Sia debuts "Big Girls Cry" video starring Maddie Ziegler

Sia unveiled her music video for "Big Girls Cry" on Thursday, featuring an emotional performance from 12-year-old dancer Maddie Ziegler.

Ziegler (of "Dance Moms" fame) takes center stage in the video, which stays in a close-up as she goes through a variety of emotions and uses her hands to grab, push and pull at her body. The camera stays on her upper body nearly the entire time.

This is the third video Ziegler has starred in for Sia, following "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" (which also starred Shia LaBeouf). She also danced as the singer -- who conceals her face on red carpets and during live performances -- took the stage at the Grammys in February, joined by a fellow flesh-toned-leotard-wearing Kristen Wiig.
