In 2008, they starred in the Disney Channel Original film Camp Rock as Caitlyn Gellar, an aspiring music producer. Their reception in Camp Rock was particularly strong, with various media outlets suggesting it was about time they played a main character role having backed up for other big names such as Will Smith and Eminem. Stoner starred as Alice McKinley in the film Alice Upside Down , based loosely on the Alice series, particularly The Agony of Alice by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. This was their second starring role and, according to an interview that appears on the direct-to-DVD release, they stated that this was the first time they had to appear in every scene in a film.
In 2008, they sang two songs, "Lost and Found" and "Free Spirit", from the soundtrack of Alice Upside Down, in which they played the lead role. They have also recorded a cover version of the song Dancing in the Moonlight for the 2009 Space Buddies .

[4] The same year, Stoner returned to reprise their role as Caitlyn Gellar in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam , a sequel to Camp Rock. Stoner also guest-starred in the television drama series House as a skater.
In 2011, Stoner started working with record producers, songwriters and a vocal coach to change her vocal style from "kiddie-pop" to a more soulful pop vibe with a little alternative edge for their first studio album.

After choreography training in Los Angeles, Stoner appeared as a backup dancer in several music videos, notably Missy Elliott's "Work It", "Gossip Folks", "I'm Really Hot", Eminem's "Just Lose It", and "No Tengo Dinero" by the Kumbia Kings. They have also been a backup dancer for Outkast at the 2004 Kids' Choice Awards and for Will Smith at the 2005 show. Stoner danced with a dancing group called The JammX Kids between 2003 and 2006.

In March 2018, Stoner came out in an article on Teen Vogue , stating they were "attracted to men, women, and people who identify in other ways." [11] Later that year they stated in an interview "I don't feel comfortable labeling my sexual orientation or even faith at the moment." [12] In June 2023, Stoner stated that they use they/them pronouns and they had been fired from a television show after coming out as queer. [13] [14]
Stoner has been open about their struggles with mental health and disordered eating. According to Stoner, they first developed anxiety at age six due to the high-stress environment of working in the entertainment industry with symptoms including heart palpitations, hair loss, and seizures. [15] In 2011, at age 17, they were hospitalized and checked themselves into rehab facility for eating disorders, having struggled with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder for years.
