JoJo Siwa has broken the audience record with her performance at Miami Beach Pride. The singer performed to the biggest crowd a Pride event has ever seen.
The first Dance Moms the star angered queer music fans by claiming she created “gay pop” with her new single “Karma”, but the performer had no problems performing to the masses at the Pride event on 14 April.
The dancer-singer performed her track for the first time at the event. Siwa took to the Love Spirit Entertainment Stage on the night where she sang, danced and rocked her “U-haul lesbian” shoes.
Siwa gathered a crowd of 55,000 people during her performance, according to the organizers’ “early estimates based on the capacity of the park”, breaking the event’s attendance record of 170,000 fans. However, event organizers have yet to confirm the official number of the audience at his set.
For context, The Beatles performed to the same number of concertgoers at Shea Stadium in New York City in 1965. We’re not saying that “JoJo with a bow” is like the “Greatest Band in History”, but it is still impressive. achievement
Siwa kissed one of her dancers on stage as the dancer crossed her, in true “Karma” music video style. In another moment in the routine, the singer held her microphone on the stand as the dancer crawled between her legs.
A few days before going to the event, Siwa backed away from her claims that she had invented “gay pop”. Siwa told Billboard that when she first signed with Columbia Records, she told the executives that she “wanted to start a new genre of music… it’s called ‘gay pop'”.
Despite suggesting she invented the genre, the singer named “Applause” and “Can’t Be Tamed” by queer artists Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus as examples of so-called “gay pop”.
“It’s that world of music, where it’s not necessarily pop – it doesn’t give you Katy Perry’s ‘California Girls’ pop, it gives you Lady Gaga’s ‘Judas’,” he said.
However, in an interview with TMZ on 10 April, he said: “I’m definitely not the inventor of gay pop, certainly not. But I want to be a part of making it bigger than it already is. I want to draw more attention to it.”
