Sia Apologizes for "Pedophilia" Connotations of "Elastic Heart" Video

Yesterday, Sia shared the video for “Elastic Heart” from last year’s 1000 Forms of Fear, which featured Shia LaBeouf and “Chandelier” dancer Maddie Ziegler engaged in a psychological dance-off. Now, Sia has apologized to viewers who were creeped out by the pairing. She tweeted:

I anticipated some ‘pedophelia!!!’ Cries for this video. All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play

These two warring ‘sia’ self states.

I apologize to those who feel triggered by #ElasticHeart My intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody.
