Miley Cyrus Wasnt Permitted To Sing Hannah Montana Songs After Leaving Disney
Washington : Actress-singer Miley Cyrus had to leave the 'Hannah Montana' songs behind after exiting the Disney Channel, reported Variety.
In a recent conversation on Spotify's 'The Ringer' podcast, as quoted by Variety, Cyrus said she 'wasn't allowed' to sing any of the original songs from her hit TV series 'Hannah Montana' after the show ended in 2011.
"After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the 'Hannah Montana' music. 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," said Miley Cyrus as quoted by Variety.
However, after Cyrus was named a Disney Legend at D23 2024, the actress was "given permission to perform those songs in the future," which Cyrus said was "pretty cool," as reported by Variety.

Recently, the pop sensation Miley Cyrus officially released her highly anticipated ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful'.
This new album marks a significant milestone in Cyrus's nearly 20-year career, following the success of her 2023 album 'Endless Summer Vacation', which featured the global hit single 'Flowers'.
Cyrus describes 'Something Beautiful' as "a unique visual experience fueled by fantasy" and a "one of a kind pop opera".T
The album explores themes of beauty, death, psychedelia, impermanence, heartbreak, and destruction, showcasing Cyrus's artistic growth and experimentation, as reported by Variety.

Alex Cooper net worth: Inside the ‘Call Her Daddy' host's businesses, brand deals and real estate
Alex Cooper has become one of the most successful creators in the digital media world. She first gained attention in 2018 when she launched the Call Her Daddy podcast with her roommate Sofia Franklyn under Barstool Sports. In 2021, Cooper went solo after signing a $60 million deal with Spotify. Since then, she's hosted some of the biggest names in pop culture, including Miley Cyrus, Hailey Bieber, and Kamala Harris. In 2023, Cooper and her husband Matt Kaplan launched The Unwell Network, which features shows like Pretty Lonesome and Boyfriend Material. In 2024, Cooper was named to Forbes' Top Creators list, recognizing her as one of the top earners in the content world. During an interview with PEOPLE that December, she shared business advice for new entrepreneurs: "Don't try to do a million things at once," she said. "If you focus on the one thing that you are educated on, and you are essentially a savant in, then just focus on that and trust your gut because trying to appease everyone is not going to get you anywhere." "I think sticking to one idea and making it the main thing is how I've succeeded with Call Her Daddy. For almost five years, I did nothing but Call Her Daddy, and I just grinded. I didn't take brand deals, I didn't put my face next to other products — I just focused on the main thing." Cooper's journey is now featured in a two-part docuseries, Call Her Alex, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 8 and began streaming on Hulu on June 10. Also Read: Alex Cooper reveals she 'had a Zoom call with' Donald Trump's team about… Though her exact net worth is not confirmed, Forbes reported that Cooper made $22 million in 2024 alone. Much of that income came from her work on Call Her Daddy, including her landmark deals with Spotify and SiriusXM. Her $60 million Spotify deal in 2021 was one of the largest ever for a podcast at the time. In August 2024, she signed an even bigger three-year deal with SiriusXM worth $125 million. "The brand had only grown since being at Spotify," Cooper told Forbes. "I knew the money would be there. The deal was more about what other things people can give Call Her Daddy and Unwell that will help us grow." Cooper has also earned money from merchandise sales. In 2020, she sold $800,000 worth of branded items in just three days. Over the years, Cooper has partnered with major brands such as Skims and Jimmy Choo. In 2024, she joined NBC's Peacock as a host for the Paris Olympic Games series Watch with Alex Cooper. Her company's drink line, Drink Unwell, became the official hydration sponsor of the National Women's Soccer League in 2025. Despite getting many offers, Cooper is selective. On the Boyfriend Material podcast in April 2025, she explained why she once turned down a large brand deal: "I just like didn't believe in putting my face next to it," she said. "I think it's important to say no to s---, because then you just lose your f------ credibility." Though she now earns millions, Cooper told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that she never started her podcast for the money. "Don't get me wrong, it is life-changing. You want to make money off the product that you're spending so much time on," she said. "But I started making content when I was 5 years old. I wasn't hoping for a paycheck. I just wanted my friends to feel something from the videos I was showing them." After signing her SiriusXM deal, she bought her parents a house in late 2024. "I literally wouldn't be here without them," she said. "Buying them a house is like the least I could f------ do, because they sacrificed financially, emotionally. They sacrificed with my other siblings in moments for me. So it feels really, really, really f------ insane and incredible that I get to do this." Cooper told The Hollywood Reporter that most of her money goes back into her business or is saved. Still, she said she occasionally splurges on cozy clothes. She does buy herself "a lot of UGGS and sweatpants," she told Entertainment Tonight in 2025.

