In a surprising twist at the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, set to premiere on March 24, 2026, Miley Cyrus referred to host Alex Cooper as “kinda creepy” for moving next door. This light-hearted jab came as the two celebrated two decades since the iconic show first aired.
Cyrus, who portrayed the beloved character Hannah Montana from 2006 to 2011, expressed her gratitude towards Cooper for helping bring the anniversary special to life, despite the unusual neighborly situation. “Alex being a superfan… it’s kinda creepy… she is also my neighbour, which is also creepy,” Cyrus remarked, adding, “There was no other host, I was like I’ll just walk next door, yeah it was weird.”
The special, filmed in front of a live studio audience, features never-before-seen archival footage and performances of iconic songs from the series, which aired for four seasons. Cyrus, now 33, reflected on the show’s impact, stating, “Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am.”
Cooper, at 31, has garnered attention for her hosting skills and her connection to the show, which significantly contributed to Cyrus’s rise in the entertainment industry. The event also highlighted the absence of Emily Osment, who played Lilly Truscott, due to filming commitments for another project.
As the anniversary approaches, fans eagerly await the special, which promises to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Observers are keen to see how the reunion unfolds and what surprises may be in store for the audience.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding additional guest appearances or exclusive content that may be revealed during the special. The excitement surrounding the event continues to build as fans reflect on the lasting legacy of Hannah Montana.
