Today, Sia is swooping down from her chandelier to say “Not so fast!” with her new video for “Big Girls Cry.” She’s joined by a familiar face who is [_not_ Shia LaBeouf](http://time.com/3658037/shia-labeouf-sia-elastic-heart-video/ "undefined"): Maddie Ziegler, who used to be known as the girl from _Dance Moms_ but now—like the kid from those early 2000s Missy Elliott videos—will probably be forever known as the girl from all those Sia videos. This clip is the simplest of the three, perhaps because [the last one](http://time.com/3660358/sia-elastic-hearts-shia-labeouf-apology-sexy/ "undefined") upset a few people, but—like any dance routine that requires a 12-year-old to pretend someone is trying to smother her—it’s just as unsettling. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3768796/sia-big-girls-cry-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3768796/sia-big-girls-cry-video/"},"headline":"You'll Never Guess Who Stars in Sia's Video for 'Big Girls Cry'","datePublished":"2015-04-02T14:03:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T05:39:12.862Z","description":"Surprise!
