Miley Cyrus tells Disney fans she is ‘proud to have been Hannah Montana’
The Grammy-award winning singer received a standing ovation as she was honoured during Disney’s biennial fan convention.
Miley Cyrus, who rose to fame as a child star on Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana, praised fans of the show who made her “dream a reality” during an emotional speech.
The Grammy-award winning singer received a standing ovation from the 12,000-strong crowd when she became the youngest star honoured with Disney Legends status at the company’s biennial fan convention, D23.
Country singer Lainey Wilson introduced Cyrus with a rendition of Hannah Montana theme track The Best Of Both Worlds, before thanking the star for “never being afraid to step outside the box”.
Cyrus said “a little bit of everything has changed” since she shot her first scenes as a teenager leading a double life as a famous pop star “but at the same time nothing has changed at all”.
