Pretty. This is Paris. Hey everyone, I am so excited about today's guest, my little sis Jojo siwa. Hey, I gotta remember I remember the last time, which was the first time actually I met you in person. The first time, I was like doing a Paris voice while I was with you right away, and I was like, wait, wait, I don't talk like this. What am I talking about? That happening? Because I gotta remember to not be calmed. You just have like the most soothing voice ever. It's amazing. Thank you. I know we had so much fun the last time you hear it was a blast. And how has everything been You've been killing it on Dancing at the Stars. Thank you so much. Everything has been so good. You've been so supportive with this with the Star was literally every single week. Thank you for posting. I appreciate it. My partner appreciates it so much. Literally, the first time that you reposted us, Jenna was like, oh my god, Paris Hilton just posted us, and I was like, yeah, she's one of my best friends. And she was like, oh my god, I'm dying right. She was so happy and I was so happy too, obviously, and size I was like, thank you for all that. Of course, I love supporting my friends, and you have just been amazing on there, Oh my god, like always getting perfect scores, the outfits, the looks, the naves, like I'm really just blown away. We have we have a lot of fun. We push ourselves really hard every week, but we have a lot of fun, so it's worth it. Is there anything that's been hard about it? Oh my god, it's more like, is there anything that's been easy about it? It's it's it's crazy, it's it's a lot, and it's stressful. And every day, I mean, a different part of our body is broken. Last week Jenna's rib was messed up. This week, I have a blister the size of literally a quarter. I call him Mount Everest blister on the back of my heel to my intellig yesterday Jen's shoulder, um. Literally every day yesterday my calf was acting acting up every day. It's something with our bodies. Um. For me, it's like the dancing actually itself is really difficult. I know a lot of people are will be like, well, you're a dancing your whole life, so it's easy, But it's actually not at all. It's so hard. Styles I've never done before. So I explain it like a football player trying to play baseball. It's it's completely different than anything I've ever done, and it's there's a lot of pressure, you know, and it's it's so much fun though that it's like every day is better than last. Yeah, I can't imagine. It looks like it's really hard just to learn all of those moves. It's it's complicated. Every time that I get into day one of rehearsals, I'm just like, here we go, and I tell Jen every single day we start, I'm like, I feel like I am a Chinese foreign exchange student right now. I know nothing. I am literally learning a foreign language. So you guys are making history by being the first to dance together as two women. How has that been on the show? Yes, it's been so much fun. I mean, she's literally become a big sister, and so I'm so happy that we get to make history like this together. Um. I remember when I first found out that, you know, I even was going to be able to dance with a female on the show, and I was like, A for me, that's so amazing, but be for the world, that is the most magical thing ever to just show anybody who's watching, not necessarily just a little boys and little girls, but anybody, anybody that you can not only love who you want to love, but you can dance who you want to dance with. And it just makes it more normal for people watching, like, hey, there's boys and girls dancing together, but there's also a girling girl dancing together. And there are no weird that's just it is what it is. Oh. I love that, and I love just how open and honest you've been and just it's really amazing and inspirational to so many others. And I'm really just so proud of you. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. How was that for you when you first, you know, came out and told everyone your truth? You know it? Actually it was really nice. It felt so comforting. I actually one of the first people that I told was Arta, and I met Art at your house and I told her right away and she was She asked me, she was like, are you gonna tell the world? And I was like, yeah, when they find out, and she was like, well, what do you mean. I was like, oh, I I have a feeling that will just kind of happened in the world. I just kind of find out and that's pretty much what happened. And it has just been so nice to feel the love and support from all around the world, from everybody. I mean, of course there's some people who don't like it, but there's a lot of people who do like it and who do support it and who are loving, and those are the people who I want to give my time and energy and love back to. So it's it's been so good. People have been so nice. It's just been a ride that's NonStop and the best ride ever. Oh good. Well that makes me this feel so happy for you to just feel that freedom and I'm sure just weight off your shoulders just to be yourself because you are just