To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus writes her iconic character an open letter.  The letter says:

 

“Hi Hannah, It’s been a while. 15 years to be exact. Since the first time I slid those blonde bangs over my forehead in the best attempt to conceal my identity. Then slipped into a puke pink terry cloth robe with a bedazzled HM over the [heart].  I didn’t know then … that is where you would live forever. Not just in mine but millions of people around the world.  Although you are considered to be an ‘alter ego’ in reality there was a time in my life when you held more of my identity in your glovette than I did in my bare hands.  The final episode was appropriately titled ‘Wherever I Go’ after a song by the teen pop sensation herself. YOU. Me? Hannah Montana.  The first verse sings ‘Everything is about to change. A chapter ending but the stories only just begun. A page is turning for everyone.’ And closes on a soaring chorus belting ‘We might be apart but I hope you always know you’ll be with me wherever I go.’ Hannah, I hope you hear me + believe those words are true. You have all my love + upmost gratitude. Breathing life into you for those 6 years was an honor.”
