“I don’t think followers are a big deal.
Of course, Mackenzie is too busy to be concerned with how many Instagram followers she has.
Here’s a look at the stunning transformation of Mackenzie Ziegler.
While dancing may have skyrocketed the younger Ziegler sister to fame, it was not Mackenzie’s first love.
According to Mackenzie, she was passionate about something else before dance stole her heart.
And, like other teens her age, Mackenzie has to go to school to get an education.
Of course, her demanding schedule as a star means Mackenzie can’t exactly attend a normal high school.
And according to Mackenzie and Maddie, those problems were only exacerbated during theirDance Momsdays.
“[We] used to fight every single day onDance Moms,” added big sister Maddie.
Mackenzie chalked up her rocky relationship and fraughtrelationship with Maddieto being with her sister all day, every day.
The formerDance Momsstar continued, saying, “Now, [Maddie and I] are best friends.”
Added Mackenzie, “She’s really supportive of me, which is so awesome.”
However, when she first appeared on our television screens, Mackenzie was just a kid.
It’s no big deal.”
Added the formerDance Momsstar, “I wouldn’t be here without [the show].”
Added Mackenzie, “You do everything for me and I’m so thankful.
Love you so much.”
Unfortunately, however, that doesn’t mean she was immune to being bullied.
The formerDance Momsstar continued, saying, “She just always hurts my feelings and hates me.”
Here’s hoping Mackenzie is just as quick to defend herself against bullying!
In 2016, Mackenzie released the single “Day & Night” with fellow singer Johnny Orlando.
Mackenzie continued, saying, “I always find the bright side of things.”
“Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved reading.
And so I wanted to write my own book,” Mackenzie told the publication.
I’m going to start with a memoir about myself.'"
Outside of that world, though, it could be challenging to make friends.
And according to Mackenzie, her relationship with her costars has even benefited their YouTube series.
Added the star, “It was super fun filming with them.”
That’s not to say it’s been easy for her, though.
Fortunately, Mackenzie has plenty of creative outlets into which she can funnel her teen angst.
Music is her favorite way to wind down, destress, and turn her thoughts and feelings into art.
According to Mackenzie, music offers a certain freedom that her other passion, dance, simply cannot.
“With dance, you have to be prepared.
If you don’t know a dance, you’re cut.
But with singing, you might literally say whatever,” Mackenzie toldElite Daily.
Added the formerDance Momsstar, “It’s really cool.”
That said, Mackenzie did admit that social media has taught her an invaluable life lesson.
“Social media has made me really humble,” Mackenzie revealed.
“Thirteen-year-olds are face-tuning themselves to look skinnier,” Mackenzie opined.
Added the star, “I just want to tell them, ‘It doesn’t matter!
You’re thirteen, just live your life!'”
