Given that Britney Spears is one of the most important music video artists in contemporary pop music, it’s no surprise that the “Till the World Ends” singer served as the chief inspiration for Ariana Madix and Pasha Pashkov’s performance on Dancing With the Stars‘ Music Video Night on Tuesday (Nov. 7). Donning a costume fashioned […]

Dancing With the Stars will devote an entire night to Taylor Swift later this month during the Nov. 21st “A Celebration of Taylor Swift” episode.

Alyson Hannigan slayed the dance floor with a tango to Shakira’s “Can’t Remember to Forget You” featuring Rihanna on Dancing With the Stars‘ Latin Night on Tuesday (Oct. 3), and she’s eager to show off her ballroom moves to more tunes from music superstars.
After the show, during which the actress and pro partner Sasha Farber earned an impressive score of 19 for their week two performance, Hannigan spoke with Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly and shared who’s on her playlist wish list.
“Taylor Swift!” the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star declared excitedly and without hesitation, before emphasizing her answer a few more times for good measure. “Taylor Swift! Taylor Swift! I love Taylor Swift!”
“You know who I’d love to dance to?” Farber asked, to which the actress responded, “Taylor Swift?” Alas, the pro opted to keep it on theme for the night. “Becky G!” he shared.
But the Latin Night performances were over, and Hannigan was ready to move on from the genre. “I would love to dance to BLACKPINK!” she added to the confusion of Farber, who didn’t seem familiar with the K-pop superstars.
“BLACKPINK! K-pop!” Kelly informed the pro dancer. “One of the biggest groups! They performed at Coachella!”
“INCREDIBLE!” the actress added of the “How You Like That” singers.
Though there has not yet been word of a BLACKPINK-themed night, Farber’s fellow DWTS pro Peta Murgatroyd let slip to Billboard Tuesday night that a Taylor Swift evening was on its way to the ballroom bash. “We will be having a Taylor Swift week here,” shared Murgatroyd, who has won two seasons of ABC’s long-running dance competition. She is paired with Brady Bunch star Barry Williams this season. (Artem Chigvintsev, another of the show’s pro dancers, had also previously hinted on a podcast that Taylor week was happening.)
DWTS has not yet confirmed or announced a Swift-themed week, but the pop superstar is a vocal fan of the competition, and has performed on the show in the past.

Time for Taylor Swift’s “Mirrorball” to have a whole new meaning.

There will be no mirrorball trophy for Jamie Lynn Spears. The singer-actress — who was paired with pro dancer Alan Bersten — was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars in just week two of the competition on Tuesday (Oct. 3), and shared her thoughts on social media after the show. “Alan, you’re the absolute best […]
It turns out, Jason Mraz just wants to dance.
The 46-year-old artist has enjoyed an impressive recording career, yielding two Grammy Awards across two-plus decades, and earning the Hal David Songwriters Hall of Fame Award. Nine of his songs have impacted the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including two top 10s.
On Tuesday night (Sept. 26), Mraz showed off his other talents on the season 32 premiere episode of Dancing With The Stars, when he strutted his stuff with a Cha Cha.

Mraz and his dance partner Daniella Karagach danced to one of his own songs, “I Feel Like Dancing,” and landed a hattrick of sevens – placing the pair equal second, just one point from the top of the early leaderboard.
This hidden skill, Mraz pointed out, might have something to do with an unusual physical feature; he claims to have an extra vertebra in his spine.
Veep star Matt Walsh won’t be around to dance another day. After his own cha cha with Koko Iwasaki was bracketed in the bottom three, fans voted, the judges weighed in and Walsh was walking.
Mraz is competing for the Mirrorball Trophy, now renamed in honor of the late head judge Len Goodman.
Mraz will hope his DWTS run goes deep. On Sept. 22, Atlantic/Rhino will release the 15-year anniversary edition of We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. We Deluxe Edition.
The forthcoming collection will be available as a three-LP, two-CD set, and digitally. We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things originally peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, following its release in 2008, and is one of his five top 10 appearances on the albums chart. In June, Mraz released his eighth studio album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride.
