Jojo Siwa has continued to show her bolder side in her latest performance just days after releasing her new music video.
The 21-year-old former reality star proudly showed off her new stage persona while performing at the Mighty Hoopla 2024 festival in London on Sunday night.
Following the release of her single Karma in April, which she called her ‘first adult highlight’ of her career, the Omaha, Nebraska native proudly showed it off in a revealing ensemble and terrifying face makeup in the style of rockers KISS.
Along with Siwa, the main stage featured other musical artists such as Jessie Ware, Rita Ora, Alison Goldfrapp, Cat Burns, Bambie Thug, The Veronicas, Rachel Stevens, Beth McCarthy, Sink The Pink, among several others.
Jojo Siwa has continued to show her bolder side in her latest performance just days after releasing her new music video.
There were dozens of other musical artists gracing the festival’s various stages on Sunday, as well as the day before when Nelly Furtado and En Vogue were headliners.
Siwa (born Joelle Joanie Siwa), now 21, would hit the stage in style with a cover of her 2024 single Karma, complete with a group of backup dancers attempting to keep up with the star and reality performer.
On that day, she showed off her fit figure in a unique colorful ensemble that looked like a kind of jumpsuit by combining long stripes of red, yellow, green, blue, gray, black, and purple.
The out-of-this-world ensemble helped show off her legs, as well as her toned tummy, by splitting the ensemble into two separate pieces, which included shoulder wings for the top.
She paired it with a pair of black platform boots that gave her at least three more inches in height.
The singer, who broke out with her song Boomerang, had her long blonde tresses pulled out of her face with a top ponytail and some mixed braids in the front.
Arguably the highlight of her new ‘adult’ look was the black face paint she wore around her eyes that was lined to match the different colors of her outfit.
While performing on the big stage, Siwa seemed to prefer to cast several terrifying glances towards the audience.

Siwa began her career as a top-five finalist and the youngest contestant on the second season of Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition (2013), produced by Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms. She appeared on the show with her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, but was ultimately eliminated in week nine.
Siwa would go on to appear on Dance Moms (2015-2016) for two seasons, beginning with auditioning for Miller’s ALDC dance competition team in 2014 and being selected for the team early the next year.
Shifting some of her focus to her singing career, Siwa released her songs Boomerang and I Can Make U Dance in May 2016, with the former addressing the topic of online harassment as the song’s theme.
The official Boomerang video has been viewed more than one billion times and received more than five million likes.
After signing with Nickelodeon in 2017, she starred in several television shows and films, including the release of several children’s songs and her own family musical drama film, The J Team (2021).
Siwa is set to release her next single, Choose Ur Fighter, as part of her rebranding.
Jojo is also said to release her debut studio album sometime in 2024.

There was a lot of hands-on action on the big stage between Siwa and her dancers.
The former reality star first gained recognition as a 10-year-old on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition in 2013, and again on Dane Moms two years later.
While Siwa focuses on her music career, she is also starring in the upcoming AMFAD horror film All My Friends Are Dead, which will be released in the summer.

Having performed for just over a decade with a kid-friendly image, Siwa began 2024 with a persona aimed at a more adult audience that includes the release of her song Karma in April, which she now calls her “first adult moment of breaking off”.
Looking to expand her film resume, which includes just two productions: The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019) and The J Team (2021), Siwa stars in the upcoming AMFAD horror film All My Friends Are Dead alongside Jade Pettyjohn, John Baldecchi, Marcus Dunstan, Jennifer Ens, Ali Fumiko Whitney, Justin Derickson, Julian Haig, Cardi Wong, Jack Doupe-Smith and Michaella Russell.
