Miley Cyrus, 31, became the youngest ever “Disney Legend” at the D23 Disney Fan Event on Aug. 11. Now the star has posted her entire acceptance speech, as well as a cute musical moment.
Miley didn’t actually sing during the ceremony. Instead, country music superstar Lainey Wilson, who used to earn money performing as a Hannah Montana impersonator, did the honors, singing “The Best of Both Worlds.” But Miley has posted a video of herself singing along to the song while in the audience.
Delighted fans immediately began clamoring for a Miley “eras tour,” during which, apparently, she’d perform as Hannah and as herself.
During her speech, Miley joked about how people believe “Disney kids” like her were “created in a lab,” adding, “If I was, there must’ve been a bug in the system which caused me to malfunction somewhere between the years of 2013 and [20]16. Sorry, Mickey!”Â
Those years were, of course, Miley’s most “controversial”: nude hammer-licking, tongue, twerking and all. But, she went on to say, “I was so proud to be Hannah Montana … she made Miley in so many ways.”
Miley wrote in the caption of her post, “Thank you. Such an honor to be inducted as a Disney Legend. This award is dedicated to Hannah Montana and all of her fans. You’ve shown me legendary love & loyalty. Forever grateful.“
