Alanis Morissette is the original Maddie Ziegler (and 10 other things you oughta know about her)

1. Alanis Morissette rocked a nude unitard (festooned with anatomical flourishes, for the 2004 Juno Awards) long before Sia, Maddie Ziegler and Kristen Wiig.

2. When opening for Vanilla Ice in 1991, she was instructed not to look him in the eye.

3. She still has post-traumatic stress disorder from the Jagged Little Pill-era: “It was a profound violation. It felt like every millisecond I was attempting to set a boundary and say no and people were breaking into my hotel rooms and going through my suitcase and pulling my hair and jumping on my car,” she told the Guardian.

5. The first time she heard Bob Dylan was when she was five-years-old, sitting in the back of her parents VW, driving on the Autobahn — her family was living in Germany at the time.

6. She met former fiancé Ryan Reynolds at Drew Barrymore’s birthday party. They were engaged for three years and never married.

7. Alanis married Mario “Souleye” Treadway in 2010, after a series of high-profile relationships.

"I think it affords the child, when he grows up, to have a lot less therapy to go to.”

9. She took the ice bucket challenge and nominated Gloria Steinem.

10. “I live kind of communally,” she told Runner’s World, explaining she has futons all over the house.

11. She's still happy she made this video — which she also directed — even though people told her it was not rock ’n’ roll enough:
