Pop sensation JoJo Siwa gave her fans a major scare after posting a distressing image of herself being loaded into an ambulance on a stretcher, mere hours before she was scheduled to perform a free concert at the Mall of America in Minnesota.
A Worrying Pre-Show Incident
The 22-year-old singer and dancer was set to debut her new Christmas single, a cover of Message To The World (Little Drummer Girl), for a Black Friday audience. Just hours before the noon performance on November 28, her excited social media updates took a sharp turn. Following a clip where she enthusiastically promoted the 'free holiday concert for all ages,' JoJo shared a starkly different photo to her Instagram Stories. The image showed her being wheeled into an ambulance with the simple, concerning caption: 'To This'.
The Show Must Go On
Despite the alarming prelude, the former Dance Moms star proved her professional dedication. In a remarkable turnaround, she was later seen performing at the mall as scheduled. A fan-shared video from the event confirmed her appearance, suggesting she had made a swift recovery from whatever incident prompted the medical emergency. The performance went ahead, showcasing her resilience to the relieved audience.
UK Christmas Plans with Love Island Star
The ambulance drama comes during a particularly busy and happy period for JoJo. Last week, she revealed a significant milestone in her relationship with UK Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32. Taking to Instagram, she announced they would be spending Christmas together in the UK. She explained the complex logistics, stating she would celebrate with her family in America a week early before travelling overseas for December 25th.
The couple's romance, which began after they met on Celebrity Big Brother UK, has gone from strength to strength. Their bond was further highlighted last month when Chris and his entire family attended JoJo's concert in Birmingham. In a sweet moment caught on film, JoJo referred to his parents, Val and Paul, as her 'future mother and father in-law', sending the crowd into a frenzy and solidifying the seriousness of their transatlantic relationship.
