Tuesday’s new <\/span>Dancing With the Stars<\/a> <\/span><\/em>was a celebration of <\/span>Taylor Swift<\/a> and her ground-breaking <\/span>Eras Tour<\/a>, and the show kicked off with a special message from the “Anti-Hero” songstress herself.<\/span><\/p>\n Swift appeared in a pre-taped message projected on the massive screen above the<\/span> DWTS<\/span><\/em> ballroom, and the singer was all smiles as she shared a special message for <\/span>the remaining six celeb-pro couples<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n “Hey guys, it’s Taylor! I wanted to say, thank you so much for having this me-themed night on <\/span>Dancing With the Stars<\/span><\/em>,” the singer said with a smile as the panel of judges — including special guest judge, <\/span>choreographer Mandy Moore<\/a> — watched from their table beside the dance floor.<\/span><\/p>\n “I so wish I could be there to see what you and your choreographers — and my friend Mandy Moore — have put together,” Swift continued in her message. “I really wish I could be there, but I’m on tour in Brazil.”<\/span><\/p>\n “But I’m sending you guys all my love and best of luck to all the contestants,” she concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n Moore — who developed all of the choreography for Swift’s acclaimed Eras Tour performances — joined Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli to provide feedback and scores for the season’s Top Six couples, who all delivered routines set to Swifts’ songs.<\/span><\/p>\n Moore is no stranger to <\/span>Dancing With the Stars <\/span><\/em>either. She worked with the show for several years, from season 20 to season 25, and served as a guest judge once before in Season 24.<\/span><\/p>\n Swift, meanwhile, <\/span>just finished a challenging set of tour stops<\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0Estadio Nilton Santos stadium in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, where a punishing heatwave forced Swift to postpone a show, and even struggle to breathe during her time on stage.<\/span><\/p>\n However, she’s scheduled to continue the South American leg of her Eras Tour on Nov. 24, with a three-night engagement in\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a> airs Tuesdays\u00a0<\/span>Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a>\u00a0airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET\/PT on ABC and Disney+.<\/span><\/p>\n
