US EditionDisney Reverses Legal Ban on Miley Cyrus After 10+ Years
- In August 2024, Miley Cyrus became the youngest recipient of the Disney Legend award, which also granted her the ability to perform her Hannah Montana songs once again.
- This change followed a decade-long ban imposed after the Hannah Montana series ended in 2011, which prevented Cyrus from performing those songs.
- Premiering in early 2006, Hannah Montana attracted 5.4 million viewers, setting a new record for Disney Channel debuts, and starred Cyrus as a teenager balancing a secret life as both a regular student and a pop star.
- Cyrus shared that it was difficult for her to be unable to perform the songs associated with Hannah Montana, especially since they featured her voice and image, but she found it exciting once she was finally allowed to include them in her shows again.
- The induction and lifting of the ban allow Cyrus to revisit her earlier work, suggesting potential future performances or projects centered on her Disney-era legacy.
