Peace Out, Pride!!!
Cancels Chicago Show After Going Public with Chris Hughes
Published
JoJo Siwa has cancelled her Chicago Pride performance amid her new romance with Chris Hughes — and just days after postponing her entire U.S. tour!
The “Dance Moms” alum has yet to address disappointed fans herself — though the show’s organizer — Back Lot Bash Chicago — blamed a “scheduling conflict” on her no-show.
TMZ reached out to her reps for comment … so far, no word back.
JoJo was expected to hit the stage June 29 at Back Lot Bash, a Pride inclusive music festival set to coincide with Chicago’s Pride weekend.

The Pride cancellation comes after the former child star admitted she felt pressured to define herself as a lesbian … from past partners and even from the LGBTQ+ community.
She now describes herself as queer … and is in a blossoming new relationship with her “Celebrity Big Brother UK” castmate Chris Hughes — the first male she’s publicly dated since coming out in 2021.
On top of that, this cancellation definitely has us scratching our heads … especially because it follows the postponement of her U.S. tour dates — so what she’s busy with, we’ve got no idea.
JoJo announced the news on her tour website just last week … saying her heart is broken over the postponement while also teasing new concerts in Europe — perhaps giving her more time to hang with her British beau.
Her website hasn’t been updated since … so it looks like fans will have to hang tight for a bit.
