Television

Holt began her acting career in local theater productions.[7] She started appearing in television commercials at the age of 10, for products including Hasbro, Kidz Bop 14, Mattel, Bratz dolls, Littlest Pet Shop, and Girl Gourmet.[8][9]

Possessing skills in gymnastics, Holt was cast in Disney XD's martial arts comedy Kickin' It, which premiered on June 13, 2011.[10] She played the role of Kim in the series, as a main character in seasons 1–3, and as a special guest on three episodes in season 4.[11] She starred in the 2012 Disney Channel Original Movie Girl vs. Monster, playing the lead character Skylar Lewis, a teenager who discovers that her family have long worked as monster hunters, and she is next in line.[12] She left Kickin' It as a regular after season 3 to star in the Disney Channel half-hour comedy series I Didn't Do It, which premiered on January 17, 2014. The series follows five friends, including Holt's character, Lindy Watson, a nerdy, athletic, social outcast.[13] The series ended on October 16, 2015, after two seasons.[14][15] In January 2017, Holt was cast as Tandy Bowen / Dagger, one of the lead characters in the Freeform and Marvel Comics television series Cloak & Dagger.[16][17] The series premiered in June 2018 and ran for two seasons until May 2019, after which it was canceled.[18] Holt, along with her Cloak & Dagger co-star Aubrey Joseph, returned to voice their respective characters on the Disney XD animated series Spider-Man and reprised their roles for a two-episode stint in the third and final season of Runaways. Holt plays Kate Wallis on the series Cruel Summer, a psychological thriller set between 1993 and 1995 that premiered on Freeform on April 20, 2021.[19]

In November 2014, Holt joined the cast of the drama Same Kind of Different as Me, directed by Michael Carney and also starring Greg Kinnear and Renée Zellweger,[20] who play her character's parents in the film.[21] The film was released in October 2017.[22] In November 2015, it was announced that Holt had been cast in a lead role in the indie comedy Class Rank, directed by Eric Stoltz.[23] In May 2016, it was announced that she would star alongside Ross Lynch in Status Update, directed by Scott Speer, with filming to commence the following month in Vancouver, Canada.[24][25]

In April 2017, she was picked as Elvis Duran's Artist of the Month appearing on NBC's Today show with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford performing her hit "History". Her single "Generous", which was written by Fransisca Hall and MoZella, was released on September 22, 2017. The song's music video was directed by Chris Applebaum.[33] "Generous" reached number 1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.[34] In 2018, she collaborated with Martin Jensen on "16 Steps"[35] and with Nicky Romero on "Distance".[36] The same year, she released the single "Bad Girlfriend".[37]

Her 2020 single "Love U Again" featuring R3hab reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot Dance / Electronic Songs chart.[38][34] It was followed by "Take Me Out of It" later that year.[39] Through early 2021 she released the singles "Do You Miss Me"[40] and "Love On You".[41] She also covered The Smashing Pumpkins song "Today" for the TV series in which she stars Cruel Summer.[42] On June 11, 2021, a compilation EP called "In My Feelings" was released, containing her previous released singles. On June 25, 2021, she released the single "Next", co-written with Meghan Trainor.[41]
