Miley Cyrus Officially Becomes the Youngest Disney Legend in History

As a longtime Disney enthusiast and someone who grew up with the magic of Hannah Montana, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia during this year’s D23 event. Seeing Miley Cyrus, the embodiment of my childhood dreams, being inducted as the youngest ever Disney Legend was an emotional rollercoaster!


Just wanted to let you know about Disney Legends – it’s an exclusive hall of fame established by Disney, honoring individuals who have left a profound mark on Disney’s legacy throughout the years. This tradition began back in 1987, with fresh inductees typically recognized at the D23 event each year, except for 1988 when no new members were announced.

Indeed, that implies that the recently concluded D23 event, a grand spectacle as you know, yielded a wealth of fantastic details for us. Notably, it introduced a fresh wave of Disney Legends, and while many esteemed and influential figures were present, we shattered a record this year!

Specifically, Miley Cyrus, a renowned pop singer, was bestowed with the title of Disney Legend during this year’s D23 event. This makes her the youngest individual ever to be inducted into Disney’s Hall of Fame, given her significant role in one of Disney’s beloved children’s programs.

Miley Cyrus famously played the lead role in Disney’s beloved “Hannah Montana” series, a show that stands out as one of Disney’s most impactful children’s programs. To kick off this event, Lainey Wilson performed a vibrant cover of the iconic “The Best of Both Worlds” from Hannah Montana. You can watch it here: [link]

Following that announcement, with eyes brimming with tears, Miley Cyrus graced the stage, becoming the record-holding youngest Disney Legend. To this recognition, she responded:

As a gamer, let me share a secret from a Disney Legend: I’m the one who reveals what you’re not supposed to know. Here goes: Legends feel fear too, and right now, I’m feeling it. But unlike others, we face our fears head-on. And that’s something you can do every day. It takes courage to be scared and push through, and that’s what makes you legendary!
