When Sabrina Carpenter was six, she was inspired by Disney's Hannah Montana to pursue a career in singing, acting, and dancing. Years later, she found her big break through Miley Cyrus and Disney, leading to a successful music career. Hannah Montana's impact on pop culture is evident in the current generation of Gen Z pop stars, including Olivia Rodrigo and JoJo Siwa, who credit the show as their inspiration. The show not only influenced the careers of its stars but also paved the way for a new era of pop stars. Artists like Carpenter and Chappell Roan are embracing the Hannah Montana aesthetic in their music and image, following in the footsteps of Miley Cyrus's successful career evolution. As Cyrus herself experiences a career renaissance, the influence of the Hannah Montana Generation continues to shape the music industry, with more young artists poised to make their mark.
