Let's be real: When it comes to the many Pride events that took place across the US last month, JoJo Siwa was the talk of the town.

JoJo ended up performing at several events in locations like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City — and she didn't always receive a warm reception.

During her NYC appearance as part of Trixie Mattel's event, she ended up cursing out the crowd after getting booed. Rough stuff!

If you were paying attention to the general shenanigans across the month, you also probably saw pics of JoJo swigging from a bottle of Tito's vodka during her Los Angeles Pride performance as well.

During a recent episode of her JoJo Siwa Now podcast, JoJo revealed why she incorporated that into her set — and, more fascinatingly, who encouraged her to do so.

“This idea of doing this stemmed from, I was in rehearsals and we were starting a new routine [for] ‘Yesterday's Tomorrow's Today,’ and my 21st birthday had just passed,” she explained.

“I was like, ‘I wanna fucking take a shot before this.’ And my grandma was like, ‘Alright, JoJo. You should do it.’ And I was like, alright. Let's do it!”

JoJo also explained that, as her swigging ritual became a "big thing" after the show, some questioned whether it was really booze she was drinking out of the bottle — and, according to her, it really was.

“I brought out a jug of Tito's, and people were like, ‘Woah. What are you doing? Is it real? Is it fake?’” she recalled.

"And I was like, ‘Bitch, it is what it fucking is. It's a bottle of Tito's.’”
