The 2024 induction includes 14 new members, among them Miley Cyrus, the youngest ever at 31, recognized for her music success and Disney TV contributions.

“I stand here still proud to have been ‘Hannah Montana,'” Cyrus said. “This award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing, loyal fans, and to everyone who has made my dream a reality To quote the legend herself, ‘This is the life,'” she added, referencing the ‘Hannah Montana’ song of the same name.
