The special comes after Miley broken her silence after it was revealed that she is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Maxx.
Hours after the Daily Mail confirmed the news, Miley spoke to PEOPLE about the milestone in her four-year relationship with Maxx.
While Miley didn't share any details about how Maxx proposed, she did reveal why she's been been left 'astounded' by the engagement.
'The detail that I can share is that for us, our privacy and us kind of keeping it small has been something that I've been astounded that I've actually been able to have and being able to kind of have more choice,' she revealed.
The Disney alum added: 'I think it's also being older, being more protective of what I'm open to sharing.'

She first sparked engagement rumors in December when she flashed a ring on her wedding finger while on the red carpet at the Avatar: Fire And Ash premiere in Los Angeles.
While speaking to PEOPLE, she connected the film's themes to the events in her own life as it's 'about love, family resilience and kind of reconnection and that stronger together idea.
'And so I thought it was kind of perfectly thematic and aligned with where I am in my life now.'
Miley notably brough Maxx as her plus one to the premiere of the James Cameron-directed blockbuster, for which she penned the ballad Dream As One.
The ring she was wearing was later revealed to be an engagement ring, which was custom-made for Miley by jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche.
The rock, which reportedly cost Maxx $150,000, is a cushion-cut stone set in a 14-karat yellow gold band.
Miley first appeared wearing the ring in photos shared to Instagram in honor of her 33rd birthday on November 23. However, the engagement was entirely unknown to the public at the time.
It was Maxx's father who would go to confirm the engagement by sharing photos of the happy couple from the birthday celebration captioned 'congratulations!'- with Cyrus showing off the ring.
Sources told the Daily Mail that Miley has finally matured enough to be able to 'choose the right guy'.
One insider said: 'Friends are happy for Miley, because Maxx is a really good guy and not the usual guy she goes after.'
A second source said Morando had ingratiated himself well with Cyrus famed family, especially her mother Tish.

As for Miley's dad Billy Ray, the source shared: 'Billy met him a lot more recently and from what I can see, likes him pretty well. The family is very happy with this. No drama.'
Cyrus and Morando's romance began when they went on a blind date in late 2021, however they did not confirm their relationship until the following year.
During an interview with British Vogue in 2023, the actress said of their first date: 'Well, it was blind for me and not really for him. I thought, 'The worst that can happen is I leave.''
The couple mainly keep their relationship out of the public eye, but have been spotted at a few events over the years.
Cyrus has previously talked about her and Maxx's age gap during an interview with Harper's Bazaar in 2024.
'He looks at life really differently than I do,' she said, before adding, 'He grew up with a laptop. I had a desktop computer that I shared with my brothers and sisters.'
Despite him being younger, the singer explained, 'He's very similar to me. We just don't take life too seriously.'
Miley's relationship with Maxx came nearly two years after she finalized her divorce from Liam Hemsworth in January 2020
The former couple, who originally met on set of the film The Last Song, got married in December 2019 after dating on/off since 2009.
But, just eight months later, Cyrus and Hemsworth shockingly separated in August 2019.
By the time their divorce was finalized, they had only been married 13 months.
