Miley Cyrus has revealed that advice from her grandmother, Dolly Parton, played a key role in Hannah Montana’s comeback.
In an interview with Variety, Cyrus revealed that Parton encouraged her to adopt what she jokingly described as a “terrible habit.”
She told the outlet, “I learned this terrible habit — but I actually think it was good advice — from Dolly.”
“She told me that if you want something to happen, you have to promote it before it exists. Then no one can say no,” Cyrus added.
That’s why Cyrus started promoting “something special” for Hannah Montana’s 20th anniversary before anything was planned.
The singer added, “So I just started promoting a Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special that literally didn’t exist.”
She went on to explain that she feels like “even Disney sometimes forgets the connection between me and Hannah.”
“It’s not just a TV show. I see every day how important Hannah is to people. When I travel, people bring me ‘Hannah’ merchandise. They ask, ‘Are you ever going to do another season?'” Miley Cyrus added.
Noticing fans’ excitement over Hannah Montana’s celebration, Miley Cyrus told Disney, “I’m telling you, this would be huge.”
It is pertinent to mention that Dolly Parton appeared in Miley Cyrus’ Hannah Montana as her character’s aunt, Aunt Dolly. Still, it remains unclear whether she will appear in the 20th anniversary special.
