At just 15, you are --
I mean, there's a whole --
I can't even think of the word.
At 15, you have a whole empire. A JoJo empire.
-It's crazy. -I mean you sell the merch.
-Yes. -Your face is on everything.
Lunch boxes. -Literally everything.
So the merchandise is crazy, you know?
Obviously, there's the bows,
which we've sold over 45 million this year -- in 2018,
which is crazy. [ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
Yeah. But then, there's literally
a million other products.
There's things from food to bedding to plates
to party supplies to apparel to jewelry to toys to electronics.
There's JoJo underwear. -Wow!
That's a big deal when you have JoJo underwear.
Yeah, why not, yeah. -Just imagine like what
SpongeBob's face is on, that's what my face is on.
-All right, good. -We have the same stuff.
How about this gift that someone surprised you with?
-Oh, yes, the beautiful, lovely car.
-Look at this thing. -Isn't that crazy?
[ Cheers and applause ] -Wow! That is insane.
-Thank you. My parents actually surprised me
with that for Christmas. -Wow, my gosh.
Can you drive? -I actually can.
You know, right when I turned 15 1/2,
because I live in California, I was like,
"Getting my permit, booyah!"
But actually, when I get my license,
which is when I'll be 16, I can't get it,
because I'll be on tour.
So I won't be home to be able to get my license.
It doesn't really matter anyways,
but I can still drive and it's still cool!
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Can you drive by yourself?
Or do you have to be with someone?
-I have to be with a parent or someone 25 or older.
-Yeah, or you could just drive with Justin Bieber.
-That's -- -That's pretty cool.
-The one person in America who maybe doesn't like the car.
[ Laughter ]
-So he doesn't like the car, right?
Didn't he tweet at you or something?
-He Instagram commented. So West Coast Customs,
which is who my parents had make the car basically.
They posted this picture
and Justin Bieber commented on it, "Burn it."
-He said, "burn it." -Burn it. Three times!
Three times he commented, "Burn it."
"Burn it, burn it, burn it." -Burn it, burn it, burn it.
-Burn it, burn it, burn it. -He did not like it, yeah.
-No, but honestly, then he tweeted out an apology.
I posted this picture.
We kind of just had fun and games back and forth.
-It's all about fun. -And now he's supposed to be
performing at my 16th birthday party. Right Justin?
-Yeah, right Justin? Right Justin?
-I invited him.
I didn't get an invite to the wedding,
but I still invited him to my party.
-Yeah, good, yeah. -We'll see.
-You are very positive. -Yes.
-That is your message, if I could pick one out
from everything I've seen of you, your positivity.
-Yeah, it's so important to me because there's so much hate
in this world that I just don't necessarily understand
why there needs to be.
You know, so I try to tell my people,
you know, listen, if you're getting bullied at school
or if you're getting bullied online on social media,
don't focus on that one person who's being mean to you.
Focus on the 10 other nice people who are loving you
and who are supporting you on, who are commenting nice things
or who are saying nice things.
And just really know who your people
are and know who you can trust,
and know who's there for you 24/7.
-Good for you. -Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Good for you for saying that.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-It's a great message to get out there. You're right.
-Yes, and just do what you want to do, and just have fun.
-Yeah. -Just have fun.
-You're having fun.
-I'm having the most fun.
-Right, I mean, are you about to go on concert, like a tour now?
-Tour, I'm going on tour. It starts May 17th.
And I'm going to 52 different cities.
-Wow. -It's crazy. It's 80 days long.
I'm so excited about it.
-Is this what you always dreamt of when --
I mean, you are a kid. -I am a kid.
-I was going to say when you were a fetus?
I don't know how far back I can go.
-Well, that's just about it.
No, ever since I was a kid, literally,
when I was 3 years old and I saw Hannah Montana,
I was like, "I want to be Hannah Montana."
And everyone wants to be Hannah Montana.
I mean, who doesn't, but I was like,
"No, no, no, like really, I want to do this.
Like, this is, like, what I want."
It's my dream in life. It's my passion.
I love performing.
Like, as weird as it is, like, I was literally
put on this Earth to perform.
It's just what I love doing,
and so, I'm so excited to get to do that on my DREAM tour.
-And I saw your mom backstage. Very supportive mom.
-So supportive, my mom, my dad and my brother,
they're so supportive.
-I couldn't have a better family.
They're so amazing.
-Aww. [ Audience "awws" ]
-Aww.
-It's sweet. Good for you to say that.
What does the bow represent?
Because I know you sell a lot of these bows.
-Yes. You know, for me,
the bow is a cute, fun hair accessory, right?
To everyone, that's what it looks like.
But really what it is is if you're wearing a JoJo bow,
you're a Siwanator, and if you're a Siwanator,
you are someone who is strong, confident, powerful.
You believe in yourself, you believe in everyone,
you love everyone, you support everyone.
So say you're at school and you don't have anyone to sit with
at lunch, and you see there's a kid wearing a JoJo bow,
you know that you can sit them with them
because they're a Siwanator. -Wow. Good for you.
[ Audience "awws" ] -Aww!
-Good, I love it. -Thank you.
-Now let's talk about "Lip Sync Battle Shorties."
-Yes. -You co-host that
or are the sidekick with Nick Cannon, who we love.
-Basically co-host. It's just a funner name than --
because funner's a word -- but it's a funner name than
co-host, is a sidekick.
-Do you like doing it, "Lip Sync Battle"?
-I love it. You know, the show is so amazing.
The kids get to decide everything, too.
But it's just so, so, so much fun getting to work with
Nick Cannon who is incredible.
Literally so amazing,
one of the best people I've ever worked with in my life.
-He's great. -But just the show is just
so cool and it is so fun.
Every week, it's so different,
but still the same at the same time.
-What's the most bizarre thing you've seen on the show?
-A live zebra. -No.
-Yeah. -Really?
-And Robert Irwin was not there with it.
-Wow. -But, yeah, live zebra.
One kid was like, "I want a live animal."
She was doing "Grown Woman," I believe, by Beyoncé.
And she got a zebra. -She got a zebra.
-She got a zebra. -Those kids, really --
-They think of everything. -Really, yeah,
I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's JoJo Siwa in "Lip Sync Battle Shorties"
on Nickelodeon. Take a look at this.
-You started off with ballroom, and you were like,
"Oh, great, I like ballroom, but this is like hip-hop.
This is my kind of dance."
And then you did this big dance break with everyone.
It was amazing! But can you do me a favor?
Can you help Nick with
your little scorpion thingy that you did over there?
Yup, this is what I need you learn, Nick.
You ready? You ready? Okay.
-All right. -Grab your leg,
and you got to pull it up and touch your head!
-Whoa! [ Cheers and applause ]
-Whoo!
-I mean, come on. -It's a fun show. It's awesome.
-It's a fun show. -Yes.
-Well, you're a fun person. -Thank you, you, too, you, too.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
-Please come back to the show anytime you want.
-Whenever you want. -JoJo Siwa, everybody!
