(Disney/Eric McCandless) JENNIFER AFFLECK, JAN RAVNIK Jen Affleck Defends Dancing With the Stars Partner Jan Ravnik After Maks Chmerkovskiy Criticizes Him Speaking about his upcoming return, Bergeron told TV Insider, “I’m just looking forward to being in an environment surrounded by people I really care about on live television, where there’s no second take. It’s my happy place.” In July 2020, Bergeron announced on Twitter that his tenure with DWTS was over, writing, “Just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me. It’s been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career. I’m grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made. That said, now what am I supposed to do with all of these glitter masks?” (His co-host, Erin Andrews, was also let go at the time.) Tom Bergeron – Dancing With the Stars In an October 2021 episode of Bob Saget’s Here for You podcast, Bergeron attributed his firing to a difference of opinion with the show’s new producer about the role of politics on the program, which he saw as “an oasis.” When former White House press secretary Sean Spicer was cast in Season 28, Bergeron was vocal with his displeasure on Twitter. “We differed on that, I was public about that, and I don’t think that sat well with the producer or the network,” Bergeron told Saget. (For what it’s worth, Bergeron later shard that he was planning to leave after Season 30, anyway, and he “would’ve hated” hosting during the COVID years.) 00:14 23:46 Following a change in leadership behind the scenes, Bergeron hinted at a potential return to the series this past August when he spoke with TV Guide Magazine in honor of the show’s milestone season. “Conrad Green, who’s the showrunner now, was my first showrunner. When the show hit its 500th episode, he [asked], ‘Would you come and sit in the audience?’ and I said, ‘No, I’d get too fidgety,’” Bergeron recalls. “But we had lunch six weeks ago [prior to this interview], and I presented to him a scenario in which I would come back for one night.” Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC.

Blake Shelton leaned down and whispered, “Bailee, it’s your turn.” The crowd quieted as 17-year-old Bailee Ann—Jelly Roll’s daughter—stepped onto the stage. Her dad was just 23 and behind bars when she was born. Now she was here, clutching the microphone like it might slip from her hands. The song was Tears Could Talk—the one she and her dad wrote when she was only ten. Her first note was barely a whisper, soft and trembling. Blake stayed beside her, his voice calm and steady, holding her up with every harmony. Then something shifted. With each line, her voice grew stronger, her shoulders straighter.

At a sold-out show in Nashville on November 6, Keith Urban did something no one saw coming—and it left the entire arena in complete silence. Midway through his set, he paused, took a deep breath, and quietly dedicated a song to someone who was no longer there. It had been 92 days since the passing of Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband, and Keith chose to honor him in the most personal way possible. With the stage lights dimmed and only an acoustic guitar in his hands, he began to play a brand-new song he’d written himself—“Chuck Taylors.” Maggie Baugh joined softly on backing vocals, but it was Keith’s voice—raw, steady, and breaking at times—that carried the weight.
