JoJo Siwa has lived through many chapters in her life, going from child dancer to young Internet star-turned musician, and that wild ride has led to some "weird" moments throughout her career.
Speaking to E! News, the 21-year-old "Karma" singer revealed the "weirdest thing" about kicking off her career at such a young age was getting hold but seeing how her younger self is immortalized in videos online and in her early music, noting that she recently met a 6-year-old fan who told Siwa her favorite song was her debut single "Boomerang."
"Aging has been the weirdest thing because young me is still so popular amongst kids," she said, adding, "That's crazy that still has that effect on the young ones. It's very trippy to see."
Siwa's music career has also evolved alongside her own personal growth. She is excited to see how people react to the songs she continues to put out, because whether it goes viral or not, she's proud of her art.
"There's something so beautiful about the world right now, about how unpredictable it is," she said. "You don't know what's going to do good, you don't know what's going to go viral. So for me, I always just want to create the art that I like... If the world runs with it? Great! And if it's not a slam dunk? All good, we're gonna try again with the next thing. We're just gonna roll with it."
The "Guilty Pleasure" singer also announced on Monday (March 24) that she is going back on tour for JoJo Siwa Live, her first headline tour in over three years, according to a press release.
