Dancing with the Stars Grammy Night airs on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+. It is the first Grammy-themed episode in the show’s history, and it comes with live performances from Brandy, Monica, Maren Morris and Sheryl Crow, plus a dance-off round between the seven remaining couples.
The theme night was announced during Disney Night on November 2, and the full list of songs and dances was revealed on the show’s official podcast on November 4. Here is everything to know: who is performing, what each couple is dancing, and how to watch.
When and where to watch Grammy Night
Grammy Night airs live on Tuesday, November 10, from 8 to 10 p.m. ET on ABC, and streams at the same time on Disney+. Episodes are available to stream on Hulu the next day. The show is back in its usual Tuesday slot after Disney Night moved to Monday, November 2, because of Election Day coverage.
This is the last theme night of season 35 before the semi-finals. Seven couples are left, and at least one will be eliminated on the night.
Brandy and Monica headline the night
Brandy and Monica will perform live on Grammy Night, joining Maren Morris and Sheryl Crow. The booking fits the theme well: in 1999, Brandy and Monica won the Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group for “The Boy Is Mine,” the chart-topping duet that still defines both of their careers. As reported in That Grape Juice’s report on the Brandy and Monica booking, the two stars reunited just days ago at the 2026 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York.
The seven remaining couples will also compete in dance-offs set to the live performances, which is a new twist for the season. The couples will dance head-to-head, and the judges’ scores from the dance-offs will count towards the night’s results.
Who has immunity from the dance-off?
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson will sit out the dance-off round. They earned immunity by scoring the highest marks on Disney Night, when they performed a jazz routine to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Mary Poppins. They will still perform their regular routine on Grammy Night, a salsa to “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.
Disney Night also produced two perfect scores. Shum and Johnson earned one, and Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy earned the other for their quickstep to “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast. The night ended with Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa going home after their paso doble to “Satisfied” from Hamilton, as described in TheWrap’s recap of Disney Night. Grammy winner Cynthia Erivo was the guest judge for that episode.
Every couple’s song and dance
Each couple will dance to a Grammy-winning song. Here is the full list:
- Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov: Paso doble to “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence
- Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold: Argentine tango to “SexyBack” by Justin Timberlake
- Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach: Argentine tango to “Crazy in Love” (Remix) by Beyoncé
- Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson: Salsa to “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars
- Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy: Jazz to “All For You”
- Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas: Argentine tango to “Thong Song” by Sisqó
- Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik: Tango
Three Argentine tangos in one night is a lot, and it will be interesting to see how the judges separate them. The most talked-about routine is likely to be Amber Glenn’s paso doble. Glenn, a three-time US national champion figure skater who won team gold with Team USA at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in February, has been one of the season’s most consistent performers.

Who is left in season 35?
Seven couples are left in the race for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy: Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik, Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy, Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach, Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov, Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas, Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson, and Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold.
Paralympic champion Ezra Frech is still seen as the favourite. The 21-year-old won gold in the 100 metres and the high jump at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, and he has been near the top of the leaderboard all season. Amber Glenn is seen as his biggest challenger after a string of strong scores.
After Grammy Night, the show moves to the semi-finals in week 10, followed by the finale. With only seven couples left, every score matters now, and a weak night on Grammy Night could end a frontrunner’s run.
