Bachelorette: Kaitlyn Bristowe Joins Dancing With The Stars Tour

Bachelorette co-host Kaitlyn Bristowe has joined the official Dancing With The Stars Live tour which kicks off on Friday, January 7, 2022 in Richmond, Virginia. In June 2020, Chris Harrison offered Kaitlyn a spot on the 29th season of Dancing With The Stars during The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons Ever. Ecstatic, she accepted without hesitation. Kaitlyn and her partner Artem Chigvinstev won that season in November 2020. She earned perfect scores for five dances during the last three weeks of the show. Fans now have the chance to see her perform those iconic routines live.

Kaitlyn rose to stardom after appearing on Chris Soules’ 2015 season of The Bachelor and then her own season of The Bachelorette in that same year. Although she got engaged to Shawn Booth at the end of her season, they broke up in 2018. Kaitlyn is now engaged to Jason Tartick, who appeared on Becca Kufrin’s season in 2018. Kaitlyn was the sixth member of Bachelor Nation to compete on Dancing With The Stars. Before Kaitlyn’s season, Trista Sutter, Melissa Rycroft, Chris Soules, Nick Viall, and Hannah Brown, who won season 28, danced on the show. Kaitlyn’s success on the show gained her even more popularity, and in 2021, she was named the co-host of The Bachelorette along with Tayshia Adams.

In a statement shared with Us Weekly, Kaitlyn revealed that she is joining the Dancing With The Stars Live tour. According to the official site of the tour, the show will feature many pro dancers from the show, including Kaitlyn’s former partner, Artem, Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Sasha Farber, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Gleb Savchenko, Emma Slater, Britt Stewart, and more to be announced. Kaitlyn is looking forward to the experience, especially since last season’s tour was cancelled due to the pandemic. She explained, “All of the dancers told me what an incredible experience the tour is. I was so sad that there was no tour last season [due to Covid] so I am very excited that I’ll finally get to perform in front of an audience and connect with the fans.” 

Kaitlyn also explained how the show let her fulfill a lifelong goal of dancing in front of a large audience. She said the show allowed her to “live out my childhood dream by being able to dance on such a big platform and I am beyond grateful for all of it.” She will return to the ballroom in a cameo appearance during Janet Jackson Night on November 8. This has been a busy year for Kaitlyn, between co-hosting The Bachelorette and wedding planning with Jason. Now she has even more to look forward to in 2022.

Kaitlyn’s Dancing With The Stars win has given her the opportunity to dance in front of larger audiences than she ever has before. With her perfect Argentine tango, cha-cha-cha, paso doble, contemporary, and freestyle dances in her repertoire, the possibilities are endless for the tour. The Dancing With The Stars Live tour is lucky to have a star like Kaitlyn to light up the stage.

The Bachelorette airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
