Lainey Wilson had a full-circle moment during the 2024 Disney Legends Ceremony Sunday night (Aug. 11).

Miley Cyrus made history as the youngest person to ever be named a Disney Legend. To honor her, Lainey Wilson took the stage to perform the actress’ hit number “Best of Both Worlds," a song Cyrus would perform on her hit show Hannah Montana.

“Miley, you might not know this, but I am truly one of your biggest fans,” the “Hang Tight Honey” singer shared from the stage. “My very first job was taking my portable sound system and a wig…and impersonating Hannah Montana."

It’s true! Before the singer was the famous superstar she is, she was hustling as a Hannah Montana impersonator!

“I was making bank in high school,” the singer told Taste of Country in an interview back in 2021. “I was doing three to four parties a weekend.”

As Wilson finished her speech, she thanked the actress for playing an important role in how she viewed herself.

“You inspired me to believe in myself,” she noted, “That I, too, could be an ordinary girl living in an extraordinary world. So on behalf of Hannah Montana fans everywhere, I’d like to dedicate this song to you.”

Later, the singer posted a photo of the pair, making it quite a surreal moment for Lainey.

“From performing as Hannah Montana on flat bed trailers at birthday parties to honoring the legend herself … now that right there is what ya call a full circle moment,” she writes on Instagram.

“Miley Cyrus, you’re such an inspiration.”

The singer is currently out on the road for her Country’s Cool Again Tour.