In 2021, she signed a $60 million solo deal with Spotify. Then, in August 2024, she signed a much bigger deal—$125 million—with SiriusXM to bring her show and media company to the radio giant. Now, a new docuseries called Call Her Alex tells her story. It first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and will start streaming on Hulu on Tuesday, June 10. The two-part series follows Alex as she gets ready for her first live Call Her Daddy tour. But it's not just about work. The show also shares a closer look at her personal life. One emotional moment in the doc shows Alex opening up about her time in college at Boston University. She talks about her experience on the soccer team and says that her Division 1 coach sexually harassed her. The documentary also focuses on her relationship with Matt Kaplan, who is now her husband and business partner. 'When you're filming a documentary, there is a level of exposure that I wasn't used to if you're seeing me in my kitchen and I'm not just doing it for TikTok,' Alex said during a Q&A at Tribeca, according to PEOPLE. 'You're really seeing me in my life with my husband. I know you guys know how private Matt and I usually are, but I think this was a goal to show a little bit more.' She added: 'In the second episode, you will see parts of our vows from our wedding, which makes me cry every time.' With the doc now streaming, fans—aka the Daddy Gang—are learning more about her personal life, including her marriage and past relationships.

That first meeting went so well, she gave him the nickname 'Mr. Sexy Zoom Man.' After the call, they went out for dinner, and the connection was instant. 'I get into the car, we lock eyes,' Cooper shared in a 'Call Her Daddy' episode in August 2020. 'You know those people you meet immediately that it's just like you feel like you've known each other for so long? We immediately vibed and it was just like we're going to get along so well.'

On her podcast, Alex told listeners that 'Mr. Sexy Zoom Man' was now her boyfriend. She shared a sweet moment when she met him at the airport. 'He makes eye contact with me, and he just walks over to me,' Cooper shared. 'It was a great moment … it was cool to be like 'I made the right decision.'' Matt proposed at their home in Los Angeles with candles, music, and a scavenger hunt. 'When I came home that night, my entire house was covered in candles, lit all over, music playing, and a scavenger hunt leading to Matt proposing,' Cooper recalled to W Magazine in April 2023. 'There was a computer and the screen said 'play me.' I played the video, and it was Matt wearing the same exact outfit that he wore on our first Zoom meeting together. He talked about our relationship and his love for me, and then he asked me to open the card sitting there and to follow the scavenger hunt around the house.' 'Matt is so creative and thoughtful. He knew I wanted it to be private,' she gushed on an episode of 'Call Her Daddy' in April 2023. The couple announced their new company called Trending, focused on Gen Z. It combines their media work—including Call Her Daddy, ACE Entertainment, and The Unwell Network. Alex and Matt held a small pre-wedding ceremony with Matt's grandmother. 'We had a little pre-wedding celebration with Matt's 100 yr old grandma last night,' Cooper shared via Instagram. 'She sadly won't be able to travel to our wedding so we wanted to make her feel special and a part of everything sobbing love you grandmommy. The daddy gang loves you too you legend (yes she's wearing Chd sweats).' Alex and Matt got married in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Their dogs, Harry and Bruce, were ring bearers. Her brother Grant officiated. 'For our families and closest friends to hear us verbalize our feelings toward one another in the most intimate setting felt electric,' Cooper told Vogue at the time. 'As you will see in almost every photo, there were no dry eyes in sight. We will never forget that moment.' June 2024 (Tribeca Q&A) Alex spoke about opening up more in her new docuseries Call Her Alex, where she gives fans a closer look into her life with Matt. 'When you're filming a documentary, there is a level of exposure that I wasn't used to if you're seeing me in my kitchen and I'm not just doing it for TikTok,' she shared during a Q&A at Tribeca, per PEOPLE. 'You're really seeing me in my life with my husband. I know you guys know how private Matt and I usually are, but I think this was a goal to show a little bit more.' She added: 'In the second episode, you will see parts of our vows from our wedding, which makes me cry every time.' Kaplan is a film producer and the CEO of Ace Entertainment. He's best known for producing Netflix hits like To All the Boys I've Loved Before and its spinoff XO, Kitty. He used to be president of Awesomeness Films and has built a strong career making young adult movies and shows. Even though he's from Los Angeles, Kaplan went to college on the East Coast. He graduated from Columbia University in New York City, where he studied film and played football as a quarterback for the Columbia Lions. After school, Kaplan started out as an assistant and worked his way up to senior vice president at Lionsgate Films.
