Miley Cyrus planning 'something really special' for Hannah Montana's 20th anniversary
Miley, 32, shot to fame in the Disney show – which ran for four seasons from 2006 to 2011 – and she revealed she would love to pay tribute to the series with a special celebration next year.
She told SiriusXM's TikTok Radio: '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 really wouldn't be this kind of… this me.'
The show starred Cyrus as Miley Stewart, a teenage girl living a double life as famous pop singer Hannah Montana and Miley is excited to celebrate the character.
She said: 'It's so crazy to think, too, that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed. And now that's something that when I walk into a space, it's looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood, but I've now been as kind of integrated into everyone's life as the character itself. So that's exciting to get to celebrate that.'
While Miley was initially keen to shed her squeaky clean image and leave the character behind after the show ended, she revealed last year that she still feels a lot of affection for Hannah Montana.
During her speech as she accepted her award as a Disney Legend, Miley said: 'A little bit of everything has changed, ... but at the same time, nothing has changed at all, I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana.
"In so many ways, this award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing loyal fans, and to everyone who has made my dream a reality. To quote the legend herself, 'This is the life.' "
And, Miley would be open to revisiting the character.
During an appearance on the Carolina With Greg T In The Morning radio show in 2020, she said: "You know what honestly, I try to put that wig on all the time. She's just in storage collecting dust and I'm ready to whip her out ... The opportunity will present itself.
"I definitely would like to resurrect her at some point. She needs a big makeover because she's kinda stuck in 2008, so we'll need to go shopping with Miss Montana."

Jamie Lee Curtis has been a 'mother figure' to Freakier Friday co-star Lindsay Lohan throughout her life
Jamie Lee Curtis has been a "mother figure" to Lindsay Lohan all her life. The two actresses starred together in 2003 comedy film Freaky Friday, the plot of which sees Lindsay's character Anna Coleman swap bodies with her mother Tess Coleman, played by Curtis, 66, The pair have reprised their roles for Disney sequel Freakier Friday, but for more than two decades Lindsay says they have maintained a "true friendship" which is a rare thing in Hollywood. Speaking to Italian publication IO Donna, Lindsay said of Jamie: "We are great friends. She's always been a mother figure, even off-set. "We laugh a lot together. She called me when I was pregnant, and from there we started talking about the sequel. "Ours is a true friendship, which is rare sometimes in Hollywood." Lindsay has a two-year-old son Luai with her husband, financier Bader Shammas and she admits motherhood has had a major impact on her life and helped her play Anna as an adult woman with her own family in Freakier Friday. She said: "Motherhood opened up a new world for me, full of emotions and responsibilities. It allowed me to portray Anna Coleman in a deeper and more empathetic light: she's a woman trying to do everything to the best of her ability, like millions of other women, torn between home and work." However, Lohan, 39, did not bring Luai on set because she thinks it's important to keep work and family life separate. She shared: "I try to keep family and work separate. The biggest challenge for a mother is managing time. I try to be there as much as possible: in the morning before filming, and in the evening when I get back. When I'm not working, I'm simply a mother. My son, for now, stays out of the spotlight." Despite the tribulations she went through as she transitioned from being a child actress to an adult, such as spells in rehab and legal issues, Lohan would not try and stop him from following in her acting footsteps. She said: "He'll do what he wants, and I'll always support him. In the meantime... he needs to finish his plate of vegetables."
