Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy posted the entire thing on Instagram with the caption, “Corey + Jenna have entered the tik tok chat 🤭 #dwts”. Corey and Jenna perfectly lip-synced the audio track while Jenna was smiling and acting along to this “best friends” vibe. The video cuts away to Jenna chuckling with Corey as she says, “Oh my god, today was so much fun!” Here she jokes with Corey about how some people might look at their over-the-top partnership.
The post drew a lot of attention from fans and performers alike. “I love this so muchhhhh,” remarked one user, catching the frenzy behind the new pair. Others commented on the lip-syncing: “I must say the lip syncing here is phenomenal,” following up with another, “And this is why he’s an actor 😂 10/10,” referring to Corey’s background in television.
A few comments even pointed out the very obvious chemistry between the two. One fan commented, “I feel like you are the PERFECT partner for him,” while another chimed in with a simple, “The duo we didn’t know we needed 🥹.” That positivity shows that people are keen to see that off-stage friendship translated into something on the ballroom floor.
There was some speculation about Corey’s fate on the show in the comments: “I’m glad to see all the articles are wrong about that he hasn’t been around! I’m voting for him every week!!” showing full support for the actor despite any previous rumors. Another read, “Curious to watch them dance.”
The TikTok also provided real clues that this was from a well-known audio track by Kat Stickler, with one eagle-eyed fan commenting, “Kat Stickler! I recognize that voice anywhere.” Keeping things current with what’s going on with socials keeps them in touch with the trends, and that bridge is built with the younger generation.
Jenna’s mentorship and linking role itself received some attention within the ranks. “Oh i hope you guys have so much fun together! There’s nothing better than watching Corey being naturally comfortable in himself,” wrote one; another added, “Love you Corey, can’t wait to see you dance. Have fun. You have the best pro!!”
Judging by the response, this seems to be one of the funniest pairs of the season. Because they are mutually comfortable and all about having fun through the show, Jenna and Corey are seemingly gonna become a pair of fan-favorites in the coming months. They were so hyped way before even putting one foot on the ballroom floor; this is a testament to their obvious connection and the eagerly awaiting audience.
