Miley Cyrus has been pumpin' up the party for *Hannah Montana*'s 20th anniversary right in front of our faces — and fans didn't even realize it.

The former child star and Disney Channel icon teased an upcoming tribute to the beloved sitcom while walking the red carpet over the weekend at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, where she revealed that a nod to her anniversary plans has been hiding in plain sight.

Cyrus said that she's "absolutely" focused on paying tribute to *Hannah Montana* for the show's 20th birthday, which falls on March 24 of this year.

"We're working hard on 'em," Cyrus told *Variety* of potential plans for the celebration, which is set to mark two decades since the pop star first sported a major blonde wig (with bangs!) to play Miley Stewart, a teen who lives a double life as the titular singer.

When pressed on details, Cyrus said, "I can't tell you," before giving in and revealing one major tease.

"You see the bangs!" the 33-year-old said before walking away, hinting at her blonde hairstyle matching that of the character she played across four seasons of the hit series.

Cyrus and her many costars have fielded questions about *Hannah Montana* over the years, as the program remains one of the most successful Disney Channel original series in the network's history.

*Elvis* star Austin Butler, who had a supporting role in season 2 of the show, spoke in August about the 20th anniversary while promoting his movie *Caught Stealing*.

"Is that a thing? Wow, wow. 20 years? That's crazy," Butler said before being asked if he'd consider reprising his role as Derek Hanson, the cousin of Miley's crush, Lucas.

"I don't know, I hadn't thought about it till just now," Butler replied, before saying he had "such great memories" from filming the show, and that he "had a lot of fun" on the project.
