Miley Cyrus, the star of the TV series Hannah Montana, is celebrating her 20th anniversary with a new Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special on Disney+. The show, which originally debuted 20 years ago, has been a hit with fans and inspired a Starbucks beverage. Cyrus followed advice from her godmother, Dolly Parton, who advised her to promote something before it existed. However, the importance of avoiding faking something to impress others is to make it happen. This strategy can work in the future, but only if it allows fans to express their feelings about the series.
