Maddie Ziegler's Twitter Reveals A Lot

by Caroline Gerdes

Despite her huge success, Maddie Ziegler has, what Cher Horowitz would call, a way normal life for a [pre]teenage girl — just take a look at Maddie Ziegler's Twitter! Sure, her cover photo is more fabulous than yours, just a pic with Sia at the Grammy’s, NBD. And OK, she’s a model, insanely talented dancer, brand ambassador, burgeoning actress, star of reality hit Dance Moms, and, you know, just plain cool. But, if you look past the wunderkind’s tweets sharing media shout-outs and posts where she is hanging out with celebrities like Taylor Swift, you see that Maddie Ziegler's tweets reveal her normal life isn't all Dance Moms all the time. In fact, the 12-year-old dancer isn’t that different from any other tween. Really!

Her bio reads like most pre-teens, well except for the reality TV mention. Maddie talks about loving friends, family, and dance, calling out her dance school with hashtag #aldcdanceralwaysandforever! Plus her emoji game is on point. On her account, Maddie cheers on her friends, shares life events, and posts fun pictures, just like any kid... but to an audience 830,000 followers.

With her tween-tastic tweets in mind, here are all of the times we learned about Maddie’s real, 12-year-old life on Twitter.
