Behind the Scenes Exclusive With Hannah Montana

Jan. 25, 2008 — -- Hannah Montana is the hottest ticket in the nation!

Thousands of pre-teens lined up to grab tickets for her 58-city sold out concert tour, which has bolstered the actress and singer who plays Montana into mega star.

The 15-year-old superstar, or Miley Cyrus, as she's known in real life, ranked No. 17 on Forbes List of 20 Top-Earning Young Superstars last year thanks to her Hannah Montana success.

The tween sensation, who pulled in $50 million from her tour and merchandising, took "Good Morning America" behind the scenes of the current Hannah Montana Tour.

Backstage Antics

Like a typical teen, Miley enjoys texting messaging during her down time on tour and eating cookie dough ice cream.

Miley also likes goofy photos and playing the video game "Guitar Hero" backstage.

She also has an affinity for purses and sales bargains and Miley proudly displayed her latest inexpensive purse fetch.

In her dressing room, Miley showed off her make-up, wigs and her style role model.

"One day, I'm going to cut my hair like that. I know I am," Miley says of legendary model Twiggy's pixie haircut. "I will one day … I'm just not sure when."

Balancing Act

With Miley's career going full steam ahead, she says she doesn't know yet if she prefers music or acting and is going to keep pursuing both.

Her 3-D movie called "The Best of Both Worlds" is based on her sold out shows and is headed to movie theaters Feb. 1 for a one-week showing.

"I mean, this 3-D movie was like a really cool thing because I got to do both. … My Dad the other day, when we were sitting in the, um, theater watching the premiere, he was like, 'I've learned one thing from this movie.' I was like, 'What's that?' And he was like, 'I need a better conditioner.' It was the best!"

Family Girl

Miley and her dad, country music sensation Billy Ray Cyrus, are very close. "Me and my Daddy, we're always like hanging out," she says.

"My goal for Miley is to be happy. As long as she's happy and loving what she's doing, then it's all good," says Billy Ray.

Billy Ray says he's not worried about the onslaught of potential boys coming after Miley's hear.

"I know that Miley likes boys," Bill Ray says. "She makes a lot of friends, you know, and sometimes that's misconstrued as boyfriends."

And Miley's mother insists the teen isn't spoiled.

"She's just treated like any normal 15-year-old. After this show's over, if there's any type of disrespect, or she, you know, I don't know like, anything, she's grounded, just like a normal teenager," says Miley's mom, Leticia "Tish" Cyrus.

Somehow despite her busy schedule and huge success, Miley even manages to remain close to her siblings.

"They're really cool," says Miley. "My brother, I mean, he's more like, he would rather be hanging out with his friends."

Contest Scandal

Last year a scandal erupted after a 6-year-old won Hannah Montana concert tickets in a contest by writing an essay about her father who died in Iraq. After she won, her mother admitted it was all a lie and the essay was a fake.

"I was really kind of upset. It definitely was upsetting because, I mean, that's just not a cool scenario. But it was like, you know, it's just showing what people will do for a ticket," says Miley.

"People are paying thousands and thousands of dollars to come see one show. And, I mean, so many crazy things people are doing to come. So we have to give 120 percent each time."

Tour Bus

Miley took "GMA's" Marysol Castro on to her luxury tour bus, where she lives nowadays. All over the walls Miley had posted collages she'd made one day when she says she was bored.

Miley makes sure that she keeps the bus, which looks more like a dorm room, smelling yummy.

"I'm allergic to cinnamon, so cinnamon candles are my favorite," she says.

Life in the limelight doesn't seem to have gotten to Miley's head. Though she performs almost every single night and her life is under a microscope, she's weathering the attention -- good and bad.

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure I've been called every name in the book, and so it keeps me going strong. I try not to just like analyze it over and over. My mom always says, 'For every, you know, 10,000 people that love you, there's going to be another handful of 10,000 people that don't.' And it's like, there's nothing that you can change. So that's all right."
