Emily Osment, who played Lilly Truscott, Miley’s best friend, didn’t appear in the special at all.

She confirmed the reason herself, explaining that she was busy filming her other show, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. So basically, it was just a scheduling conflict, and she wasn’t able to take part.

Mitchel Musso, who played Oliver Oken, another of Miley’s closest friends, also didn’t appear in the special, and he hasn’t given a clear public reason for his absence.

He has stayed fairly quiet, but there’s been a lot of discussion around his past with Disney. Some viewers have pointed out that Disney has gradually distanced itself from him over the years, and he’s been less involved in projects compared to his Hannah Montana days.

Drew Roy was completely absent from the special. He played one of Miley’s love interests on the show, but hasn’t been in the spotlight much in recent years, so it’s likely he simply wasn’t involved or available.

Brooke Shields, who played Miley’s mum, Susan Stewart, was also missing. She appeared in the show in emotional and dream sequences, but she didn’t take part in the anniversary special. As per the Mirror, she had previously said, “Hannah was my baby girl. So, oh God, my daughter loved the show. We brought her to a taping, and I failed to explain to her that when I called [Miley] ‘baby girl,’ she wasn’t being replaced by this girl that she was on stage!”

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift appeared in Hannah Montana: The Movie, performing “Crazier” and contributing to the soundtrack. However, she did not feature in the anniversary special.

But despite that, Miley said in the documentary, “Taylor was at the beginning of her career. They were looking for someone that would authentically, no shade, be performing in a barn. We both performed in the barn!”
