Ksinger Sia is now known for her iconic face-covering wig to evade the trappings of fame. So if she is so adverse to the limelight, should she expose a child to it?
SEE ALSO: Sia responds to creeper selling her nudes by giving it awayToday Sia addressed an article by Guardiancolumnist Bonnie Malkin, in which she discussed the ethics of Sia's collaboration with child dancer Maddie Ziegler.
In the article Malkin argues that although Sia deliberately eschews fame because she views it as damaging, she puts a minor in the spotlight in her place.
"The grown-up who has seen what fame can do and fears it has, perhaps unwittingly, handed it over to the child instead," writes Malkin.
Today Sia responded to the article with a series of tweets.

Another Guardianjournalist was pleased to have seen such a measured exchange of opinions.

The exchange is indeed respectful, but Sia doesn't fully explain what she means, for example when she says "fame affected her differently than how it affected me" she doesn't elaborate how the experience has been different for Ziegler. Moreover it's good that she "feels very protective" of the dancer, but she doesn't explain how that protectiveness takes form other than checking in with Ziegler. Then again it is Twitter, so given the format it's about as fulsome as you could expect.
