given permission to perform those songs in the future,' which Cyrus said was 'pretty cool.'
'Hannah Montana,' which followed a regular teen who lives a double life as the titular pop sensation, ran for 100 episodes from 2006-2011 on the Disney Channel. Other cast members included Emily Osment, Jason Earles, Billy Ray Cyrus, Mitchel Musso and Moises Arias.
The former child star's latest project is 'Something Beautiful,' a 55-minute visual album that hits theaters June 12. At the premiere, Cyrus paid tribute to all the female artists who inspired her work.
'I completely worship and idolize the Tina Turners, the Donna Summers, Diana Ross and so many ladies before me that paved this path that I'm on,' she said. 'This is my journey but they made it so much easier because they've already broken down all the doors for me.'

Vermont and Quebec cheesemakers win big at national awards
A cross-border celebration is underway as artisan cheesemakers from Vermont and Quebec earned top honors at the 2025 American Cheese Society Judging & Competition in Sacramento, California. The wins include Best of Show, multiple gold medals and several first-time placements, according to a community announcement. The results come just days after the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival and highlight a shared culture of craftsmanship, sustainable farming, and flavor innovation between the two regions. Many of the award-winning cheeses are available now through Provisions International, including Alfred le Fermier, Withersbrook Blue, Mad River Blue, Opa and Shelburne Farms' 1-Year Cheddar. 'Our shelves and trucks are full of champions from both sides of the border right now,' Holly Tyson, marketing manager for Provisions International, said. 'From first-time winners like Opa to perennial favorites like Mad River Blue and Alfred le Fermier, these results prove what we've long known — Vermont and Quebec together are a world-class force in artisan cheese. #CheeseUnitesUs.' Standout winners from Vermont and Quebec Fromagerie la Station's Alfred le Fermier, a raw cow's milk cheese from Quebec, earned Best of Show and first place in the Farmstead Cow's Milk category for aged cheeses. Vermont's Shelburne Farms took first place in Aged Cheddar (13–23 months) for its 1-Year Cheddar, while its 6-Month Cheddar earned a blue ribbon in the 'Aged up to 12 months' category. Von Trapp Farmstead's Mad River Blue placed second in its blue cheese category, and its new entry, Opa, earned third in Farmstead (Aged <60 days). Opa is washed in beer for a funky, yeast-driven rind and named after Werner von Trapp. Jasper Hill Farm dominated with multiple first-place wins for Bayley Hazen Blue, Clothbound Cheddar, Harbison, Alpha Tolman, and Vault 5 Cave Aged. Its Withersbrook Blue earned second place in Best of Show. Other Vermont and Quebec producers—including Grafton Village Cheese, Vermont Creamery, Boston Post Dairy, Spring Brook Farm, and Fromagerie du Presbytère—also brought home dozens of ribbons across categories like Cheddar, Feta, Soft-Ripened, Washed Rind, and Farmstead.
