Sia is a live performer known for her elaborate stage sets and help from some of her famous friends, and on Sunday night (Feb. 8), the 1000 Forms of Fear singer brought along Kristen Wiig and her frequent collaborator Maddie Zeigler of Dance Moms for a stunning, theatric performance of her Grammy-nominated single "Chandelier."
Playing off the nominated music video, Sia did her typical televised performance trope of standing with her back to the audience, letting interpretive dancers shine in the spotlight. Wiig, a surprise guest of Sia's, wore a stark blonde wig and jumpsuit as she played the sad clown, dancing around a blinking light, ratty apartment with a mattress against the wall and trash strewn across the floor. Pouring in the emotions of heartbreak and self-loathing, Wiig's Saturday Night Live persona was long gone in these three minutes, instead replaced by a stunning dancer.
After the first chorus, Wiig collapsed into a chair, allowing for Zeigler to take over and do her spectacular ballet moves. Soon, the two battled each other in dance, taking to a torn-down hallway set before ripping off their jumpsuits in favor of the signature nude Sia leotards. In a night full of stunning performances, Sia, once again, stole the show.
