She entered our lives in 2014 with the video of Sia's song 'Chandelier': Who is Maddie Ziegler?

'Dance Moms', which was once one of the most popular television shows in America, told the story of little girls and their mothers who went to a dance studio. Sia also discovered Maddie Ziegler through this program.

There were even people who mistook the little girl, who starred in many of Sia's music videos and attended award ceremonies and television programs, as Sia.

Madison Nicole Ziegler (born September 30, 2002) is an American actress and dancer. She appeared in Lifetime's reality show Dance Moms, from 2011 (at age 8) until 2016, and starred in a series of music videos by Sia, beginning with "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart", which have in total attracted more than 6 billion views on YouTube. Ziegler has appeared in films, television shows, concerts, advertisements and on magazine covers.

It was natural that confusion would arise when the singer disguised himself and was seen everywhere.

After leaving Sia's wing, the young star took up dancing along with modeling and acting, and also served as a jury in a dance competition where young people competed.

Maddie Ziegler, who everyone sees as a star and thinks that her future is bright with her performance beyond her age, managed to be included in Time magazine's "30 most influential young people of the year" list for three years in a row.
