As the beloved show HANNAH MONTANA was approaching 20 years old, Miley Cyrus took it upon herself to set this anniversary special into motion before executives made any plans to do so. She wanted to ensure fans could celebrate the show the same way it began – accessible to fans on TV rather than a one-time private event – she made sure fans could enjoy it as well.
The show begins with Miley driving a convertible along the coast from her Malibu home, arriving backstage for the concert performance that opens the show. She says, “It’s good to be home.” As she gets on stage and performs the first song, “You Get the Best of Both Worlds.”
Backstage, Miley comments on how emotional she already feels as she stops by a dressing mirror. She pulls a lever to turn on the lights to reveal the original set. It remains exactly as she left it.
Alex Cooper, a famous podcaster, arrives on set and begins her interview with Miley. Miley comments that she serves as the one person who knows Hannah Montana better than herself. Alex begins by saying it marks two decades since the premiere of this generation-defining series. She asks Miley why she felt that this special represents the best way to revisit Hannah. Miley explains that she wanted to invite the fans in a similar accessible fashion to the show. She comments that her transition away from Hannah Montana proved difficult, but she wanted to thank the fans specifically. Miley took it upon herself to make this special event a reality. They discuss her original audition.
Tish Cyrus-Purcell, Miley’s mother, joins Miley on a couch, sharing memories of the show. Gary Marsh, the former President of Disney Channel’s Worldwide, shares how this show fulfilled his dream and how he paved the way for it.
Back with Alex, Miley discusses what she experienced when she first arrived from Nashville and never looked back. They discuss friendships on set and the unique way they bonded off set. They discuss the infamous wigs and share fan-favorite clips of the show.
Tish joins Miley in Hannah’s closet. They discuss the fashion choices and Tish’s role in shaping them. They share clips of the outfits as they pull items out.
Selena Gomez visits, and they discuss their friendship. Miley has a gift for her. More musical performances of Hannah Montana classics and “The Climb.”

Miley shares how extremely blessed she feels to have this lifestyle from her family and her fans, with her way paved in love. She hopes the next 20 years will be just as beautiful, but that will be private moving forward.
