JoJo Siwa Takes the Crown (of Dislikes) And Celebrates YouTube Record Over Taylor Swift
Move over, Queen of Pop! In a surprising turn of events, JoJo Siwa is celebrating a rather dubious victory – the most disliked music video by a female artist in 2024 on YouTube. Yes, you read that right.
Siwa’s song “Karma,” released in April, has garnered a whopping 3.1 million dislikes, surpassing the likes of Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and even Taylor Swift’s “/ <S> Fortnite.” Swift’s video landed the number two spot with a comparatively tame 350,000 dislikes.
Siwa, ever the optimist, took to TikTok to celebrate her “record-breaking win.” In a lighthearted video, she counts down the list of top disliked videos, ending with a triumphant, “What a day to celebrate! Karma broke a record… 900% more than second place. A win is a win!”
The internet, however, has mixed reactions. While some fans support Siwa’s positive attitude, others question the merit of celebrating negativity. “Karma” has been criticized for its perceived childishness and repetitive lyrics. Whether the dislikes stem from genuine criticism or something else entirely remains unclear.
This isn’t the first time Siwa has courted controversy on YouTube. Her previous music video, “Licious,” also received a significant number of dislikes. However, Siwa’s large and dedicated fanbase, primarily young children, remains strong.
One thing’s for sure: Siwa has managed to generate significant buzz with “Karma,” even if it’s not the kind of attention most artists strive for. The song’s catchy melody and the drama surrounding the dislikes have propelled it into the spotlight.
So, is this a genuine victory for Siwa, or a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of online negativity? Only time will tell. But one thing’s certain: the internet is watching, and JoJo Siwa, for better or worse, is in the conversation.