everything like this, like rainbow unicorn of fun and love and I just I love your energy and everything about you. Thank you so much. I appreciate all that. This is Paris. How has it been just having to um do that? And then you're all you just released a new film, you're doing new music, you have your brand, like, how is it? I know how it is, but I want everyone to listen because you are a boss baby like me, running an empire and doing so many things at once. How do you make time for everything. You know. I think something about me is I love doing a billion things, and I feel like you can relate to that. You're actually the first person that I had ever met that I was like, whoa, You're like me, Like, I've met a lot of people who are similar to me and have the same thing. But I think we both really when we were together. I mean, I'm not gonna speak to how you felt, but I know for sure for me, like when we were together, I felt like and I think we've even talked about this, how we both were like, wait a second, we literally are kind of the same in a way where we're running this big empire and we are a brand, but our brand is ourselves, but we have another side to ourselves, Like we literally had the exact same brain and feeling at the same time. So I mean, I think you get it better than anybody. Um. I love working, I love creating new things. I mean, my movie The J Team just came out. I go literally dancing at the stars the season finale, which hopefully I'm in. I obviously want to be there, But it depends on votes. So vote text urere two and five two three every Monday night eight PM Eastern to TMPM Eastern um and the series Dance Pop Revolution comes out. But this the series d hold on getting ahead of myself, having the time of my life. I'm getting excited. See was this Revolution comes out Starched streaming on Peacock November four, which I'm so excited about. That's our new TV show. And then literally I go straight into tour rehearsals. I go back out on tour in January, but my tour rehearsals and Dancing with the Stars schedule clash for like a week, so I'm gonna have to hopefully, I really hope I actually get a miss out on two rehearsals because I really want to be in the finale, so I'll catch up on tour later. That's the one time that I wanted miss rehearsals. So it's like life right now is just a tornado of excitement, and it's you know, there's not a lot of time for sleep, and there's not a lot of time for fun and for play time. I literally I texted my best friend Rachel today and I was like, what are you doing this week? And she said when? And I said, what are you doing like tomorrow? And I was like, wait a second, I have a premiere party tom and she was like yeah, and I'm coming here fromiere party tomorrow. And I was like, great, so I'll see you there. And she's like, I'll see you their greatest hangout plants ever. I was like, not worked out perfect. So it's like, we just make it work and we have fun and every step of the way it is just a blast. Well, yeah, you only live once. See you to make the most out of it, and certainly are so I just want to say I commend you for that, and I really respect it. And I love seeing people who work hard and really deserve their success, and you are definitely one of those people. Thank you, and I miss you. I want to hang out against soon. Absolutely. I miss you. I miss your puppies. I want to hang out with your puppies again. I want to go back into the house literally anytime. I mean, if you text me right now that I literally have zero time with the other with the stars, but give me, like to know what is it with three one weeks hopefully three weeks left, I really hope I'm gonna be there, but listen, I might. I might have a week off if I could eliminate it. I don't I don't want that, but it could happen. We're not putting that out. Do not put out that energy out into the world. No. Yeah, I've been so stressed as well too. I have my wedding in less than two weeks. I sent you the invites that you get it. I've got the invites. They came and we were like, what is this? And then over it we were like, oh my god, this is everything. Your invites were amazing. Second only imagine how your wedding is gonna be. I am so excited. I'm so happy for you. I remember getting to meet your fiance. Was her fiance at the time? Where was he still your boyfriend at the time? Um, he was my boyfriend at the time. He was your boyfriend at the time. I mean when I got to meet him, he was so sweet, so awesome. I remember talking to him while you weren't there, and just the way that he talked about you, and you could tell how much he just loves you and respects you and appreciates you and appreciates what you do. It just he I was like, Oh, he's good for her, He's the one. He's really nice and he's the sweetest and you're very lucky, but I mean he's way more lucky. Yeah, he's such a good guy. I'm really really grateful to I found someone that I could really trust and open my heart too, because that was very difficult for me for a very long time. It's I think that's the hardest thing about what we do is