[shirleykim]

Her: says hanging from the ceiling by hair doesn’t hurt
Me: cries while taking hair tie out😂😂

[avaleeee]

Nobody is going to be snatching her wig.

[brengz]

I can’t even keep my hair up in a bun without feeling like my scalp is being torn away.

[owndugqjr]

Imagine trying to pull her hair in a fight and she just doesn’t react

[DanilaBim]

Thank you so much for sharing my work. I had a great time shooting this interview! ❤️

Her: hanging from the ceiling by her hair doesn’t hurt

Me: cries when my mom is braiding my hair

[averygarner]

And her scalp is no where near as high as Jojo siwas

TWO HOURS hours of trombone DAILY?! One does not casually do that. She is really good at practicing.

[mai]

"and then I play around 2 hours of my trombone"

Honestly so unexpected I love it 😂💕

[lilycagle]

Everyone: focused on how she hangs by her hair
Me, a musician : this woman, just whips out her trombone and passes it off like it's nothing

[ladyauri]

Tbh i was hoping for secrets of having such a strong hair

[josephinemcpherson]

I had the honor of watching her perform live, and honestly it was magical. Like the whole crowd just held their breathe and watched her twirl. The jewels on her outfit reflected the light and she was basically a human disco ball.

[JustNatax]

Her act looks so... surreal! The way she's floating over the stage. hauntingly beautiful.

[jrbls]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER TOES DID YALL SEE HOW THOSE WERE BENT A WHOLE 180° ANGLE

[Patrick_Simon_Sanad]

I loved it. Though it would have been so interesting seeing how she tied the knots and adjusted the headpiece.

[savannahroot]

Hearing that she only started training for the circus at 18 made me feel really good because I have always wanted to work for Cirque du Soleil as an aerialist thought I would never be able to since I didn't start any aerial until I was 13 but hearing her story made me happy

[giomateoarias]

Who's here after watching Lindsey Stirling !!! OMG This looks painful to learn, and I admire the courage it takes to learn this!!!

[Mattisttam]

Jojo Siwa: “My iconic ponytail and bows”
Cirque du Soleil Performer: “Hold my scalp”

[likemycommentgurl]

*My hairline is receding just by watching this*

[eloisemarie]

I had no idea she really hung just by her hair... did not know it was possible. Her act is so calming while spectacular. Bravo!
