JoJo Siwa got into the party spirit as she took to the stage at a raucous warehouse party in Melbourne after splitting from her dancer girlfriend.
The American singer, 21, stormed the stage last Friday night for her only club performance during her visit to Australia, and pulled out all the stops for her fans.
Photos obtained by Ny Breaking Australia showed JoJo wearing one of her signature sequin outfits for the late-night Tramp warehouse party at Pica nightclub.
JoJo took the stage with six scantily clad dancers and performed a string of her best-known hits, as well as her new song Iced Coffee for the very first time.
And she didn’t shy away from embracing the Australian party atmosphere, as she even did a shoey on stage, sending the packed crowd wild.
The Dance Moms star – who has split from her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in recent days – was seen drinking alcohol from her boot as she fully embraced Australia’s wild drinking tradition.

She seemed to be having the time of her life as she drank from the shoe and got up close and personal with the audience during her energetic performance.
It wasn’t until 11:30 p.m. that JoJo took the stage and busted out her signature dance moves for her setlist, which included songs like Karma and Guilty Pleasure.
She also sang an updated, mature rendition of her debut hit single Boomerang, which she released at age 13, as a tribute to her early fame.
In a world first, JoJo also treated fans to an exclusive performance of her brand new single Iced Coffee.
Known for her vibrant style, JoJo made sure to turn heads while wearing a rainbow sequin crop top and shorts.
She completed her dazzling look with fishnet tights and opted for a shimmering rainbow makeup look for the performance.
Her Australian boyfriend, drummer G Flip, who is married to Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, attended the raucous night out.
Her warehouse show came hours after she spoke at a Q&A with LGBTQIA+ youth at Melbourne’s Pride Center, which was hosted by British drag icon Bimini.

JoJo landed in Australia last week and first visited Melbourne for her one-off club appearance before flying to Sydney.
She is joined by her mother Jessalynn Down Under as she prepares to perform at the 2024 TikTok Awards on Wednesday night.
She will perform at the Hordern Pavilion for a one-off show in Sydney on her first visit Down Under since her Dream tour in January 2020.
‘After four long years it will be incredibly wonderful to return to Australia – I’ve even gotten a kangaroo tattoo since my last visit,’ JoJo said of her return.
“On TikTok I can connect with fans around the world and share my music with them, and now I can do both in real life with my Australian fans at the TikTok Awards.”
TikTok will present 13 awards, including Creator of the Year, Music Artist of the Year and Video of the Year, with new awards in the Food, Beauty and Fashion categories also making their debut.
Robert Irwin, Indy Clinton and Kat Clark will take on hosting duties for the evening, which celebrates TikTok’s most iconic and viral moments of the year.
TikTokers including Bridey Drake, Maddy Macrae, Jojo ASMR, Elle Ray and Josh and Matt Design will be among the social media stars in attendance.

JoJo’s epic trip Down Under for the awards comes just days after she confirmed her split from girlfriend Dakayla.
She shared the news of their divorce last week at the 11th annual American Reality Television Awards, three months after they went public with their romance.
She told me People: ‘We’ve gone our separate ways, but she’s a great girl, and I have my own fun holiday plans, and I know she has her family that she spent the holidays with, I’m happy for her that she did [them].’
They first met when JoJo was a judge on Dakayla’s season of So You Think You Can Dance, where she placed second.
Their romance first came to light in August when JoJo accompanied Dakayla to a dance class, with a video of her telling students she had a girlfriend.
JoJo then opened up about her romance with Dakayla and their decision to go public in an interview with LadyGunn Magazine in September.
“Honestly, I’ve been very open about the fact that I didn’t want to be public,” she said at the time.
“And so when we kind of got together, it was just – it was literally a day where she was teaching dance and the girls in the class and the boys in the class were kind of looking at us.

“Then someone said, ‘Why are you here, JoJo?’ And finally I just came up to her and I was like, ‘Yeah, why am I here?’
‘And I gave her [Wilson] the look like, “It’s okay, you can say,” and then they were filming that, and so we said, “You know what? It’s public. ”
It is not known how long the couple had been dating before going public with their romance earlier this year.
JoJo first gained attention as a contestant on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition in 2013, and later joined the cast of Dance Moms alongside her mother Jessalynn.
Her big break came when she released her debut single Boomerang in 2016, which became a viral hit for its anti-bullying message and racked up more than a billion views on YouTube.
JoJo built a personal brand with her signature oversized bows and colorful, energetic personality, leading to a lucrative merchandise empire and a successful YouTube channel.
By her late teens, she had branched out into acting and singing, cementing her status as a teen icon.
