Miley Cyrus has been teasing her appearance on the RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 premiere, and she did not disappoint. From sneaking backstage in drag to literally wearing a dress made out of vinyl records, she brought her trademark personality and energy. But the best part, by far, were all the Hannah Montana references during the premiere. Apparently two of the queens, Soju and Kahanna, lip synced to the Hannah Montana theme song "The Best of Both Worlds," and Miley snapped a video on her Instagram of her dancing along to her iconic tune at the Drag Race afterparty.

It has been quite a while since Miley channeled her Disney Channel character (the show wrapped in 2011) and she has evolved like crazy since then as a singer and performer. She's also evolved her look from her days as a cute child actress. She's even said that playing the famous role was a bit damaging for her:

So it's great to see that there's no hard feelings here, and that Miley is happily referring back to that old part of her life without any angst.

During the show, Cyrus also gave insight into what had happened to her famous character: "A lot of drugs." Miley, no! My childhood! What are you doing??

Here's the video of Miley dancing along to the footage and memorable theme song:

Also hilarious? Miley's dancing at the after-party:

It looks like it was, uh, a SUPER fun time.
