With the very first episode of Hannah Montana airing exactly 10 years ago, Miley Cyrus has paid tribute to the character who made her famous.

Because the singer is now a pop culture renegade who hangs out with The Flaming Lips, she actually joked in an Instagram post that the fictional teen superstar is "chopped up into little tiny pieces and buried in my backyard". So don't expect a reunion episode any time soon.

Butchering joke aside, the singer's Instagram post remembering her time on the popular Disney Channel series - which ran for nearly 100 episodes and even spawned its own film - is actually pretty sweet.

"Even though I feel disconnected to who I was at that time I will always feel eternally grateful for the opportunity and platform I was given," she wrote. "None of it would have been possible with out every single person who ever contributed to the series."

She added later in the post: "Even though HM is chopped up into little tiny pieces and buried in my backyard she will always hold a very special place in my heart!" She then encouraged fans to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary by playing a Hannah Montana drinking game, which is surely the perfect union of "old Miley" and "new Miley".
