The singer, 33, will celebrate the anniversary of the fictional superstar in a Disney+ special scheduled to debut in March.
“‘Hannah Montana’ will always be a part of who I am,” Cyrus said in a statement. “What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection. The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of. This ‘Hannahversary’ is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who’ve stood by me for 20 years.”

According to USA TODAY, the special will be filmed in front of a live studio audience and will feature an interview with Cyrus conducted by “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper, in which the singer will reflect on the series’ creation and impact.
There will also be never-before-seen archival footage, and some of the show’s most memorable sets will be “brought back to life — including the Stewart family living room and the legendary Hannah Montana closet,” Disney said. “There will also be some familiar notes that find their way back into the spotlight,” the announcement teased.
