In a surprising turn of events, Miley Cyrus labeled Alex Cooper as “kinda creepy” for moving next door to her, just as the anticipation builds for the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, hosted by Cooper. The special is set to premiere on March 24, 2026, marking two decades since the beloved show first aired.
Cyrus, who portrayed the iconic character Hannah Montana from 2006 to 2011, expressed her mixed feelings during a promotional event for the anniversary. “Alex being a superfan… it’s kinda creepy… she is also my neighbour, which is also creepy,” Cyrus remarked, highlighting the unusual circumstances surrounding their proximity.
The anniversary special promises to be a nostalgic trip for fans, featuring never-before-seen archival footage and performances of iconic songs from the series. Cyrus took a moment to thank Cooper for her role in bringing the special to life, stating, “Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am.”
The event was filmed in front of a live studio audience, adding to the excitement of the occasion. However, not all original cast members were present; Emily Osment, who played Lilly Truscott, was absent due to filming commitments for another show.
As the show celebrates its legacy, it serves as a reminder of the impact Hannah Montana had on both Cyrus’s career and the Disney Channel landscape. The series ran for four seasons, significantly contributing to Cyrus’s rise as a pop icon.
With Alex Cooper now a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, her hosting of the special marks a full-circle moment for both her and Cyrus. At just 31 years old, Cooper has made a name for herself, while Cyrus, now 33, continues to evolve as an artist.
As fans eagerly await the premiere, the dynamics between Cyrus and Cooper will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion. Observers are curious to see how their relationship develops, especially given the playful tension highlighted by Cyrus’s comments.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further collaborations between the two, but the buzz surrounding the anniversary special is palpable as it approaches its release date.
