Lena Dunham Just Performed ‘Chandelier’ With Sia On ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’
All of your favourite things at once.
Sia doesn’t want to be a celebrity. It’s one of the many reasons she gives most of her best songs to other singers (including Rihanna, Beyonce, Katy Perry and Madonna), and why, when she appears on live TV, she faces the back of the stage.
But while she was accompanied on Ellen last month with the same child dancer who stars in her incredible ‘Chandelier’ film clip (11-year-old Maddie Ziegler, a fan favourite from reality show Dance Moms), it was Girls’ Lena Dunham who took the spotlight on Late Night with Seth Meyers, which just aired in the USA.
Sia sang face down on a bunk bed while Dunham danced around her in a matching blonde wig, tearing toilet paper, bashing props, and climbing the bunk’s ladder to straddle the back of the singer’s legs. It was as wonderful as it sounds.
