Fans are gearing up to get the best of both worlds from Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus.
The former Disney Channel stars are releasing new songs on the same day and reacted by posting a nostalgic clip from their time on “Hannah Montana.”
The scene in question is when Cyrus’ Hannah Montana, aka Miley Stewart, is at a telethon with her frenemy and musical rival Mikayla Skeech, portrayed by Gomez. Both singers are on the phone as they take digs at each other.
Hannah picks up the phone asking what the person would like to give to charity, only to realize it’s Mikayla calling her to tell her she’d like to give her singing lessons. The two continue taking shots at one another about their new songs.
