Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between. Paul McCartney has announced his first solo album in over 5 years, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, out May 29. The album is his most introspective album to date and takes listeners back to where it all began. Paul has released a new song, “Days We Left Behind,” which he says is “very much a memory song of me. I was thinking just that, about the days I left behind and I do often wonder if I’m just writing about the past but then I think how can you write about anything else?” Miley Cyrus celebrated the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana with a star-studded premiere of Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special at the El Capitan Theatre earlier this week. The special is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu and takes a look back as Miley revisits her most memorable moments. Miley shared, “HM …

The 33-year-old star ditched her brunette hair for blonde locks and bangs, becoming the spitting image of her fictional alter ego. She appeared in the arms of her fiancé Maxx Morando, and her outfit was a twist on a memorable trend from the 2000s: wearing a t-shirt under a dress. Cyrus wore a white crop top bearing her character’s image adorned with glitter and a tight silver sequined dress, evoking the world of the pop star. Some of the show’s cast was also on hand, including Cody Linley, who played Jake Ryan, the teenager’s boyfriend on the show.

As the cast of the beloved Disney hit, Hannah Montana, reunited for the first time in 20 years, there was a notable absence on the red carpet. Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley’s father – who also played her on-screen dad – was nowhere to be seen.  The 33-year-old singer was supported by key members of her famous family at the world premiere of the special episode in Los Angeles as she donned her iconic blonde hairstyle for the occasion.  At the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Miley beamed as the cameras flashed at her mom, Tish Cyrus, and her fiancé, Maxx Morando. However, fans were quick to notice the star’s off-screen and on-screen father missing from the family affair.  Billy Ray appears in the special after reconciling with his daughter in 2025 following a feud that lasted several years, but he is not on good terms with Miley’s mother after their divorce in 2022, after nearly 30 years of marriage.    Now dating British actress Elizabeth Hurley, the country singer has endured a rocky relationship with …

After a turbulent coming of age in the spotlight, which included the release of Cyrus’s provocative “Wrecking Ball” music video and a risqué VMAs performance with Robin Thicke, “I wasn’t trying to kill Hannah off,” she told Variety. “I was just progressing.” Cyrus continued, “Being recognizable as a teen going through different phases and stages was sometimes awkward, but that’s what helped me relate to the kids watching at home.” She added: “I boldly and unapologetically presented myself to the world at that time, where I could have gone the other way and played it safe. Maybe that would have been successful at the time, and it wouldn’t have been such a cross to bear, but I wouldn’t have had the reward. I don’t know if I would have had the sustainability that my career has now.” In 2020, Cyrus changed her life by choosing sobriety. As she told Variety, “It’s no surprise that I had my experiences with drugs and alcohol. “I was so used to living at a high, and I don’t think I ever learned …

The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special sees Cyrus return to the set of the Disney Channel show that launched her career, reflecting on her wigs, her closet and her early days in Hollywood alongside her mom Tish and dad Billy Ray.
