It turns out that Maddie has a penchant for serious acting, and in 2021 she starred in two major films, including Sia’s directorial debut Music, and Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of West Side Story. Since then, she’s starred in several more Sia music videos, modeled for Target and Ralph Lauren, and authored a dance-themed trilogy of books. Maddie Ziegler, 19, was on Dance Moms for an impressive six seasons, but she became an instant sensation when she donned a Sia wig and danced through the “Chandelier” music video in 2014.
