Say goodbye to the iconic slicked-back side-pony because JoJo Siwa has well and truly entered her villain era.

The 20-year-old entertainer initially rose to fame on the reality TV show Dance Moms, where she was known for her bright and bubbly personality, as well as her unique style.

But it seems as though she’s now ditching the glitter for a different aesthetic altogether.

In recent red carpet snapshots for the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Siwa was seen wearing an all-black mesh ensemble, which consisted of a cut-out mesh one-piece that had metallic sleeves and bottoms. The look was paired with some chunky, open-front boots and an intense rock glam, with a funky updo.

Have a look at the full 'fit below:

Fans, as well as other stars at the event, were left speechless as the star strutted her stuff, posing for pictures with her tongue out or pointing directly at the camera as she smiled.

I mean, it's definitely a change, that's for sure.

Social media users just couldn't get over it.

"WTF DO JOJO SIWA GOT ON LMFAOOO WHY SHE LOOK LIKE A WWE DIVA," wrote one user, while another added: "Is Jojo Siwa trying to join Kiss bc what the hell is happening here?"

One commented: "that’s not jojo siwa that’s a new member of @kiss," and: "i get jojo siwa wanting to change her style but where the hell did this KISS/WWE inspo come from."

Others added: "Jojo Siwa's rebrand is giving nothing but WWE core", and: "Jojo Siwa looks like she about to headline Wrestlemania with this outfit! I LOVE IT.. hoping someone will recreate this and put it on WWE 2K24 Community creations."

Another joked: "Remember when everyone was like, someday Jojo Siwa is gonna get tired of having her brand be a grown adult toddler and she’s gonna do her version of post-Disney overcorrection rebellion..."

And here she is.

The new look serves a similar aesthetic to her latest - and highly explicit track - titled 'Karma', which she warned beforehand may contain "disturbing or offensive" lyrics, adding that the track was "not made for children."

And judging by the lyrics, you’ll certainly be skipping this one on shuffle if your kids are around.

In a teaser snippet posted to Instagram, the lyrics read: "I was a bad girl, I did some bad things. I swear I did it all for fun and it meant nothing."

And it only gets wilder as the track goes on.

"Thou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat. Thou shall not get caught, or you'll end up just like me," - before the chorus kicks in: "Karma is a b****, I should've known better. If I had a wish, I would've never F'd around. When I saw the pics of you and her, I felt the knife twist. Karma is a b****. And she's with you right now."

I mean, go off, JoJo!

The track was accompanied by a range of interesting images, one of which showed the social media personality flipping off the camera while holding another woman's waist. Another image showed her seemingly making out with two women.

While some fans were shocked to see their childhood fave act in such a manner, others were excited to see Siwa switch her squeaky-clean "good girl" image for a more edgy one.

And with the release of the official music video just two days away, we can't wait to see what she does next.
