- Hey everyone.
I'm JoJo Siwa and right now I am here with Buzzfeed
to talk about my firsts.
(upbeat music)
The first album that I ever bought
would probably be a Hannah Montana album.
When my mom and I would come out to California
when I was little,
she would drive from Palm Springs,
where myself, my mom and my grandparents lived.
And we would drive out to LA.
That could be like a two-hour drive.
And we would listen to the Hannah Montana soundtrack
the whole way.
I know every song.
It was our favorite thing to listen to.
Favorite song from Hannah Montana, "He Could Be the One,"
but I like to replace it and say she could be the one.
It's my favorite thing to do.
First A-list celeb that followed you.
Megan Trainor is actually the first A-list celeb
that followed me.
She is the coolest human ever.
Now, she's like literally my sister,
my family, my best friend.
I was actually at the Kids' Choice Awards
and she was the first ever A-list celebrity
that I went up to
and she was like, oh my God, you're JoJo Siwa,
like, I love you.
Ooh, first big purchase.
So when I was on Dance Moms,
every kid on the bus ride the very first week
had an iMac and I didn't, and I felt like a loser.
So I got my first paycheck
and boom took it to the Apple store and got me an iMac.
First time you realized you were famous.
Yet to have it.
I don't know.
I don't like to look at myself as I'm famous.
When I came out, I was like, whoa.
When Miley Cyrus knew who I was,
that was a big eye-opener for me.
Heard her music.
I'm like a huge Miley Cyrus fan
and where I was rehearsing,
I heard her music playing next door,
but there was no vocal,
so I was like, oh my God, it's her band.
The next day I heard her vocal.
And I was like, oh my God, she's in there.
So I told my choreographer,
it was like our second to last day of rehearsals.
And I was like, Richie, I cannot leave this area right now.
I was like, if I come back into rehearsals,
I was like, I'm gonna miss when she leaves her room.
And I just need to see her, even if I don't do anything,
I just need to see her.
So I'm finally, I'm waiting outside for like two hours.
Finally I was like, all right,
I'm just gonna go poke my head in the room,
say hi, say I love you and run away.
And I did that.
And as I went in, she was coming out with her mom
and my heart dropped.
I mean, I sank
and she was like, oh my God, you're JoJo, right?
And I was like, huh, I don't know.
Am I?
Like, I couldn't even think.
First BTS memory that comes to mind from filming The J Team.
When we were filming "Change Me,"
which is one of the finale numbers in the movie.
It's one of the finale songs.
We were all so loopy and out of it.
And I like to use the term punchdrunk.
We were just all like, oh my God, we're on hour 16
of hearing this song.
Now it's the best number of the film.
But it was really funny.
My first celebrity crush.
Oh boy.
Probably Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Demi.
I did, I did it's my girlfriend went to their concert.
She says that that was her gay awakening.
For me though, it was watching the video
of that performance.
I was like, I like that a little too much.
I like that a little too much.
First impression of my girlfriend.
I actually thought my brother and her were like
kinda talking.
And so I was like, aw, Jayden's talking to girls.
And now I'm like ew.
But I dunno, I think my first impression was like,
oh, she looks cool.
I'm scared of her.
First embarrassing moment on stage.
Ooh, I mean, I've had plenty when I was a dancer,
but I'm gonna go when I was on tour,
I fell on stage, that was pretty embarrassing.
I've ripped my pants 450 times.
Every time I've performed.
Guarantee, every time I perform, I rip my pants.
It's like a known thing.
I rip every single pair that I own.
But I think the most embarrassing would have to be
when I was in Dublin, Ireland.
And I wear a side ponytail and bow,
and in the middle of my performance,
I have like a fake ponytail that has a bunch of colors on it
and extra hair and it just starts to like slide out.
And I was like, oh God.
For me, there's so much to look at on my stage.
The odds of somebody looking at my hair flying out is zero.
So for me, I just have to pretend like it's not happening.
First big date.
Ooh, what's funny is my girlfriend and I,
we dated for like five and a half months
before we actually went on our first date.
We went on our first day when we were in Disney.
We actually went to the park together in Orlando, Florida.
And that was really fun.
That was our first date.
First crazy or funny fan interaction.
One time I was on this cruise ship
and this girl just came up to me
and stood right in front of me
and was just like bug-eyed looking at me.
And I was like, hi.
And she was just like.
I was like, okay.
And she was just blank the whole time.
That one was really funny.
First hard lesson you learned living in the public eye.
Obviously there's haters.
And that was really hard to deal with when I was little.
It's still gonna be hard to deal with now.
It was hard.
It was hard to take at first.
And I just was confused on it and I didn't get why,
why somebody wanted to be mean.
It didn't make sense to me.
First impression to Chloe Fineman's impersonation of you.
I was honored.
I thought it was beautiful.
I really did.
When I saw it, I was like, that is cool.
You know how many people can say
that they've done an impersonation of them on SNL, a lot,
but really cool that I can too.
I would host SNL tomorrow if they asked me to.
Absolutely.
All right, everybody, well that was my firsts.
Thank you so much for watching.
Make you stream The J Team on Paramount+.
Peace.
