March 24, 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of when the Hannah Montana show first premiered. Now as this date inches closer, fans are excited for the special that will celebrate this iconic series.

Hannah Montana, otherwise known as Miley Cyrus, was a role model, inspiring a generation of young girls by maintaining a relatable life while striving for her wildest dream. The show uncovered the truth beneath all the glitter and fame of being a pop star.

Montana helped shape the early 2000s, influencing her fans to chase their hopes while staying true to their friends and families.

With “Hannahversary” right around the corner, fans are excited to see what surprises are ensured for this special, hosted by Alex Cooper.

According to the Disney Plus website, “…Cyrus will revisit the moments, music and memories that defined an era.”

This is a one-of-a-kind special that will include archival footage as well as unforgettable “Hannah” moments. Some famous sets–the Stewart family living room and Montana’s legendary closet– will find their way back into the spotlight.

As the anniversary special comes to Disney Plus so does new perspective and a trip down memory lane. The lasting impact of this show is still powerful, with nostalgic heartfelt moments.

Sophomore Morgan Webster still remembers her favorite scenes, reminiscing over her favorite lines.

“Life’s a climb, but the view is great,” Webster said.

Webster quoted Cyrus’s famous line about challenges in the world. As the special premiere comes near, Webster’s excitement continues to grow as Cyrus was an influential person in her life.

Although Montana’s true identity was revealed as Cyrus, her influence on others’ lives continues to grow as she was a monumental figure for pop-culture in the early 2000s.

The show still delivers the message of staying true to yourself even as fans prepare to revisit the world of wigs, music and fame. Twenty years later, Montana still proves you can have ‘the best of both worlds.’
