People know her as Sharpay, I know her as Maddie from Suite Life

[@AxxLAfriku]

I will now count to 3 and then I am still the unprettiest KZbinr of all time. 1...2...3. Btw I have two girlfriends. Thank you for your attention, dear connie

[@joeyp9524]

Connie Nelson me too she’s still a “sweet thang”

[@Myflopera1]

I know her from both lol

Connie Nelson same love Maddie than Sharpay lmao

some know her as both

What I really want to see is a "Ashley Tisdale react to her 2000's looks"

I saw her wearing army pants and flip flops, so I went and bought army pants and flip flops.

mean girls

[@zomgseriosuly]

literally

[@ariellelillian8644]

The real question is, did she do it bc of them, or did they do it bc of her 🤔

[@ThatFont]

House of Ashes

[@residentevil4life]

surprised she didnt mention Suite Life, High School Musical definitely put her on the spot but the show definitely helped get her there

[@atribecalledlen3567]

residentevil4life trueeeee (that's what I always remember as) but I think High School musical is what made her global

[@michaelmyersplays4992]

High musical was on a different level higher then suite life

[@Vip-ck4lm]

Her laugh is so contagious😂😭

[@dynamicduncan3541]

reminds me of Gabbie Hanna in a way.

Hers and Vanessas lol!

[@sabssads]

lmao she really skipped the argument one 😂

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture8635]

It was probably when she kissed Zac on the suite life 😂

[@1975nish]

"i shouldve said humuhumunukunukuapua'a" omg

[@nataliamiranda677]

I like that one.

[@imanigetup]

Lmao that one always seemed like a fever dream to me, like maybe Troy hallucinated the entire thing

[@Mia-ym2fo]

It’s my favorite one omg

[@chiccaluminosa]

That song was a BOP

[@hanapiercy6557]

ok that’s my fave

[@surfie007]

Why didn’t they talk about Sweet Life Of Zack & Cody?

[@surfie007]

A

[@lalsekerci9529]

Suite life*

[@jassyjones]

surfie007 it’s suite

[@mohammadqadeer2788]

Because BuzzFeed is trash

[@vizelya]

Or phineas and ferb

[@juju7593]

Ashley was best known for being sharpay, maddie, and candice!! Icons!!

[@angiebecker-bailey186]

Her avoiding the question about Vanessa 😂

[@E3g4]

Angie Becker-Bailey I mean she couldn’t really answer it

[@aja3684]

Kawii Crush I see you everywhere 💀

[@astrologylover1184]

But she was Maddie on the suite life of Zack and Cody so wasn’t she was already famous before high school musical? Funny I still think of her as Maddie on suite life before I think of high school musical. Even Candace on Phineas and ferb is something I think of. But for some reason it seems like everybody else just remembers her as Sharpay

[@astrologylover1184]

Including herself apparently

[@astrologylover1184]

I don’t believe no one recognized her before HSM

[@astrologylover1184]

Does anyone else remember hsm coming out and being like oh that’s Maddie

[@shalvipatil6278]

thats cox high school musical was HUGE

[@serenaistheb.o.a.t]

Suite Life was popular, but it wasn't a global phenomenon like the High School Musical trilogy. Ashley Tisdale being part of the High School Musical craze actually brought more attention to The Suite Life.

[@unlinedwork]

Ashley Tisdale saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops so she bought army pants and flip flops.

[@noemistephanie93]

Lol

[@Hannamarin16]

Lol that is exactly what I thought when she said what she wore 😂

[@TheANAROCK10]

"can't take my eyes off of you" was such a bop, don't @ me

[@witchf4ce310]

annie ; worst most forgettable song

[@brenna5957]

I’m confused, she says she was unknown before HSM and that “they always went with the Disney girl” for the movies but she was on Zack & Cody before HSM came out. I thought everyone who watched Disney knew her by then.

[@16050390]

Zenon came out in 1999 and Tru Confessions came out in 2002, both were way before The Suite life of Zack and Cody that came out in 2005. So at the time of those auditions she was not a "Disney girl" yet

[@simpleeye7950]

Yea I'm surprised about the Suite Life thing because that came before HSM.

[@KSMaxiefan01]

​@@16050390 I don't remember Tru Confessions girl being in any disney stuff other than that movie and Kirsten Storms who was Zenon was made a disney girl because of Zenon. She wasn't one before.

[@ouranhshc100]

Not everyone watched Zack and Cody. I knew kids in my middle school back then that never watched it *uncultured people* lol jk

[@lhanz3941]

People remember her as sharpay but i remember her as maddie 😂

love her

You guys have got to come up with a better title for this series

[@zainubaali6704]

She’s so beautiful and cute. I love her.

[@alexmclean1751]

humuhumanukkanukka apuaa was a quality song tyvm

[@Diana-zl3ue]

A big smirk happened on my face when she mentioned the zack rumor. Instantly the j-14 and tiger beat magazine covers and “Good to Me” came into my head

[@liivinglifeinpeace]

Suddenly is such a beautiful song, it meant a lot to me when i was younger. and still does.

[@fief139]

I DIDNT KNOW I NEEDED THIS BUT IM SO GLAD IT’S HERE

@@jvalentino6466 amanda seyfried is known as the mama mia girl though, I dont think of her as karen.
