JoJo Siwa revealed a shocking new look as she shared a glimpse at a new music video on Monday.

The 22-year-old singer teased her cover of Kim Carnes' 1981 hit Bette Davis Eyes, after getting a positive response when she performed it live during a concert.

During the rendition, she altered the lyrics to make it a tribute to her boyfriend Chris Hughes.

Siwa took inspiration from the Hollywood icon as she dressed in a 1930s-inspired blonde wig, a pearl necklace, and a frilly blue crop top in a clip shared on social media.

But some fans were recoiled by the 180-degree change in the former Dance Moms star's appearance.

Just three months ago, she sported a completely different look before coming out as queer after previously identifying as lesbian.

'Never thought I'd see the day where JoJo Siwa gets a boyfriend and becomes a trad wife,' one person wrote on X.

The term 'trad wife' is short for 'traditional wife,' and has gained momentum online amid a rise in social media content from women like Nara Smith who promote women playing a conventional domestic role in the home.

Someone else said about the pop star: 'She's setting us back decades, making men think it was actually "just a phase" and they can actually "turn us straight" if they want to. It's so bad.'

Another person weighed in, 'In all seriousness, JoJo Siwa is the perfect example of the rise in conservatism.'

There was also a reference to her 2024 song Karma, which was accompanied by a racy, provocative girl-on-girl music video.

A fan wrote on the app formerly known as Twitter, 'The concept of going from Karma to this...'

And someone else chimed in, 'We don't care about this queerbaiter lol.'

But some fans came to the entertainer's defense, with a social media user named @aidan7501 writing, 'She's purposely separating herself from the pop girlies and that's why she's the most interesting out of them. She's actually doing something different.'

JoJo has caught flack from critics when she went public with her Chris Hughes romance after she previously identified as lesbian

While starring on season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK, where she met Hughes, JoJo shared, 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, but I think being here, I've realized, "Oh no, I'm not lesbian; I'm queer." I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters.'

Later, while speaking to Us Weekly, the television personality said she thought the statement wouldn't make it to television.

'That was one of those conversations actually that I was having that I was like, "This will never see the light of day." I don't mind that it did, because I actually think it starts a very beautiful conversation of queer. I think queer joy is so special and so magical,' she told the outlet.

She went on to reject putting her sexuality 'in a box.'

'Queer is a beautiful umbrella term for the LGBTQIA community,' Siwa emphasized.

Before launching her romance with Huges, JoJo was in a brief relationship with Australian content creator Kath Ebbs, who is non-binary.

JoJo noted, 'I think that for me to be a woman and say I have a non-binary partner, but then also say I’m a lesbian is crazy.'

'I just realized within myself that the way my eyes are to the world, I think I’m just queer. It has nothing to do with anything besides that. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. The world is going crazy with that one though. It flabbergasts me.'
