Hilary Duff performs Lizzie McGuire hit What Dreams Are Made Of for first time after revival scrap

Hilary Duff has performed Lizzie McGuire song What Dreams Are Made Of live for the first time.

The 38-year-old star - who played the titular character in two seasons of the Disney Channel sitcom - paid tribute to the beloved series on Monday (19.01.26) as she played the hit track from 2003's Lizzie McGuire Movie during a concert in London.

Hilary was performing at the 02 Shepherd's Bush Empire - her first concert since 2015 - when she closed her set with the tune.

The show has come just days before she releases her new album luck... or something.

Hilary was just 14 years old when she recorded the Disney track for the comedy film, but she's come to "love it" despite not remembering the sessions.

She recently told the Therapuss podcast: "I will say, now I love it. And when I was filming the movie, I loved it.

"It was just a weird time, and it wasn't technically my song. It was a Lizzie McGuire song."

Over two decades on, Hilary admitted it is "a lot of joy" getting to sing the song, and she was excited by the prospect of adding it to her setlist.

She said: "When I sing it now, I feel a lot of joy. I just think there was such a separation back then of me and my music and Lizzie McGuire.

 

"I didn't really get to perform that song live, because I didn't own it.

"But if I would ever tour again, I think maybe I would be allowed to manage to sing that song somehow….some way. Maybe, maybe. Hypothetically."

The sitcom was in line for a Disney+ revival, but plans were scrapped as in late 2020 over creative differences between the star and producers.

She added to Therapuss last year: "I think that there was just disagreements on how far we could take [Lizzie] and where she is, as you know, she would have been when we were filming that 30 or 31.

"And for me, I was that age and so I just also felt so deeply connected to her as a character because we were the same...

"And I was like, oh, man, we can't Mary Tyler Moore her that's not, I don't know, it was 2023. You know what I mean?

"There's social media and we weren't I wasn't trying to have her wake up and do bong rips or anything, but she was a normal 30-year-old, you know?

"So, there was some things I think they just weren't like, totally willing to go there."
