Dance Moms Star Maddie Zeigler Dishes on Her Back-to-School Must-Haves, Style Icons and More! (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)

Thanks to Sia’s “Chandelier” music video (it has more than 800 million times) and the popular reality show Dance Moms, 12-year-old Maddie Zeigler has become a household name. That’s why Target decided to tap the professional dancer for its new back-to-school campaign. PEOPLE went behind the scenes of Target’s latest denim commercial, where we asked Maddie all about her style, career and more!

Do you pick your outfits out the night before?
“I pick my outfit out the night before I’m going to a job, like this at the Target commercial. It depends, if I have any early call time I will pick out my outfit. But on a normal basis, I usually just wake up and go with the flow and just whatever is in my closet, I wear.”

What are your favorite trends right now?
“My favorite trends right now would have to be definitely the ripped jeans. A lot of people are wearing flannels and I like that, it’s the hip style. I also really like when you have a plain dress but then you use a pop of color in your shoe like a hot pink or blue or something.”

If you could dance with anyone, who would it be?
“I’m obsessed with Sam Smith, I love him so much. I actually had the opportunity to meet him at the Grammy’s. So, probably him or Katy Perry.”

What’s one thing your fans might not know about you?
“That I’m really good at drawing. I also can sing.

What do you think makes someone have great style?
“What I think makes a person have a good style or look is not dressing up and being a person you wouldn’t be. I don’t really like when they dress up just to match their best friend, but they would never wear it. I feel like whoever you are, dress like that. If you like wearing sweatpants, then wear sweatpants. It’s whoever you are; don’t try to be someone you’re not. That’s the person that like in style and not really caring what they look like and kind of dressing for who they are.”

You have a massive following on social media, what’s your favorite social media platform?
“My favorite social media app is Instagram, because you can post all your pictures and see what people are doing. Because it’s not just pictures it’s videos. I think more kids go on Instagram because they can show their pictures, videos and everything, and there are cool filters.”
