In a recent interview on SiriusXM’s TikTok Radio, Cyrus reiterated her intention to honor the show’s legacy. “I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this that now sits here today. Without Hannah, there really wouldn’t be this kind of… this me,” she reflected.
She expressed enthusiasm about celebrating the character that launched her career, remarking, “It’s so crazy to think, too, that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed. And now that’s something that when I walk into a space, it’s looked at as this sense of nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood.”
