"Legends get scared too, but we do it anyways."

This young woman has come such a long way.

"It's legendary to be afraid and do it anyway." damn

Beautiful speech. Miley's all grown up. So so mature.

This woman had to grow up on camera in front of millions of people judging her looks, her clothes, her talent, her personal life and every word that came out of her mouth. Every mistake she made was broadcast for public scrutiny. This kind of spotlight usually crushes a person, which is why so many child stars are messed up. To see her come out of it a mature, poised and successful woman is amazing. I wish her a lifetime of success.

She’s incredibly grounded and self aware. So respectful. A rarity for child American stars

[kissed]

She's a true example of how a normal human being goes through the ups and downs of life but living her best life in her own way and expressing her true self throughout her life. She made my childhood and I grew up watching her up to this day. She was a legendary person for me and for everybody ❤❤

I'm actually rewatching Hannah Montana again for the hundredth time as a 31 year old. It was a huge part of my childhood and will always have a special place in my heart, along with Miley

Happy to see not only the singer she is nowadays, she is so outstanding and different, happy to see the wisdom she has now, the maturity, the personality that she has managed to build, not every people had the opportunity and luck to see this in life.

Imagine a childhood without Hannah Montana..the last wholesome teenage pop sensation🥹🫶🏽

[Carlos-wvyj]

She is more than a legend. She is the queen of Disney, and the queen of teen pop

[xoxotous]

I remember a time when she tried to outgrow & distance herself as much as she could from Hannah Montana. Im glad she has finally gone back to her roots & embracing Hannah again. Shows how much she has grown up & matured.

[JAIME_JOSH_STAN]

she's the moment, she's iconic

[marissasuess]

This is an honorable award for her. She is beyond Disney. I love hearing her speech, she has lots of heart in who she is. 🩷🩷🩷

Growing up with Hannah and the other legends within that Disney era is a blessing.

[Yeorumshiro]

This made me cry. I'm proud of Miley. Hannah Montana was a huge part of my childhood and I still want to go back to those days and do Hoedown throwdown dance which me and my friend was obsessed. The series, the movie and miley in it..everything was perfect. I miss it 😢

[rin-eri]

Awh <3 that's so sweet to see her finally looking back and embracing her Disney past. It doesn't have to clash with who she is today.

[happymittens]

First a grammy winner now a Disney legend. My girl Miley has come such a long way and I absolutely love her! So well deserved!

[Hash_kw]

the speech is perfection. even better than her grammy speech. it touched my soul and made me happy in so many ways.

[Chelsgirl]

I am so proud to be Miley/HannahMontana's fan since the very beginning, I remember in 2006 at 13 years old watching the pilot of Hannah Montana on Disney Channel in my bedroom on my small childhood tv and right as i saw her on my screen, I knew in my head and heart that she was going to be huge one day and it happened! Now at 31 years old I am still very much a fan of hers and always will be. True lifelong fan right here!!

When she say this is the life I started singing
