She included another photo of herself hugging Ziegler and brief clips of them doing some epic dance moves across the hood of the car. In December last year, Sia spoke out about her relationship with Ziegler, which some people have criticized because the singer often features the teen’s face in her work when she doesn’t want to show her own.

I feel very protective of her and my goal is to empower her in whatever choices she makes. Some would argue a teenager can’t or shouldn’t be charged with making sound choices for themselves and so I do try to choose the best for her always.”
