While on the High School Musical: The Concert Tour, Katelyn decided she wanted to explore a solo musical career and was signed by Alfred Records Latin after seeing her perform on tour. Alfred Records president was surprised she wanted a spanish language album, even though she sang English on High School Musical. Katelyn expressed that she wanted to change her name on her debut studio album. She recorded her album during the last two months of the HSM: The Concert and released her first single "Si Mi Besas" in May 8, 2007. On June 5, 2007 Lola released her debut studio album Erase Una Vez (Once Upon A Time) and immediately went on the short Erase Una Vez Tour to promote it while rehearsing for High School Musical 2.

Lola had plans for a second album but instead went into television for a new Disney Channel show Hannah Montana, where she played the mother "Lola Stewart" and manager of Jesse Del Rey's undercover popstar "Jesse Stewart". The first episode of season 1 premiered March 24, 2008. The show had the highest television rating that year and a successful soundtrack that led to Del Rey touring the ficitional character and releasing his first solo studio album. Lola joined Del Rey on tour to perform a couple of songs with him.
On October 24 - November 28, 2008 she starred in the final installment of the HSM triology, High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The musical run was short because of ticket sales, and the original cast becoming more busy, successful and venturing out in their careers.
