Taylor Swift grooved her way onto the “Dancing with the Stars” stage … surprising contestants and the audience with a special video message for the night’s theme … “A Celebration of Taylor Swift.”
“Hey guys, it’s Taylor. I just want to say thank you so much for having this me-themed night on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’” the pop star said Tuesday … explaining she couldn’t be there due to tour commitments in Brazil.

Let’s not forget … Travis Kelce has also kept her preoccupied during their whirlwind, headline-grabbing romance … but there was no mention of him as she encouragingly told the remaining stars they were in good hands with her choreographer Mandy Moore — not the “This Is Us” star, FYI — with their routines.
Taylor’s best chart-topping tunes such as “Lover”, “Shake It Off”, “Look What You Made Me Do”, “Cruel Summer”, “August” and “Lavender Haze” were given the dancefloor treatment … but even the star’s good vibes couldn’t save Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold from elimination.
The evening was anticipated since October when pro Peta Murgatroyd let slip of the Taylor-themed evening … with cohost Alfonso Ribeiro finally confirming the news on November 7.

The star herself has appeared on the show three times to perform … first “Jump Then Fall” and “Love Story” in 2009, then “Mine” and “White Horse” in 2010 and finally “We Are Never Getting Back Together” in 2012.

And, though she hasn’t been back on the ‘DWTS’ since, one thing is certain … Taylor will always steal the spotlight even if she’s not onstage herself.
