Hilary Duff gave Disney Channel fans a night to remember. At her recent tour stop in Mountain View, California, the singer and actress performed two tracks from The Lizzie McGuire Movie, sending the crowd straight back to 2003.
This Is What Dreams Are Made Of
The Lizzie McGuire Movie followed Duff’s beloved Disney Channel character on a class trip to Rome, where a case of mistaken identity turned her into an overnight pop star. The film’s soundtrack became a defining piece of early 2000s Disney nostalgia, and hearing its songs performed live more than two decades later was a bucket list moment for the fans in attendance. Video of the performance can be found over at LaughingPlace.
Duff’s Disney Roots Run Deep
Duff starred as Lizzie McGuire on Disney Channel from 2001 to 2004, becoming one of the network’s biggest breakout stars and launching a music career that produced multiple platinum albums. A Lizzie McGuire revival series was famously announced for Disney+ before being shelved, leaving fans to hold onto moments like this one instead.
The nostalgic performance comes as Duff is back on the road for her first tour in years, and the setlist surprise suggests she is embracing the era that made her a household name rather than running from it. For longtime fans, that is the best possible news.
Disney nostalgia is having a big summer all around. The Jonas Brothers, another act that defined a Disney Channel generation, will record a live show at D23 on the same day they become Disney Legends next month.
