While fans shouldn’t expect to see Kevin on DWTS in the future, he insisted that he is a fan of the show.
“I will say, we watch the show,” he said. “It’s very fun. I feel like it’s really back. Dancing With the Stars is fully back.”

Kevin, Joe and Nick concluded the topic by saying that one of their songs might be featured on an upcoming episode of DWTS. “I’m pretty sure they’re about to perform one of our songs,” Kevin teased.
