In 2013, Ziegler guest-starred on Lifetime's ''Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition'', a televised dance competition judged and hosted by Abby Lee Miller, performing a solo on the show. Maddie hit the ball off right in 2014; no sooner had the year changed than Maddie was co-starring in Mackenzie as Mack Z's music video for her hit single, "''It's a Girl Party''." Maddie's next step was recording and co-starring in the music video for "''Freaks Like Me''," a song sung by Payton Ackerman, Nia Frazier, Kendall Vertes, Mack Z, and Maddie Ziegler, featuring Todrick Hall. Later, popular American singer/songwriter Sia contacted Ziegler via Twitter asking if she was interested in dancing in her music video for "''Chandelier''." Maddie has received much fame from this music video, including getting to participate in MTV's Video Music Awards, Jimmy Kimmel, the Ellen DeGeneress Show, two appearances on the Today Show: Australia, and many more oppurtunities. | Madison "Maddie" Nicole Ziegler, born on September 30, 2002 to Melissa Gisoni and Kurt Ziegler, is an American dancer, singer, actress, model, and television personality.

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. | Maddie's most recent work includes starring in Sia's music video "''Elastic Heart''" alongside actor Shia LaBeouf.
