On this Throwback Thursday, let’s travel back to a simpler time when Hilary Duff was the No. 1 “It Girl” and Miley Cyrus was a star on the rise. In a vintage video, Miley appears on Much On Demand (which according to my Canadian co-worker, is “basically a Canadian TRL”) and takes a call from a supposed fan named Hailey who asks her how she decided to get involved in the business. The twiiiist? It’s actually Hilary Duff on the phone, and Miley is straight up starstruck at the reveal.

Because the #tbt gods must have known we’d one day look back on this video in a much changed pop culture landscape, Miley literally thanks Duff for “making it cool to be a good girl.” Ah, to be a tween star.

Though their celebrity personas are slightly different all these years later, the two former Disney stars are killing it as their older, authentic selves. For a refresher, check out Miley’s Happy Hippy Foundation backyard sessions, and watch Duff on the new Darren Star show “Younger.”
