'Suite Life' Star Hits The Mall

Headed to the malls to bring their fans their music..

Fifteen and twenty years ago, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, and New Kids On The Block headed to the malls to bring their fans their music. Thousands of screaming, hysterical teenagers headed to those malls and years later, some things haven't change. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and , star Ashley Tisdale will head out her own nationwide mall tour, and kicked things off today in Columbus, OH at the Polaris Mall.
On Tuesday, October 16, Tisdale will perform at Orland Square in Chicago, IL. She'll also head to Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Nashville, Minneapolis, and Kansas City. Her last scheduled date is November 1 in Dallas, though it is rumored that more shows will be announced soon.
At each stop, Tisdale will be teaming up with local radio stations to bring her music live to her fans. She has also teamed up with the clothing company, Ecko Red, becoming their spokesperson and hosting fashion shows during her tour. According to her website, a contest is being held where the winners will get to walk in the show and meet Tisdale.
It is appropriate that TIsdale will use malls as her venue for her tour, supporting her album Headstrong. "I was discovered by a talent scout at a local mall," she said in an interview with Variety. The tickets are free, which means fans (and their parents) will be clamoring for a good view of the 22 year old Disney sensation. To help promote her tour, she is appearing on Good Morning America on October 19 and Live with Regis and Kelly on October 22.
When her tour wraps, Tisdale has lots to keep her busy. She will be doing nationwide radio interviews in support of her album, which she will be re-releasing and doing three music videos for. She is also working on her first starring role in the movie, Picture This, as BuddyTV reported. Though it has not been confirmed, there's always the possibility we'll be seeing Sharpay Evans one last time in High School Musical 3.
