JoJo touched down in Australia last week and first visited Melbourne for her one-off club performance before jetting over to Sydney.
She has been joined by her mother Jessalynn Down Under and is gearing up to perform at the 2024 TikTok Awards on Wednesday evening.
She will be performing at the Hordern Pavilion for a one-off Sydney show in her first visit Down Under since her Dream tour in January 2020.
‘After four long years, it’s going to be freaking amazing to return to Australia – I’ve even gotten a kangaroo tattoo since my last visit,’ JoJo said of her return.
‘On TikTok I get to connect with fans all over the world and share my music with them, and now I get to do both with my Aussie fans in real life at the TikTok Awards.’
TikTok will be presenting 13 awards, including Creator of the Year, Music Artist of the Year and Video of the Year, with new awards in Food, Beauty and Fashion categories also making their debut.
Robert Irwin, Indy Clinton and Kat Clark will take on hosting duties on the night, which celebrates TikTok’s most iconic and viral moments of the year.

JoJo’s epic trip Down Under for the awards comes just days after she confirmed her split from her girlfriend Dakayla.
She shared the news of their separation at the 11th Annual American Reality Television Awards last week, three months after they made their romance public.
She told People: ‘We have gone our separate ways, but she is an amazing girl, and I got my own fun holiday plans, and I know she’s got her family that she’s spent the holidays with, I’m happy for her that she has [them].’
They first met when JoJo was a judge on Dakayla’s season of So You Think You Can Dance, on which she placed second.
Their romance first came to light in August when JoJo accompanied Dakayla to a dance class, with a video showing her tell the students she had a girlfriend.
JoJo then opened up about her romance with Dakayla and their decision to go public in an interview with LadyGunn Magazine in September.
‘Honestly I’ve been very open about not wanting to be public,’ she shared at the time.

‘And so when we kind of got together, it was just — it was literally one day where she was teaching a dance class and the girls in the class and the boys in the class were like, kind of looking at us.
‘Then one was like, ‘Why are you here, JoJo?’ And finally I just came up to her and I was like, ‘Yeah, why am I here?”
‘And I gave her [Wilson] the look like, ‘It’s okay, you can say,’ and then they were videoing that, and so we were like, ‘You know what? It’s public.”’
It is not known how long the couple had been dating before they went public with their romance earlier this year.
JoJo first gained attention as a contestant on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition in 2013, later joining the cast of Dance Moms alongside her mother Jessalynn.
Her big break came when she released her debut single Boomerang in 2016, which became a viral hit for its anti-bullying message, amassing over a billion views on YouTube.
JoJo built a personal brand with her signature oversized bows and colorful, energetic persona, leading to a lucrative merchandise empire and a successful YouTube channel.
By her late teenage years, she had expanded into acting and singing, cementing her status as a teen icon.
