JoJo Siwa, the multi-talented entertainer known for her vibrant personality and iconic bows, recently celebrated her 21st birthday. The former “Dance Moms” star turned 21 on Sunday, May 19, marking the milestone with lively events and social media posts that gave fans a glimpse into her celebratory antics.
Birthday Bash at Disney World
JoJo Siwa chose Disney World in Florida as the backdrop for her birthday festivities, explicitly spending time at Epcot. The decision to celebrate at the magical venue aligns with Siwa’s well-known love for all things Disney. Sporting a pair of Mickey Mouse ears over her signature backward cap and funny glasses that read “Finally 21,” Siwa shared numerous snaps and videos from her day at the park on her Instagram Stories.
She swapped her mouse ears for a playful black propeller hat in one of her posts, continuing her whimsical celebration. Siwa also featured her friends using the “Karma” filter on TikTok, set to the tune of her latest song. Her enthusiasm for the day was evident as she shared her joy with millions of followers.
JoJo Siwa Drunk at Disney
The celebrations did not stop at themed accessories and park adventures. Siwa openly embraced her new legal drinking age, posting candidly about her experiences on social media. Siwa announced in a TikTok video, which quickly garnered widespread attention, “It’s my 21st birthday! I’m drunk as f— right now! I got punched in the eye… it was awful, but I’m OK.” The video showed a visibly swollen eye, yet Siwa maintained her trademark upbeat demeanor, even humorously mouthing, “I’m not OK,” to the camera before showcasing her “liquor spread.”
Siwa revealed her birthday plans earlier during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on May 17. “It’s my 21st, so… big one! Yeah, so I’m going to be drinking around the world at Epcot,” she told Fallon. True to her word, the social media star embarked on the Epcot experience, sharing moments of her journey with fans and urging them to stream her new track “Karma.”
Throughout the day, Siwa entertained her followers with a mix of posts, including a screen recording of herself dancing and lip-syncing to “Karma.” She humorously explained, “I accidentally posted this on my story and meant to post it on the feed, so here’s the screen recording.” Her candid and unfiltered approach to her birthday celebrations resonated with fans, showcasing her relatability and fun-loving spirit.
Responding to Recent Controversies
Siwa’s birthday celebrations come on the heels of recent controversies, including her comments about creating a new music genre called “gay pop.” Speaking to Billboard News, Siwa faced criticism for seemingly overlooking the contributions of earlier queer pop stars. However, she later clarified her intentions in an interview with SiriusXM’s Hits 1 Miami with Mack & Jen, explaining that while “gay pop” is a recognized style, it lacks an official genre designation akin to rap, rock, or R&B.
JoJo Siwa‘s 21st birthday celebration at Disney World was a memorable event filled with joy, laughter, and a few unexpected twists. From her playful antics at Epcot to her candid social media posts about experiencing the effects of alcohol, Siwa’s milestone birthday was a true reflection of her vibrant and unapologetically authentic personality. As she continues to navigate her career and personal growth, her ability to connect with fans through honesty and humor remains one of her greatest strengths.
