The Flowers artist, who rose to fame as fictional country star Hannah Montana on Disney Channel, is one of 14 honorees this year.

The legendary award is the "highest honor" Disney "can bestow on anyone," Disney CEO Bob Iger said.

Miley's impact on Disney is undeniable, and her time as Hannah Montana captivated a generation of young viewers who continue to support the Grammy award-winning artist.

Other honorees include influential stars like Angela Bassett, James Cameron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Harrison Ford, and Kelly Ripa.

This award ceremony is a highlight of the three-day D23 event, which promises a weekend of "unparalleled programming" for Disney fans.
