From Hilary Duff On Performing What Dreams Are Made Of For The First Time Since The Lizzie McGuire Movie · · Hits Radio
“I think after all this time like he is safe for me and he knows everything and he has a front row seat to it all and he is also such an incredible wordsmith. So like I can have this idea and then he's shaped it into something that I could never.”
On , Hilary Duff, Chief Mom Officer at CARTER'S INC, spoke about music production during Hilary Duff On Performing What Dreams Are Made Of For The First Time Since The Lizzie McGuire Movie on Hits Radio.
In May and June 2026, Hilary Duff performed several songs, including "Roommates" and "What Dreams Are Made Of (Mine)," in promotional appearances, such as a live set for SiriusXM. She also appeared on *The Jennifer Hudson Show*, where she discussed returning to music after a decade, describing the process as involving fear and vulnerability. In those interviews, she stated that a significant reason she had not made a record for so long was that she was navigating challenging personal experiences and "relearning parts of myself." She remarked that the big songs from her past, such as "Come Clean" and "Why Not," are part of her muscle memory, while she occasionally invites audience members onstage to sing less familiar tracks. On an episode of Kylie Kelce's podcast *Not Gonna Lie*, Duff spoke about preparing to go on tour with her four children, discussing the need to baby-proof bunks and stock the tour bus. She told Kelce that she had not yet made much progress on the logistics and would need to workshop the setup. On April 30, 2026, Duff delivered the commencement address for Northeastern University's undergraduate class of 2026 at Fenway Park. During her speech, she said that for years she "said yes to almost everything" and that she realized saying no was "redirection" rather than rejection. She urged graduates to remember that "success isn't just about what you achieve. It's about what you choose."
