Lauren Jauregui’s Unexpected Exit from ‘Dancing With the Stars’
Expressing Disappointment: Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui was notably upset following her early elimination from the latest season of Dancing With the Stars. The event that unfolded on TikTok Night for the singer was far from what she anticipated. After delivering a cha-cha-cha performance to her group’s song “Work From Home,” Jauregui responded with a single word to describe her feelings: “Pissed.” This reaction came despite the presence and support of her former bandmates and the song’s original choreographer.
Performance Highlights
During the Tuesday night show, Jauregui and her dance partner, Brandon Armstrong, brought some of Fifth Harmony’s iconic choreography to the stage. Dressed in a vibrant yellow fringed dress, Jauregui executed her moves with Armstrong, who complimented her outfit with a safety vest. Their performance was energetic, ending with both dancers approaching their supportive audience, which included Jauregui’s former bandmates Normani, Dinah Jane, and Ally Brooke, as well as choreographer Sean Bankhead, all of whom applauded enthusiastically.
Competition and Outcomes
The night was tough, with high scores across the board. Whitney Leavitt from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles both topped the leaderboards, closely followed by Dylan Efron and influencer Alix Earle. Despite Jauregui’s efforts and the crowd’s support, her journey on the dance floor was cut short, leaving her unavailable for the upcoming Disney Night-themed episode.
Previous Performances and Future Prospects
Jauregui had previously shown promise with a smooth tango to Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?” and a foxtrot to “Lovefool” by The Cardigans. Although her time on Dancing With the Stars was brief, Jauregui continues to engage her fans, recently reuniting with Fifth Harmony for a special performance at a Jonas Brothers concert in Dallas.
Dancing With the Stars continues to air on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, capturing the hearts of dance enthusiasts nationwide.
