Taylor Swift Appears on DWTS Ahead of Tribute Episode

Tuesday marked Whitney Houston Night on Season 32 of DWTS. During the show, host Alfonso Ribeiro introduced a “special message” from Swift herself. In a video on the screen, the pop star appeared in an outfit she wears on her Eras Tour.

“I can’t wait to see Dancing with the Stars‘ celebration of my eras next week,” Swift said in the clip. “I wish I could be there with you guys, but I’m on tour in Brazil. But I will be there in spirit, and I’ll be watching.”

During next week’s “Celebration of Taylor Swift,” the remaining six couples will be dancing to some of the singer’s biggest hits. Sitting on the panel as a guest judge will be Mandy Moore, who worked on Swift’s Eras Tour as a choreographer.

Swift is currently on the South American leg of her Eras Tour. Last week, she performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This weekend, she’ll be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before heading to São Paulo next week.
