Lisa Reveals How This Hannah Montana Song Changed Her Life
The singer and White Lotus star also talked about meeting Justin Bieber for the first time
Lisa opened up about the track that led to her debut as a member of Blackpink to her rise as a solo artist, and beyond.
During a playful Q&A with The Guardian, Lisa credited Hannah Montana, the beloved Disney Channel character famously played by Miley Cyrus, for launching her musical aspirations. When asked which song changed her life, Lisa replied, “I auditioned for Blackpink in Thailand by singing Ice Cream Freeze (Let’s Chill) by Hannah Montana, so Miley Cyrus.” She added, “There must have been 1,000 people, so I never thought I would get picked. It’s a fun song and good to dance to, so I think it really suited my style.”
Elsewhere, Lisa also chatted about knowing all the lyrics to 2010’s “Baby” by Justin Bieber and Ludacris, and how when she met Bieber a few years ago, she was “too shy” to “tell him how much I loved him.”
The Blackpink singer did, however, get to gush to Rihanna in person, and also said that the Anti icon’s track “Work” is the best song to play at a party.
Lisa, who joined the cast for the third season of White Lotus, stopped by Hot Ones last month and took on the wing-eating challenge. In between bites of spicy chicken, Lisa told host Sean Evans how her new album, Alter-Ego, showcases five characters that “express a different version of me.”
In a Rolling Stone review of the album, which dropped in February, writer Maura Johnston says that Lisa “shines brightest in the moments when her sturdy, yet winsome singing takes center stage,” and that her “versatility is clearly a strength,” helping “make Alter Ego feel like an encouraging first step in her figuring out how where her solo career might go.”

HELENA, Mont — Gov. Greg Gianforte is backing a new effort to keep data centers from driving up Montanans’ power bills.
This week, Gianforte announced Montana is signing on to the Ratepayer Protection Pledge — an initiative endorsed by President Trump.
Several major technology companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and XAI first signed the pledge back in March.
The pledge comes as data center development continues to grow — raising questions about how much new energy will be needed and who will pay for it.
NBC Montana spoke with Julia Haggerty, professor of geography and department head of earth sciences at Montana State University, about whether Montana’s power grid is ready for that growth.
“Not without resolution of significant transmission bottlenecks and massive amounts of new generation. So, while our grid is adequately, relatively adequately equipped to serve the needs of our current load base, it’s definitely not equipped to accommodate the new demands without a lot of expansion,” she said.
According to the pledge, data center developers will pay for new power generation, and infrastructure needed to support their operations.
“It does align with ongoing regulatory efforts to ensure that the cost of new generation associated with data centers is borne by the developers of those data centers and not customers,” Haggerty said.
The governor’s office says Gianforte’s support of the pledge is designed to encourage responsible data center investments while protecting Montana ratepayers from long-term costs.
