In her JoJo Siwa Now podcast, JoJo Siwa discussed how her grandmother had been supportive of her decision to include alcohol in her stage acts. Amidst her punk rebranding, these moments have quickly become some of the most unforgettable parts of her performances.

JoJo Siwa's grandmother lets her take a shot on stage

JoJo Siwa mentioned that she got this idea during a rehearsal session for Yesterday's Tomorrow's Today just after she turned 21 years old. She recalled how she made up her mind to take one drink before her performance and mentioned that when she told her grandmother about it, grandma supported her. According to People, the Karma singer recalled:

"I was like, ‘I wanna f***ing take a shot before this.’ And my grandma was like, ‘Alright, JoJo. You should do it.’ And I was like, alright. Let's do it!"

Her support has resulted in her taking shots as a ritual presently when on stage. Particularly during Pride celebrations, Siwa takes a shot of liquor, and she recalls the crowd going ballistic in joy. She spoke about how this has excited crowds, such as at LA Pride at the Park, where she came out with a Tito’s Vodka bottle, chugging it in front of her audience.
