Long before becoming a country music superstar, Lainey Wilson impersonated Miley Cyrus’ iconic Disney character, Hannah Montana, for most of her teenage years.
“I was making bank in high school,” the singer told Taste of Country in a 2021 interview.
“One day I would be playing a 3-year-old’s birthday party and later that day, I would be playing a nursing home, so I really had to figure out how to adjust to my crowd.” Lainey told People magazine of her experience. “I was doing three or four parties a weekend and fairs and festivals. All my friends in high school were going to the LSU football games and living it up. I never even thought twice about it. I never felt like I was missing out. I felt like I was putting some notches on my belt.”
In regards to that, Cyrus began at length by admitting in the caption, “Thank you. Such an honor to be inducted as a Disney Legend. This award is dedicated to Hannah Montana and all of her fans. You’ve shown me legendary love & loyalty. Forever grateful.”
Furthermore, along with her message, the Disney alum shared a video of herself while making the acceptance speech at the event in Anaheim, California.
