Her musical influences include Mariah Carey, Elton John, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and many '80 songs.[1][37] In a AOL.com interview, Tisdale stated, "I’ve been a big fan of P!nk ever since she started. I love Katy’s sense of humor and her pop/rock feel. -- I love Pat Benatar's music. I’m inspired by all these women when I’m going into the studio, but almost anything inspires me."[38]

Products and endorsement

In October 2007, Tisdale signed a promotional deal for the Eckō Red clothing brand in which she toured malls across the U.S. Tisdale functioned as spokesperson and performed in conjunction with fashion shows hosted at each mall.[39] In 2008, Tisdale teamed up with Huckleberry Toys to produce a limited edition of dolls modelled after herself.

Public image and personal life

Tisdale underwent a rhinoplasty procedure on November 30, 2007. According to Tisdale, this was done for health-related reasons and not out of a belief in plastic surgery; her "septum was 80 percent deviated" and she had "two small fractures on [her] nose", and this was interfering with her breathing. She spoke to People magazine about the surgery, saying that it was important to her to be honest with her fans.[45]
