Hilary Duff looked back at the record that launched her on an “epic adventure” on Wednesday. Marking its 22nd anniversary, the singer and actress took to social media to celebrate the release of her second studio album, Metamorphosis.
In a caption posted alongside a series of throwback photos from the early aughts, Duff wrote, “Clearly I had to go digging around the internet for pictures from this time as I’m not sure camera phones even existed.” The artist, whose Y2K looks were wildly popular at the time, joked, “Sadly all my hairstyles ARE very documented.”
She called this era in her career “a huge change in my being,” adding that she “was embarking on something I had no idea would make such an impact on peoples lives, and mine.” Duff said that although she doesn’t think Metamorphosis “doesn’t hold the emotional depth I look for today,” she knows her “14/15 year old self meant every word.”

“It sure as hell also landed on people at the right moment in time and set me off on a pretty epic adventure,” she said. “I remember some of my first shows being in a skate park in San Jose, and very shortly after, stepping out on stage in arenas.” Before signing off, she thanked fans for “showing up the way that you did,” and teased, “To be continued…”
Following her cryptic sign-off on Wednesday, fans reveled in the possibility of new music and hopes of a tour. In an X post, @sarahstarrdust wrote, “is hilary duff doing a metamorphosis anniversary tour?? because that would legitimately heal me.” Another X user, @jdonohue91, remarked, “Hilary Duff literally never acknowledges album anniversaries and now she has posted about two of them this year! Music comeback incoming!!”
Duff last released an album in 2015 with Breathe In. Breathe Out, which debuted at Number Five on the Billboard 200.
