Mark your calendars, Swifties and dance aficionados! On November 21, ABC’s hit show ‘Dancing With The Stars’ is orchestrating a dazzling tribute to the one and only Taylor Swift. The special event, aptly titled “A Celebration of Taylor Swift,” promises to immerse viewers in an evening filled with the sensational beats of Swift’s chart-topping melodies.

Six dynamic couples will take to the dance floor, each set to perform routines choreographed to some of Swift’s most iconic tracks. And there’s a sparkling twist – Mandy Moore, the acclaimed choreographer from Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, will grace the evening as a special guest judge. The anticipation is tangible, as the details on the couples, their dance styles, and the chosen Swift hits remain under wraps, set to be unveiled closer to the show date.

The celebration will broadcast live from 8 p.m. to 10:01 p.m. EST/PST (7 p.m. to 9:01 p.m. CST), with the added thrill of a simulcast on both ABC and Disney+, aligning with local time zones. For those who miss the live spectacle, fret not – the episode will be available the following day on Hulu.

While the event has been in the pipeline for some time, it coincides interestingly with Taylor Swift’s new romance with Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ running back. With the Chiefs-Eagles game airing the night before, there’s buzz around potential cross-promotion, especially considering Swift’s support for the Eagles.

Viewers across the EST and CST zones will have the power to vote live during the broadcast. Online voting extends this privilege to fans all over the U.S., its territories, and Canada, ensuring everyone can have their say.

The show, co-hosted by the charismatic duo of Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, has long captivated audiences with its high-energy dance-offs featuring celebrities and professional ballroom dancers. With a panel of esteemed judges like Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough, the competition is always fierce and the entertainment, unparalleled.

Produced by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ continues to dazzle with its live performances, and this Taylor Swift “Celebration” night is poised to be a spectacular homage to the musical powerhouse that is Taylor Swift. Get ready to shake it off and step into a night of rhythm, romance, and remarkable performances!
