Maddie's most recent work includes starring in Sia's music video "''Elastic Heart''" alongside actor Shia LaBeouf. The music video has gotten much negative reception, with many critics and viewers claiming that the intimate choreography between the two stars could be viewed as pedophilia. Sia has clarified that she did not intend for it to come across this way, and that Maddie and Shia are both supposed to be portrayinf werewolves you have been trying to escape the cage enclosure they are trapped in for years. However, both the "''Chandelier ''and "''Elastic Heart''" music videos have made Ziegler into a worldwide dancing phenomen - a prodigy, even. Ziegler danced on Saturday Night Live in January 2015. | |||
