Miley Cyrus claims Disney banned her from singing ‘Hannah Montana' songs after series ended

Miley Cyrus was apparently not allowed to have 'The Best of Both Worlds.' The 32-year-old pop superstar has revealed that Disney allegedly banned her from singing 'Hannah Montana' songs after her series ended in 2011. 'After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the 'Hannah Montana' music,' Cyrus said on 'The Ringer' podcast. Advertisement 5 Miley Cyrus attended the Tribeca Festival premiere of her short film 'Something Beautiful' at NYC's Beacon Theatre. That meant that the singer had to say goodbye to hits such as 'Nobody's Perfect' and 'He Could Be the One' as well as 'The Best of Both Worlds,' which was the theme song of 'Hannah Montana.' (However, she could still perform 'The Climb,' which was featured in 2009's 'Hannah Montana: The Movie.') At the time, Cyrus was already moving in a different, less Disney-friendly direction with her new label, RCA, that would result in 2013's 'Bangerz' LP. So, performing 'Hanna Montana' material that she had outgrown didn't feel right for her anymore.

'I mean, performing 'The Best Of Both Worlds' between 'We Can't Stop' and 'Wrecking Ball' wouldn't have really made sense.' Still, having become a teen sensation playing Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel series from 2006 to 2011, it was strange for Cyrus to cut the chord from those tunes that shaped her TV identity. 'It was still sad knowing those songs have my voice, my face, and I wasn't allowed to sing them,' she said.

That all changed in August 2024, when she was inducted as a Disney Legend during a ceremony at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. 'After being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool,' she told 'The Ringer.' The Post reached out to Disney for comment. Advertisement Fourteen years after the end of 'Hannah Montana,' Cyrus is a Grammy-winning veteran who is back with her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful,' which was released two weeks ago. She premiered the short film that accompanies her new LP at the Tribeca Festival on Friday night. 5 Former 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus was inducted as a Disney Legend in August 2024. 5 Miley Cyrus was heckled at the Tribeca Festival premiere of her short film 'Something Beautiful' by some fans who were under the impression that she would perform at the event. However, during the conversation portion of the night at NYC's Beacon Theatre, the 'Flowers' singer was heckled by some fans who were seemingly under the impression that Cyrus would be performing at the event. 'We thought this was a concert, we paid $800,' one person shouted at her after the 55-minute film screening. 'Are you actually going to sing?' another person asked. Cyrus, who hasn't performed live extensively since her last big tour for 'Bangerz' in 2014, eventually gave in and sang an a cappella rendition of 'The Climb.'

Miley Cyrus is now allowed to perform her Hannah Montana songs

Miley Cyrus is now allowed to perform songs from her Hannah Montana days. The 32-year-old pop superstar famously broke away from the wholesome image she had created on the musical Disney Channel series when it came to an end in the early 2010s, and was forbidden to perform songs from its soundtrack until the corporation named her a Disney Legend. Speaking on the Every Single Album podcast, she explained: "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. "But after being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool." Hannah Montana followed the adventures of a schoolgirl who lived a double life as a world-famous pop star. It ran for four seasons from 2006 until 2011 and a cinematic film was released in 2009. Each season and the movie spawned a top-selling soundtrack featuring original songs, and The Best of Both Worlds Tour took place in 2007. The Climb - which was featured in the final scene of Hannah Montana: The Movie and released under her own name - is the only track from the franchise that Miley has performed in recent years. Upon her acceptance of the Disney Legend honour towards the end of last year, the Easy Lover hitmaker insisted that she was "proud" to have starred as the fictional pop star as she referenced a track from the initial soundtrack. She said: "I had gotten a taste of what my life could be, and from that moment on, I did not want anything else. " "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." "IIn 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.'"

Miley Cyrus Says Disney Stopped Her from Singing ‘Hannah Montana' Songs After Series Ended: ‘Not Like I Wanted to'

Miley Cyrus is opening up about her music career after leaving Hannah Montana behind. In a recent interview on The Ringer podcast, the 32-year-old pop star and actress revealed that following the end of the hit Disney Channel series in 2011, she was banned from performing any songs associated with the teen sitcom.

'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.' But it wasn't easy being cut off from music so tied to her early identity. 'It was still sad knowing those songs have my voice, my face, and I wasn't allowed to sing them,' she said. That changed in August 2024, when Cyrus was officially inducted as a Disney Legend during a ceremony at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. 'After being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool,' she told The Ringer. Hannah Montana debuted in March 2006 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon, premiering to a record-breaking 5.4 million viewers, the highest in Disney Channel's history at the time. Cyrus, then 13 years old, played Miley Stewart, a teenager living a secret double life as a Malibu student by day and global pop star by night. Under her TV alter ego, Cyrus charted 20 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 as Hannah Montana. 'He Could Be the One' became the biggest hit, reaching the top 10 in 2009. The show's theme song, 'The Best of Both Worlds,' also made the chart, reaching No. 92 in 2006. Cyrus also earned three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 as Hannah Montana: Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, and Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack.
