Lainey Wilson Revisits Hannah Montana Roots at Disney+ Anniversary Premiere

She ties her teen impersonator years to a work ethic that now fuels new stage and screen projects.

Overview

  • Lainey Wilson stepped onto the Los Angeles premiere carpet for Disney+'s Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special in a sheer, beaded black Zuhair Murad jumpsuit with flared sleeves and pointed-toe pumps.
  • Speaking on the carpet, she recalled performing as a Hannah Montana impersonator from eighth grade through high school and said the grind taught her to chase opportunities herself.
  • Wilson said she has already shared that story with Miley Cyrus, whom she helped honor with a Disney Legend award in 2024.
  • Looking ahead, Wilson said a Netflix documentary arrives April 22 and will include behind-the-scenes moments from her Hannah Montana journey.
  • She also flagged major live dates on her calendar, including a Stagecoach headlining set and a performance at the 2026 ACM Awards in Las Vegas.
