A Surprising Discovery: Tisdale’s Daughter Gets Hooked on High School Musical

Ashley Tisdale is no stranger to the limelight. Known for her iconic role as Sharpay Evans in High School Musical, Tisdale’s legacy in Disney Channel history is cemented. But recently, Tisdale found herself in an amusing—and somewhat embarrassing—situation when her three-year-old daughter, Jupiter, discovered her mother’s famous role in the High School Musical series. The discovery has left Tisdale, 39, laughing while also feeling a little self-conscious as her daughter becomes obsessed with the movie franchise and makes her newfound fandom very public.

While Tisdale has long been known for her portrayal of Sharpay Evans, one of Disney’s most memorable characters, it wasn’t until her family attended a High School Musical stage adaptation—where her niece played Sharpay—that Jupiter truly became enchanted with the songs and the characters. What began as a curious interest has quickly turned into an all-consuming obsession for the toddler, who now constantly requests that Tisdale play songs from the films.

“I just feel so embarrassed when I’m walking into a store and she’s like, ‘We’re all in this together,’” Tisdale shared in a candid TikTok video. “It’s really sweet, but after a good week straight of listening to the music again, we’re good. We don’t need to watch this again.” Despite the embarrassment, Tisdale could only laugh at how much her daughter loves the music, particularly the quirky and lesser-known track Humuhumunukunukuapua’a from High School Musical 2.

Jupiter’s Love for Sharpay: “I’m Sharpay’s Baby!”

The High School Musical franchise has always had a huge fanbase, but Ashley Tisdale’s daughter is clearly embracing the franchise in a way that only a child can. In her TikTok video, Tisdale explained how her daughter not only enjoys the music but also loudly declares, “I’m Sharpay’s baby!” in public, leaving her mother both amused and a little self-conscious.

“My daughter will not stop listening to the music,” Tisdale explained, as she recounted how Jupiter insists on playing the songs during their daily activities, from walks to car rides. “Her favorite song is Humuhumunukunukuapua’a—I hate that song. I’m having to listen to it over and over.”

Humuhumunukunukuapua’a is an oddball track from High School Musical 2, originally featured in a deleted scene and later added to the DVD edition and Disney+ streaming platform. The song, sung by Sharpay (Tisdale) and her brother Ryan (Lucas Grabeel), is a fun, quirky number that plays with Hawaiian words and the tale of a princess searching for a prince. It’s one of the more out-of-the-box songs in the series, and it’s not hard to see why it’s caught the attention of Tisdale’s young daughter, who is thoroughly enjoying the catchy tunes.

Fans React to Tisdale’s Humorous Predicament

As Tisdale shared her humorous plight with her fans, reactions flooded in, with many expressing sympathy for her predicament. Some fans couldn’t resist teasing her about her daughter’s newfound love for the High School Musical series, joking that it was her fault for introducing her child to the music. One fan humorously commented, “The funniest part is I just know people think YOU did this to her.” Another said, “She’s everything I hoped Ashley Tisdale’s daughter would be.”

But the fun didn’t stop there. Many fans couldn’t help but eagerly speculate about how much more fun Tisdale’s daughter would have once she discovered her mom’s other iconic role. “Wait until she discovers you’re THE Candace Flynn,” one fan wrote, referring to Tisdale’s beloved voice role as Candace Flynn in the hit animated series Phineas and Ferb. Fans are already excited to see how Jupiter reacts when she eventually discovers more of her mother’s notable characters and roles—each with its own catchy theme song.
