For many Millennials and Gen Z'ers, the High School Musical films were appointment viewing, and the character of Sharpay played by Ashley Tisdale was one of the franchise's icons.

She was kind of the Cher Horowitz-meets-Regina George of her day, and with Tisdale's roster of other Disney hits like The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Phineas and Ferb, she's basically Disney royalty.

And her daughter wants everyone to know it!

In a TikTok, Tisdale shared that her 4-year-old daughter Juniper is as obsessed with HSM as all the kids were back in the day. So much so that she's developed a habit of telling total strangers who her mom is.

I knew this day would come 😅

Tisdale told her followers:

“I don't know what kind of karma this is, but Jupiter saw my niece in High School Musical the play last weekend."
"I think seeing my niece in the play, play me, has just changed her.”

High School Musical 2 has become a particular favorite of her daughter's, and the songs from the franchise are basically following them everywhere they go. It's playing in the house, it's on the car stereo. She can't get enough!

Unfortunately for Tisdale, her favorite song is also the one she hates the most—the lesser known track "Humuhumunukunukuapua’a," which Tisdale said she can't stand.

But that's got nothing on Juniper's other HSM-related habit.

"She screams out in public, 'I'm Sharpay's baby!' I literally can't."
"I just feel so embarrassed when I'm walking into a store."

Tisdale, of course, can't help but laugh, but admitted the whole thing's getting a little old.

"After, like, a good week straight of listening to the music again, it's like, okay, we're good. We don't need to watch this again!"

But you will, and you'll like it! Juniper says so!

On TikTok, Tisdale's fans found the whole thing as adorable and hilarious as she did.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
