In 2006, Teegarden joined the cast of the TV series Friday Night Lights, starring Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton. She played Julie Taylor, the eldest daughter of Eric Taylor, a high school head football coach and Tami Taylor, an aspiring high school guidance counsellor. Teegarden held this role until the show ended in 2011.
On August 24, 2007, during the Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant, Teegarden posed the question ("Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?") that led to an infamous reply by contestant Caitlin Upton.[2]
In 2008, she starred in a music video for the Hinder song "Without You" alongside Kellan Lutz. In 2009, Teegarden guest starred in three episodes of the CW’s 90210 as Rhonda, a West Beverly student who crosses paths with Ethan Ward.[3] Teegarden appeared as a guest star on Legend of the Seeker, portraying a teenage girl who just found out she was a confessor. She also appeared in an episode of CSI: Miami and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
In 2010, it was reported she had been cast to star as Amanda Miles in the Warner Premiere and Dolphin Entertainment action webseries Aim High alongside Jackson Rathbone.[4][5] The show premiered on October 18, 2011 on Facebook being the first "social series" ever created.[6]
In 2011, Teegarden had a small supporting role in the slasher film Scream 4[7] as a horror loving high schooler. Also in 2011, Teegarden played the role of Nova Prescott, an overachieving high school student in the Disney film Prom. Her character is a senior in high school, bound for Georgetown University after graduation, trying to put together a high school prom while also dealing with love, heartbreak, and pressure from her parents. She falls in love with the school bad boy Jesse Richter, played by Thomas McDonell in the film.
In May 2011, she was named "TV Actress of the Year" by Young Hollywood Awards for her work on Friday Night Lights.[8]
In June 2011, she became attached to war drama Love and Honor, which also stars Liam Hemsworth and Teresa Palmer.[9]
In February 2012, it was announced that Teegarden and AnnaSophia Robb had landed a role in Life at These Speeds opposite Douglas Booth.[10] The same month, she was cast as the female lead in the pilot for The CW series The Selection.[11] The pilot, however, was not picked up to air in the fall.[12] It will be reworked and is expected to be picked up for midseason or next season.
