Ashley Tisdale provides examples of the following tropes:

• All Girls Want Bad Boys: "Hot Mess"
• Break Up Song: "Over It", "Delete You", "Overrated", "It's Alright, It's Okay"
• Cut Song: The "Guilty Pleasure" song, which was recorded for the Guilty Pleasure album.
• Dye Hard / Dyeing for Your Art
• Hair of Gold: As Maddie Fitzpatrick and Sharpay Evans.
  • Although it may have changed when she reverted to brunette and back again.
• Heterosexual Life Partners: With HSM co-star Vanessa Hudgens.
• I Am Not Spock: She is still mainly associated with her role as Sharpay.
• Intercourse with You: "He Said She Said", "Headstrong", "Don't Touch"
• Large Ham: She was the local Ham in HSM and is Candace Flynn. One wonders how she holds up her voice from the constant screaming.
  • Averted as Savannah in Hellcats, where she managed to be a lot more restrained.
• Ms. Fanservice: In most of her music videos, and as Bethany in Aliens in the Attic.
  • Not to mention playing a freaking cheerleader.
    • And posing nude for a national magazine.
• New Sound Album: Guilty Pleasure was a pop rock record.
• Older Than They Look: She's in her mid-twenties and yet in every role she's played, she's in high school or college.
• Platonic Life Partners: With HSM co-star Zac Efron.
• Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: Most prominently with Vanessa Hudgens. They even have their own Portmanteau Couple Name, "Ashnessa".
• She's All Grown Up: Why she took part in Allure's annual nude celeb photo shoot ("I want people to notice I'm a grown woman"; she is 26). Although the fact she had her own offshoot Disney Channel movie reprising her High School Musical role just a few months later doesn't exactly help her cause.
• She's Got Legs
• Silly Love Songs: "We'll Be Together", "Me Without You"
• Spiritual Successor: To Britney Spears, music-wise. on her first album.
