Although the producers of the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical did not initially consider her because of her "good-girl image" on The Suite Life, Tisdale was eventually cast as the popular, narcissistic high school student Sharpay Evans in the 2006 film.[8] High School Musical became Disney Channel's most watched movie that year, with 7.7 million viewers in its US premiere broadcast.[15] The soundtrack, in which Tisdale lent her vocals for several songs, became the top-selling album in the United States that year.[16] Tisdale became the first female artist to debut with two songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "What I've Been Looking For" and "Bop to the Top", both tracks from the film's soundtrack.[9] Due to the popularity earned by Tisdale through her performance in High School Musical, Warner Bros. Records signed her for a recording contract in July 2006 and she started working on her debut album.[17]

Headstrong is Tisdale's US Gold-certified[18] debut album, released in February 2007 via Warner Bros,[19] which debuted at number five on theBillboard 200, with 64,000 copies sold in that week.[19] "Be Good to Me" was released as the album's first single in the December, 2006 and "He Said She Said" was released as the second, in September, 2007.

The success of the first High School Musical film led Tisdale to reprise the role in the 2007 sequel High School Musical 2. She lent vocals for several tracks in the film's soundtrack[8] and her performance in High School Musical 2 was critically acclaimed by many media outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter.[23][24][25] Even more successful than the first film, High School Musical 2 became the most-watched cable-television movie, receiving 17 million viewers on its premiere night.[26] Also in 2007, Tisdale was given the voice role of Candace Flynn, the series' secondary antagonist, in Phineas and Ferb and made a vocal contribution to the show's 2009 soundtrack.[27] The cartoon became television's most-watched animated series among kids and tweens[2] and had very positive reviews.[3][4]
As a producer,[28] Tisdale formed her own production company in 2008 and named it Blondie Girl Productions.[29] Tisdale had her first lead role in the 2008 ABC Family Original Movie Picture This as Mandy Gilbert, an unpopular and bullied teenager, and she also served as the executive producer of the film,[30] which captured 4.3 million total viewers in its debut night.[31]
Tisdale reprised her role as Sharpay Evans in the 2008 Walt Disney Pictures feature film High School Musical 3: Senior Year.[6] Her performance in the film earned her an MTV Movie Award for "Breakthrough Performance Female" in 2009.[32] and acclaim by critics including Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, who labeled her one of film's breakout stars and said her portrayal of Evans makes "narcissism a goofy, bedazzled pleasure",[33] and Mark Kermode, who said Tisdale is 2008's "best supporting actress".[34]High School Musical 3 earned $42 million in its domestic opening weekend, which became the biggest opening for a musical film.[35]
Her second studio album, Guilty Pleasure, was released in 2009.[36] Described by Tisdale as a "rocker and edgier" album,[37] it generated mixed reviews, with a 54% rating on Metacritic,[38] and Billboard claimed the album "doesn't give the singer room to comfortably let loose".[39] Guilty Pleasure debuted at number twelve on the Billboard 200, selling 25,000 copies in its first week, archiving a low commercial performance in comparison with her debut album.[40] The song "It's Alright, It's OK" was released as the album's lead single in April in airplay and digital formats[37] and a second single, "Crank It Up", was later released in October.[41]
Tisdale starred in the 2009 20th Century Fox family feature film Aliens in the Attic as Bethany Pearson,[42] the elder sister of the family and although she is credited as one of the main characters, The New York Times said Tisdale "spends much of the film off screen".[43] The film was a minor success in box office, grossing $60 million worldwide.[44]
