Country star TAYLOR SWIFT is set to team up with close friend MILEY CYRUS – she has signed on to appear in HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE.

The 18-year-old singer is close pals with Cyrus – who shot to fame in the hit kids TV show – and can’t wait to work alongside her in the upcoming film version of the Disney series.

She tells People.com, “I’m making a cameo, so I’m so excited about that. I’m playing one of my own songs and just in the background of one of the scenes.

“Miley Cyrus is awesome. I love her so much. She is so incredibly funny and sweet! It’s fun to get to see her, because we both have been on the road constantly, and with us both in Nashville (Tennessee) now, it will be cool to get to hang out with her.”
