Chappell is everywhere these days - and Miley is totally aware!
On Monday, the 26-year-old artist graced popular TikToker Drew Afualo's podcast The Comment Section.
Being a self-proclaimed long-time Hannah Montana fan, she expressed the highs and lows of fame while simultaneously heavily relating to the fictional Disney Channel pop star.
"Miley invited me to a party, and I was like, 'You don't know that you were my first concert when the Jonas Brothers were opening for you.'"
She continued, "All these things that are happening to me now are just kind of icing on the cake. I never thought I could fly first class. You know what I mean?"
The Casual singer also discussed how attending a Miley concert as a kid shaped her understanding of fandom, per People.
"Little fourth-grade me was like, 'I guess I gotta cry, too," she laughed while admitting she didn't completely understand at the time.
One of the biggest things Chappell loved about Miley's breakout character Hannah Montana was how she was able to hide her identity, and wishes she could've gone back in time to do the same before gaining popularity.

Chappell misses the pre-fame days of "doing drugs in public" and the freedom of doing whatever she wants, whenever she wants.
"If I were to be able to start this all over, I don’t think it’s realistic to do a Daft Punk thing, but I wish I would have, you know? Like, a helmet. Same with Mr. Marshmello," the Red Wine Supernova singer stated.
"But I love that Hannah had two different personalities because it’s my f*cking hair that gets me in trouble all the time. So, I wish I would’ve done her."
One funny thing she misses in particular is going to Forever 21 without feeling "judged."
"I'm in disguise most of the time. But like, I miss just walking around by myself," she stated.
In addition to getting recognized, she also admitted that people have been "freaks," and it makes her feel unsafe. Fellow pop singers have reached out to offer their support, however.
"To have people I look up to reach out and offer like a friend or help, I don't know, it's just sick and it makes me believe in the world," the Picture You singer said.
