MADDIE ZIEGLER REALLY WANTS ICE CREAM. SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PLAN, and when she’s informed that our interview will actually be held in the lobby coffee shop of her Brooklyn hotel, she’s visibly disappointed. “I’m sure we could actually walk to ice cream,” she suggests. “I’m sure there’s one around here.” There is, in fact, an Ample Hills Creamery a few blocks away. When we arrive, her wide blue eyes—the size and shape of Disney princess eyes—light up. Her favourite flavour is chocolate chip, but when they don’t have that she settles on two scoops of sweet cream and cookies with “a lot of chocolate sprinkles on top.”
It’s just a small way that the 16-year-old Ziegler reminds me that she is, in fact, still a teen. There are other indicators too: A parent has to be present at anything work-related, from photoshoots to days on set. (Her mother, Melissa Gisoni, even calls halfway through our interview to check-in.) But when Ziegler says, “I don’t want people to think I’m taking everything too serious. I’m still a kid. I still need to be a kid,” it sounds decidedly unkidlike.
Ziegler feels like she’s “lived a longer life than 16 years.” Anyone who’s been following her career might feel that way too: She first entered American households at age eight on the hit Lifetime reality series Dance Moms. She was then tapped by singer-songwriter Sia (for whom Ziegler has become something of a muse, while Sia’s become a “godmom” to Ziegler in exchange) to star in the 2014 music video for “Chandelier,” which has more than two billion YouTube views to date.
