Jojo Siwa Has Come a Long Way Since 'Dance Moms' — but the Teen Is Just Getting Started

Explore curated insights about Jojo Siwa Has Come a Long Way Since 'Dance Moms' — but the Teen Is Just Getting Started.

JoJo is committed to delivering wholesome and authentic messages through her music and content, which contributes greatly to her widespread popularity among children ages 4 to 13. "My best trait is to make other people happy, that's what I like to do," she said in an interview with Today. "To make other people happy, to make other people feel better."

She's also risen to fame by adopting an attitude many stars her age neglect: JoJo acts her age and plays to a younger crowd, unlike the myriad teen stars who land in the spotlight for acting older. "I see people who are my age and who are acting a lot older and who are trying to be someone or something that they're not and it's just so sad to me because I don't understand why when you're 15 are you trying to be 22," she said.

These days, JoJo is signed to Nickeloeon and is embarking on her first North American tour, the JoJo D.R.E.A.M. She continues to keep up her Youtube channel, where she releases new music videos and also lets fans into her life — on stage, on Dance Moms, and more simply, the typical day of your average teenager.

On the one hand, she's meeting stars like Elton John and Kim Kardashian, and on the other, she's babysitting, showing off her doll collection, and cuddling with her adorable pup, Bowbow. Just another day in the life of a newly 16-year-old with over 10 million Youtube subscribers!

Follow JoJo on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, where the poised young lady asserts, "I'm 16 and I'm living my life exactly the way I want to. I think having my dream career at age 16 is really cool. No matter what anyone says, you can tell me I dress young, you can call me bald, you can say I'm annoying... nothing will change me!"

You go, girl!
