JoJo Siwa first gained the attention of TV viewers on Lifetime’s Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition. Then just nine-years-old, she was kicked off the show abruptly, but returned for two seasons of the Dance Moms spinoff.

The rising pop star then signed on with television network Nickelodeon, starring in several projects with the kid-centric channel.

At 17-years-old, JoJo came out as LGBTQ in January of 2021. She followed up the news by joining Season 30 of Dancing With The Stars. JoJo would make history on the ABC dance competition by competing with Jenna Johnson as the first female dance partners.

The starlet ultimately came in second place behind pro basketball player Iman Shumpert. JoJo did, however, appear on various dates of the DWTS Live Tour.

Fox recently announced that So You Think You Can Dance is finally returning this summer after a two-year hiatus. JoJo Siwa will be joining Glee alum Matthew Morrison to judge the reality competition.

The new season kicks off on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, only on Fox.
