Miley Cyrus Honored as Youngest-Ever Disney Legend at D23: ‘It’s Legendary to Be Afraid and Do It Anyway’


Miley Cyrus was honored as the youngest-ever Disney Legend during a star-studded ceremony at the D23 Expo in Anaheim.

Lainey Wilson took the stage to introduce Cyrus, performing her own lively rendition of the “Hannah Montana” classic “The Best of Both Worlds.” After the song, she told the singer, “Miley, I want to thank you for never being afraid to step outside the box, always staying true to yourself, and most importantly, always kicking butt.” At the star-studded ceremony on Sunday night at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Cyrus was honored alongside costume designer Colleen Atwood, Angela Bassett, Disney Parks cast member Martha Blanding, James L. Brooks, James Cameron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Marvel comic artist Steve Ditko, Harrison Ford, animator Mark Henn, Frank Oz, Kelly Ripa, imagineer Joe Rohde and John Williams. She shed her squeaky clean image over time with grown-up hits like “We Can’t Stop,” “Wrecking Ball” and “Malibu,” but returned to her roots last year with the Disney+ documentary concert special “Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions).”
