Speaking to Variety, Cyrus had offered a peak into her plans for Hannah Montana's 20th anniversary. “Something that they always say in ‘Avatar’ is ‘I see you’ — and that’s something really important that I want the fans to feel during the ‘Hannah-versary,’” she said.
Cyrus added, “Someone called it the ‘Hannah’ anniversary the other day, and I was like ‘No, no, no, it’s the ‘Hannah-versary'. I want the fans to really feel seen. They know that I appreciate them, but I also see like their growth. Because I have these moments all the time where people celebrate my evolution, but I see theirs as much as they see mine.”
When asked about the possibility of in-person festivities, like a concert tour, the Wrecking Ball singer replied “TBD. That’s still in the works. Everything takes time. I want to make something that’s meaningful, thoughtful and really satisfying for the fans.”
More recently, Cyrus again confirmed to Variety that she was involved in plans for the milestone date. “Absolutely. We're working hard on them,” she said. Cyrus further teased fans about her returning as Hannah Montana, by pointing to her blonde hairstyle and saying “You see the bangs.”

However, there is no official word of a tour and the singer had previously indicated she was not interested in touring either. The ‘Hannah-versary’ is on March 24.
