Hayley Kiyoko Alcroft, known professionally as Hayley Kiyoko, is an American actress, singer and dancer who plays Stella Yamada from the Disney Channel film Lemonade Mouth. Not being the target demographic of anything on the Disney Channel, I hadn’t heard of Hayley or the film until I saw tweets about her getting kicked out of the Apple Store at the Grove in L.A. for her flash mob with co-star Chris Dupre (and a gaggle of dancers!). While there is speculation that this was some sort of corporate-concocted promotion for the movie, Hayley says to her YouTube followers:
Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know that the apple store had NO idea we were going to flash mob them….disney had absolutely NO involvement in this video.
We rehearsed THAT day with the dancers and literally walked in, in hopes that everything would go as planned….Just wanted to clear that up!!! :)
And I also wanted to THANK EVERYONE for watching our video and supporting lemonade mouth!! Turn YOUR world into a dance floor….Love you all!!xoxo
I think if this song had been like 30 seconds shorter, they would have made it out of the Apple Store without getting ushered out. That said, does someone have something that can erase this song from my mind? The hook is annoyingly catchy, which means I have to share the love…
