"It's crazy that we're putting this documentary out, and it shows a little bit of my Hannah Montana journey, and then Miley did her Hannah-versary," said Wilson. "It feels pretty serendipitous."
Wilson also reflected on being able to join Cyrus, also 33, at theHannah Montana 20th Anniversary Specialpremiere in Los Angeles in March.
"Miley knows about my Hannah Montana journey, and I'mveryaware of her Hannah Montana journey," said the "Somewhere Over Laredo" singer. "Ours looked very different. I didn't have the Malibu mansion, but I had a little portable sound system and a lot of birthday parties that I got to go sing at."
Wilson noted that Cyrus "absolutely loves" that she impersonated Hannah.
"I told her impersonating Hannah really showed me, like, 'Okay, if you want this, if you want to do this not as Hannah Montana but as yourself, you're going to have to go get it,'" she said.
Wilson added that she "wasn't really even old enough to be driving, but I was going to Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana trying to play in front of whoever I possibly could."
Cyrus recently shared a new version of"Younger You"— featured in theHannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special—which features Wilson.
