The ballroom was officially swankified for Wicked Night on Dancing with the Stars! From flying troupe members to pirouetting celebs and a few suspiciously rigged moments, Broadway magic met ballroom chaos. We had shocking sendoffs (Scott and Rylee), Jordan and Ezra holding space for that first-place trophy, and Whitney and Mark's "cancelled giveaway" moment. Grab your broomsticks.. this recap is pure Emerald City energy.

It’s another week of sequins, chaos, and controversy in the ballroom.
I’m breaking down all the top drama moments from this week’s episode of Dancing with the Stars Disney Night!— from Alix and Val’s stunning “Once Upon a Dream” that was criminally underscored, to Hilaria and Gleb’s dramatic exit (and almost-kiss?).

We’ve got Whitney saying her song choice was “above my pay grade”, Andy and Emma somehow hanging on, and Jen’s Taylor Swift controversy possibly shaking her fan votes. Plus, the troupe’s TRON-inspired performance stole the entire night— and I have thoughts.

Listen now for my unfiltered recap of every shocking moment, messy rumor, and overhyped dance of the week (cough cough Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas)..

and of course, Taylor Frankie Paul is officially the bachelorette,

and we touch on the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

This week’s episode is pure chaos in the best way. I’m unpacking everything from the lawsuit circus with Cardi B (and the ghosts of past celeb lawsuits like Taylor Swift and Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard).

Discussing the viral TikTok that exposed a gynecologist practice for posting photos of patients’ private discharge (yep, it’s as bad as it sounds), Sabrina Carpenter’s new album, Wednesday Season 2 + The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 brain rot, and frolicking with Butterflies while I am still stressed about trees.

Dancing With the Stars cast announcement hype, and my ongoing journey of trial and error with lash clusters. Basically? It’s one of those episodes where everything and nothing makes sense, but you’ll feel like you’re on the phone with a friend.
