During a separate chat with \"GMA\" on social media, the \"Cheap Thrills\" singer took a moment to acknowledge the impact Black culture has had on her life and entertainment as a whole.
\"I can only assume that we'll be borrowing from Black culture for the rest of our existence,\" she added. \"I listened to only Black music growing up, so I owe everything I have to Black culture.\"

Sia on Maddie Ziegler
Sia has also stepped into a new role in her career, having directed a musical film titled \"Music\" that she co-wrote with her best friend, Dallas Clayton.
The movie stars the nine-time Grammy nominee's longtime collaborator Maddie Ziegler, in addition to Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom Jr. from \"Hamilton.\"
\"OK, so the movie's great,\" Sia said of the film. \"I'm going to break your heart, I'm going to put it back together again and you're going to love it.\"
As for the beginning of her friendship with Ziegler, 17, Sia said she watched the former \"Dance Moms\" star dance to \"Chandelier\" and \"immediately started to cry.\"
The famed songwriter said she felt the need to protect Ziegler, who was just 11 at the time, because she was \"suffering\" from PTSD from the reality show. She detected this because PTSD was a part of her life, too.
\"I recognized it in her and I just, I don't know what happened -- but the thought was, 'I have to protect her,'\" Sia continued. \"I knew she was going to be massively successful and that there would be so many opportunities for her to be taken advantage of.\"
