00:00 I'm watching Karma for the very first time, I swear.
00:03 - Abby Lee Miller is sharing her real thoughts
00:06 on JoJo Siwa's new era.
00:08 On April 5th, the former dance mom's instructor
00:11 posts to TikTok her live reaction
00:14 to JoJo's Karma music video,
00:16 where the 20-year-old ditches the rainbow colors
00:19 and sports a dark, kiss-like new look.
00:21 - Oh, she's like the Loch Ness Monster
00:23 coming out of the ocean.
00:25 - And after watching the music video,
00:27 the 58-year-old gives her take.
00:29 - Everyone is making such a big deal
00:31 about her rebranding and rebranding and rebranding.
00:35 JoJo is doing incredible dancing
00:38 with a lot of paint on her face.
00:40 It used to be stars and rainbows and pink
00:45 and lavender and turquoise, and now it's black.
00:49 It's still paint on her face.
00:51 And it's still her doing incredible dancing, all right?
00:54 So I don't know if it's so much as a rebranding
00:56 or just maturing, getting older,
00:59 wanting to show another side of her.
01:01 And this song is about, I guess,
01:04 somebody hooked up with somebody else
01:08 and it's gonna come back to haunt you.
01:10 And we all know that to be true.
01:12 - Abby and JoJo co-starred in two seasons of "Dance Moms"
01:15 from 2015 to 2016, when the dancer was just a preteen.
01:20 Later on, JoJo revealed that the stress of competing
01:23 under the Abby Lee Dance Company
01:25 gave her a bald spot,
01:27 but the two have seemingly been on good terms
01:29 in recent years, with Abby telling E! News in 2022,
01:33 "I talk to JoJo alive.
01:35 "We text alive."
01:37 And as the 20-year-old embarks
01:39 on her new chapter of her career,
01:41 the former child star recently spoke to E! News
01:44 at the 2024 iHeartMusic Awards,
01:47 where she opened up about feeling, quote,
01:49 "very lucky to be able to grow with her fans."
01:52 - We were talking a lot recently
01:54 about sort of leaving the adolescent era behind
01:57 and moving into a more adult era.
01:59 How has that been going for you?
02:01 - It's been fun.
02:02 It's been criticized, that's for sure.
02:05 - How do you think that is?
02:07 - People are afraid of things they don't know.
02:09 People are, things can be scary for people.
02:12 New things can be very, very scary.
02:14 But I think that creating art
02:18 is such a special, special thing.
02:20 And I'm very lucky that I'm one of the people in the world
02:22 that gets to create art.
