JoJo Siwa Changes Her Name Ahead of Major 2026 Plans
New year, new name!
JoJo Siwa is entering 2026 with a new name and some big plans. The 22-year-old musician, dancer and social media star made a noticeable change to her TikTok profile on New Year’s Eve.
Fans spotted that the “Karma” singer listed her name as “Joelle Siwa” to her 46 million followers on TikTok.
In one Reddit thread, fans pointed out that Siwa’s boyfriend, Chris Hughes, has also taken to calling her “Joelle” in his since-expired Instagram story.
In her final TikTok before 2026, Siwa teased some potential upcoming projects in a video of her lipsyncing to her 2016 song “Boomerang.”
“Any plans for 2026?” the TikTok reads, with a “Me:” above Siwa.
“What a year it is ahead ✨🤍” Siwa captioned the video.
