Everybody loves a good crossover. So, what would it look like if the world of "Hannah Montana" met that of "Big Little Lies"?

Miley Cyrus got everyone tuning into her Instagram show "Bright Minded" thinking exactly that on Wednesday when she revealed to Reese Witherspoon that the two series share one major connection.

"I don't know if you knew that Madeline Martha Mackenzie and Hannah Montana lived in the same house," the "Slide Away" singer joked while pulling up a side-by-side comparison of the homes their characters lived in during their respective series. "Maybe even at the same time."

Witherspoon plays Madeline in the popular HBO drama.

As the 44-year-old gasped in shock, Cyrus continued, "So there might be a plot twist here that you actually had a roommate ... that you lived with Hannah Montana."

It's unquestionable that both series used the same beach house for their exterior shots. However, the home has undergone some renovations in the time between "Hannah Montana" ended and "Big Little Lies" began.

"I knew I knew that house from somewhere!" laughed a delighted Witherspoon.

Revelation aside, the two also discussed other topics including how they select their respective acting roles to how they combat boredom while in isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cyrus also welcomed fellow Disney star Hilary Duff during Wednesday's show, along with Dua Lipa and Bebe Rexha.
