Miley Cyrus continues to reconnect with other Disney alums on her Instagram Live show, Bright Minded.
In a recent episode, Miley got the OG Tween Queen herself, Hilary Duff, to join her for a chat.
Miley revealed that Hilary, who starred as Lizzie McGuire in the popular show of the same name, was a huge inspo for her growing up.
“I wanted to say that I came to your concert when I was 11 and I told you that I wore a plaid skirt out to the show because you wore a plaid skirt and Uggs,” Miley recalled. “And from the nosebleed seats I was hoping you would notice me and be like, ‘Hey girl, nice Uggs!’ I don’t know what I was thinking, but I was obsessed with your t-shirt. It was bedazzled and said ‘Nashville,’ and I immediately went and bought a bedazzler and I stayed up all night jeweling everything that I owned.”
“And then I flew to L.A., like, almost immediately so I could audition for Disney and I ended up getting the role,” she continued. “But the only reason I wanted it was so I could do whatever you did. And so really, I don’t think I gave a sh*t about being an actress or a singer. I just wanted to copy you no matter what.”
She also thanked Hilary “for just inspiring me and I would never be sitting here, being able to be a light if it wasn’t for you and you showing me how to do that. So I’m just so happy I could have you on the show.”
Yes, guys, that was Miley totally fangirling over Hilary Duff.
But, apparently, the feeling is mutual.
“First of all, you’re so sweet and I feel like I’ve known you for such a long time,” Hilary responded. “And just to hear you say that, I feel like you have been such a bright light and you have made so many choices that have been so bold and you’re an inspiration to me and to all of us. And you continue to be.”
“So I can’t even believe what you’re saying to me,” she continued. “It’s so sweet and so kind, but really, I think that I totally look to you for inspiration on how to be cool and what to wear and what you’re doing and all of this s–t.”
Awww…
Miley previously had her Hannah Montana BFF Emily Osment, and fellow Disney alum Demi Lovato on the show.
