Miley Cyrus Credits Dolly Parton for Tactic Behind 'Hannah Montana' 20th Anniversary Special, Set for March 24 on Disney+

Cyrus says Parton's 'promote it before it exists' mantra helped bring the Disney+ project to fruition.

Overview

  • In a new Variety interview, Cyrus says her godmother Dolly Parton taught her to promote ideas before they exist so they are harder to turn down.
  • Cyrus explains she began publicly teasing a 20th‑anniversary special for Hannah Montana last year before any formal plan existed.
  • The anniversary special is scheduled to stream on Disney+ on March 24, featuring a live studio taping, an interview hosted by Alex Cooper, unseen series footage, and appearances by Cyrus's parents.
  • Parton's participation in the special has not been confirmed as she recently discussed having "a few little health issues" after postponing concerts for medical treatment in 2025.
  • Parton previously appeared on Hannah Montana as Miley’s on‑screen aunt, underscoring her long association with the franchise.
