In 1989 - demselben Jahr, in dem sie in einer Produktion von Jesus Christ Superstar in Tennessee auftrat - gelang ihr der Abschluss eines neuen Vertrages mit Arista. Tillis veröffentlichte ihr Label-Debüt, Put Yourself in My Place, in 1991, und ihre Lead Single "Don't Tell Me What to Do" schoss in die Top Five - der lang ersehnte Durchbruch. Von den insgesamt fünf Singles des Albums schafften es auch "One of Those Things" und "Maybe It Was Memphis" in die Top Ten (wie auch das Album selbst). Das Anschlussalbum Homeward Looking Angel (1992) war ebenso erfolgreich, und die Singles "Shake the Sugar Tree" und "Let That Pony Run" schafften es beide in die Top Five. 1994 coproduzierte Tillis ihr drittes Album für Arista, Sweetheart's Dance, dass sich als ihr bisher größter Erfolg erwies und ihr die ACM-Auszeichnung als "Female Vocalist of the Year" eintrug. "Spilled Perfume", "When You Walk in the Room" und "In Between Dances" schafften es sämtlich in die Top Five, und "Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)" wurde ihre erste Nr. 1. Das Ende 1995 veröffentlichte All of This Love war das erste Album, das Tillis selbst produzierte, und trug ihr Top Ten-Platzierungen für "Deep Down" und "The River and the Highway" ein. Zwei neue Songs aus dem Sammelalbum Greatest Hits (1997) - "All the Good Ones Are Gone" und "Land of the Living" - schafften es ebenfalls in die Top Five.
Every Time (1998) spiegelte ihre gerade hinter sich gebrachte Scheidung von Songwriter Bob DiPiero wider und verschaffte ihr einen Beinahe-Top Ten-Hit mit "I Said a Prayer". Eine Umstrukturierung bei Arista verzögerte die Veröffentlichung von Thunder and Roses bis 2001. Tillis nutzte diese Zeit zu einem Auftritt in der Broadway-Show Smokey Joe's Cafe, einem Tribut an Leiber & Stoller. Thunder and Roses zeigte, dass Tillis' kommerzielle Anziehungskraft nachgelassen hatte, und es kam in der Folge zur Trennung von Arista. Sie kam an bei Epics Tochterlabel Lucky Dog und brachte dort 2002 ihr Debütalbum heraus: It's All Relative: Tillis Sings Tillis - eine Zusammenstellung von Songs ihres Vaters, mit der sie endlich sein Erbe zu ihren eigenen Bedingungen annahm.
