On March 24, the “Karma” singer and dancer announced the JoJo Siwa Live Tour, which offers a $900 Dream Guest VIP package that allows fans to curate the show’s set list and grants them backstage access while the crew sets up the stage. Since then, she received online backlash for seemingly having fans pay to help build her concert stages. But Siwa is clearing up any misconceptions about the VIP packages.
“I would love to actually explain this for the people. We figured out how to do an experience that hasn’t been done that often before,” JoJo told PEOPLE, explaining that fans can be involved in setting up the show’s stage “if they want.”
“I kind of explain it like you’re my ‘that city’ bestie for the day. You’re gonna be hanging out, it’s gonna be fun. Like, we’ll probably order some pizza if you want some pizza. It’s just gonna be a ball. And then of course, you’ll get to watch soundcheck. We’ll do the normal Q&A, we’ll do meet and greet,” she added. Only 4 Dream Guest VIP packages are available in each city.
She further clarified that fans are not building sets…
JoJoSiwa is continuing to make waves not only with her iconic style but also with an exciting new twist on her upcoming North American tour.

“First of all, not only would that be dangerous, but it would also be psycho of me,” Siwa said. “They can help create the set,” she clarified.
“If they want to join in on the fun, they totally can. If they would just rather sit back and watch, they totally can,” Siwa further explained.
“There’s going to be this point in the show that is interchangeable every night and they’re going to have their selection of what they want they want that part to be. So, those Dream Guest VIPs are going to be the ones who choose what that part of the show is.”
When the Gayety reporter jokingly asked if VIP fans need to bring “power tools” to her shows, Siwa laughed. “Yeah no. God, no. I have been seeing (the rumors) on TikTok and I’m like, you guys are crazy… I’m like, people really think that low of me?”
Naturally this whole debacle conjured up some jokes online….
