Miley Cyrus wasn't allowed to sing 'Hannah Montana' songs after exit from Disney

Miley Cyrus reveals Disney's post-show restrictions and her recent Disney Legend status, unlocking her iconic TV series music.

"I wasn't allowed to perform any of the 'Hannah Montana' music - Miley Cyrus, Spotify's 'The Ringer' Podcast"

Washington DC, June 8

Actress-singer Miley Cyrus had to leave the 'Hannah Montana' songs behind after exiting the Disney Channel, reported Variety.

In a recent conversation on Spotify's 'The Ringer' podcast, as quoted by Variety, Cyrus said she 'wasn't allowed' to sing any of the original songs from her hit TV series 'Hannah Montana' after the show ended in 2011.

"After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the 'Hannah Montana' music. It's not like I wanted to, I mean, performing 'The Best Of Both Worlds' between 'We Can't Stop' and 'Wrecking Ball,' wouldn't have really made sense. It was still sad knowing those songs have my voice, my face, and I wasn't allowed to sing them," said Miley Cyrus as quoted by Variety.

However, after Cyrus was named a Disney Legend at D23 2024, the actress was "given permission to perform those songs in the future," which Cyrus said was "pretty cool," as reported by Variety.

As per the outlet, 'Hannah Montana,' which followed a regular teen who lives a double life as the titular pop sensation, ran for 100 episodes from 2006 to 2011 on the Disney Channel.

Other cast members included Emily Osment, Jason Earles, Billy Ray Cyrus, Mitchel Musso and Moises Arias.

Recently, the pop sensation Miley Cyrus officially released her highly anticipated ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful'.

This new album marks a significant milestone in Cyrus's nearly 20-year career, following the success of her 2023 album 'Endless Summer Vacation', which featured the global hit single 'Flowers'.

Cyrus describes 'Something Beautiful' as "a unique visual experience fueled by fantasy" and a "one of a kind pop opera".T

The album explores themes of beauty, death, psychedelia, impermanence, heartbreak, and destruction, showcasing Cyrus's artistic growth and experimentation, as reported by Variety.

Disney's copyright rules seem too strict no? These songs are part of Miley's journey too. Glad they finally gave permission. Her new album sounds interesting though - "pop opera" is a bold experiment! 🤔

Hannah Montana was my childhood! Still remember watching it on Hungama TV. It's sad she couldn't sing those songs for so long. But artists need to evolve - her new sound is more mature and suits her age now.

This is why Bollywood is better - our stars can sing their old songs anytime they want! But seriously, American music industry contracts seem too restrictive. Miley has come a long way from her Disney days.

I think Disney was right initially. Miley's post-Hannah image was too wild for those innocent songs. But now that she's more settled, it's nice they're letting her revisit her roots. "Flowers" is my current favorite! 🌸

Interesting how artists get tied by contracts. In India we have similar issues with music labels. Miley's growth from child star to serious artist is impressive. Looking forward to hearing this "pop opera" concept - sounds innovative!
