As far because the rebrand goes, although, Miller wasn’t positive it was correct to name it that, saying she noticed the identical proficient dancer she’s at all times identified. In her phrases:
Everyone is making such an enormous deal about her rebranding. JoJo is doing unbelievable dancing with a variety of paint on her face. It was once stars and rainbows and pink and lavender and turquoise, and now it is black. It’s nonetheless paint on her face, and it is nonetheless her doing unbelievable dancing.
