From Sabrina Carpenter to Chappell Roan Why pop’s new stars are turning to Hannah Montana

#Miley Cyrus, the character played by Hannah Montana, has been a significant influence on the latest generation of pop stars. In 2009, Cyrus was voted the worst influence of 2009 by 50,000 teenagers, despite her long history of Disney stars who flamed out and her poor reputation in the media. However, she managed to distance herself from the role that made her a celebrity.

Today, Cyrus has made a name for herself in the pop scene, earned the respect of the press, industry, and academics, and even the love of Disney. She was named a Disney Legend in August, the youngest person in history to receive this recognition. A new generation of pop stars continues to speak about Cyrus's importance.

Sabrina Carpenter, 25, who entered the contest The Next Miley Cyrus Project at age 10, has become one of the brightest stars in pop music. She has leaned into the Hannah Montana-ification of her career and brand, with her high-femme styling, make-up, and big blonde hair becoming her signature look.

Chappell Roan, 26, is one of the biggest upcoming stars, who imitates the duality of Hannah Montana by embracing the drag persona of Kayleigh Rose Amstutz. Roan rose to fame as the opening act of Olivia Rodrigo, another Disney star who has broken free like Cyrus.
