JoJo Siwa reveals her grandma encouraged her onstage drinking

JoJo Siwa mentioned that her "shot o’clock" ritual during Pride shows makes the audience go "absolutely ballistic."

JoJo Siwa's onstage drinking has her grandmother's full support, she even encourages it.

During the July 8 episode of her podcast, JoJo Siwa Now, the 21-year-old entertainer shared the origin story behind her one of her “favorite f---ing parts” of her Pride sets — “when I drink the alcohol on stage” — which she apparently began doing after receiving a stamp of approval from her grandmother.

“This idea of doing this stemmed from, I was in rehearsals and we were starting a new routine [for] ‘Yesterday's Tomorrow's Today,’ and my 21st birthday had just passed,” Siwa explained. “I was like, ‘I wanna f---ing take a shot before this.’ And my grandma was like, ‘Alright, JoJo. You should do it.’ And I was like, alright. Let's do it!”

The "Karma" singer mentioned that her "shot o’clock" ritual during Pride shows makes the audience go "absolutely ballistic," noting that it became a significant highlight in June during Los Angeles Pride at the Park.

“I bought out a jug of Tito's, and people were like, ‘Woah. What are you doing? Is it real? Is it fake?’” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Bitch, it is what it f---ing is. It's a bottle of Tito's.’”

Siwa recently wrapped up a series of Pride Fest performances in L.A., London, New York, Miami, and Chicago, where she set audience records in the latter two cities. “Chicago Pride WHAT THE F---!!!🌈” the Dance Moms alum exclaimed in an Instagram caption celebrating this achievement. “What a time to be alive. Yesterday was unreal. I found out I set the record for most people in attendance at Chicago Pride at 2 a f---ing clock in the afternoon… THAT IS NUTTY.”