trusting. So, buddy, how are you in your love life right now? Me and my love life were We're okay. Actually I've yet to talk about this officially publicly, but we broke up. Um, but she is literally still my best friend. I talked to her yesterday. She just got a new puppy. She's awesome. She's having the time of her life. I'm having the time of my life. So I'm really lucky that I didn't lose her completely because you know, even though relationships end, friendships don't have to end. And I think that's something that I even didn't know could happen, and I was very thankful that it can because it's all I wanted. But I I'm really happy that I remember all the fun times and all the good times and nothing bad happened. It just is the definition of a cheesy saying a right right person, wrong time. And I hate cheesy sayings, but they're true. But everything's good. I'm good, okay, as long as you're happy. But it is so hard when you have this hectic schedule. You don't even have time for a personal life, so hectic schedule, and we're just both so young. She's seventeen eighteen, and we are literally best friends. And I would take a bullet for her, and I know she would do the same for me, and we just really literally right personally a long time. Okay, Well that makes me happy. At least you guys are still be ff, so that's good. Exactly how I want to be. Everything is exactly how I mean I would I'm not going to speak for her, but how she would want it to be too good. Well, that makes me happy to hear. Yeah, I saw that you guys were at Disneyland and I have not been there, and since the pandemic in two years, I need to go back. How was it? Oh my gosh, we're going. I don't care what you talk. Well, I can't tomorrow. I don't care what you have the next day. Cancel it. You're going. You have to go. It's it's a blast. Um. It's all very COVID safe, which is nice. Um, but just there's something magical about being in Disney where you can't be sad and you can't be stressed, and it's like you just go there and you forget about the world for a minute. Yeah, that's It's one of my favorite places. So we definitely have to plan a Disney trip together. Absolutely. This is seven next Living questions. Let's go seven s living. Let's go what are there? Okay, what is your spirit animal? And why? Okay? My spirit animal, I think would probably have to be oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, the stress. Okay, I have a few.

Um. I was sixteen, I was right there. I was watching I think we were watching Good Boys. Um. It was like a three second kiss, and I thought it was the world, Like fully bragging that I had kissed someone for three seconds. I thought I was the coolest human ever, I went into my tour rehearsals the next day and I was like, you guys, we kiss Oh no, it was it was just somebody who had been friends with since I was literally like two years old. Um, it was with the boy. I've only kissed three people in my lifetime, which is pretty great. I'm pretty proud of that. Yeah, it was fun, it was it was cool. Yes, it doesn't it doesn't come with too much. I will say that. I thought, like I thought three seconds was like mhm, I mean, don't get me wrong, three seconds is great. But like to me, it was like everything, Oh that's a cute story. Um, next one, what is the craziest rumor that you've ever heard about yourself? Oh, the craziest rumor that I've ever heard heard about myself. A lot of press started to figure out that Kay and I broke up long before we even broke up, Like they started to speculate about things, and that was always really funny to look at. I don't know, there's so there's like so many small little ones. I think. Something that's really funny to me is is the people that I've been like, people have been like, oh they're dating their dating like even even before I even had my first kiss, like, oh, they're dating. Oh they're dating. Oh no, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. I know. So there's this clip from Dance Moms and Klanni, who's literally like one of my best friends, is doing her dance and this went viral after I came out, and it was like, how did we not realize this because it's a clip of me like biting my lip and like looking Klanni up and down while she was like doing their dance. And then I was like, oh my god, Joe is in love with Colonne. And I was like, hey, I was eleven, b I didn't know my left foot from my right in love world. See, Clownie is literally my sister who I love to death and hate to death at the same time, and she knows that, like it's we have a very sisterly relationship, and I would literally go to a grave for her um. But I was like, never in a million years would it be Colonne. But it was just so funny that people were like, Oh my god, Jojo and Clownie had a thing. We died over it. I've known Clarne since I was nine, and so like nine years later, people are like, oh my god, they were dating. Absolutely yeah. I've had a lot of those rumors when I've literally met once in my life I never met, and they're like they were dating, they're dating, Okay, right, it's beyond well.
