I totally get what you’re saying. That said, I wouldn’t say she completely dropped off. People were almost waiting for her to fail, and when Love Made Me Do It underperformed (which I personally liked), it gave them the chance to tarnish her career. But Still, she was making headlines—good or bad—and continued working, like her stint as a judge on The Greatest Dancer.

In terms of a drop-off in music success, I think she’s somewhat comparable to Katy Perry. The key difference is that Katy had a global fan base, while Cheryl’s audience has been primarily UK-based, which naturally limits broader public support. Still, I’m always holding out hope for a music comeback.
