TikTok star and model Alix Earle is now switching her attention to ballroom dancing. The Instagram personality will be competing for the mirrorball trophy on Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars, along with celebrity contestants and professional dancers. Good Morning America recently got the opportunity to hear it firsthand; Earle said she is ready to step outside her comfort zone.
Because of her strong stage presence and large social media fanbase, Earle’s part in the show marks an important moment for it as it keeps looking to older but still relevant stars. She is joining a wider group of social media personalities moving into traditional entertainment roles.
From Rising TikTok Stars to Headliners on Major TV Shows
Alix Earle gained popularity online with her TikTok videos, which show makeup tutorials and honest looks at her everyday life. Thanks to millions of followers on several social media platforms, Earle has made her brand about being relatable and glamorous, soon becoming a favorite among Gen Z fans.
Landing in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is another thing that helped solidify her place in popular culture. With Dancing with the Stars, Earle is ready to step onto the major TV scene, which could be a big change for her career.
“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun for me,” Earle told GMA with a smile. “I started watching the show a long time ago.” Earle was actually at the taping of the 500th episode in the past, and her excitement for the show was easy to see.

It’s Time for a New Phase in DWTS
The thirty-fourth season of Dancing with the Stars looks set to be filled with famous faces from different generations. Robert Irwin — conservationist and television personality — is joined by Earle as the first of the confirmed celebrity contestants this season. The format of the competition will not be changing, with celebrity-pro duos vying for the mirrorball trophy against each other.
The new season hasn’t been given a date yet, though fans are expecting it to come out this fall on ABC and Disney+ and will be streamed the next day on Hulu. For years, the competition delivers exciting stage looks, personal emotion,s and unexpected rising stars.
Young viewers recognize Earle from TikTok, so her presence adds a new kind of excitement to the show. With her appearance on network TV, Hazel might draw in young fans and bring together both old and new ‘Friends’ followers.
Can Alix Reach the Finals by Dancing?
We’ll see how Earle does as a dancer, but since she used to be a cheerleader, it could help her. Although dancing for a live studio group is very different than posting in her bedroom, the charm of her videos should welcome her among the judges and fans.
With anticipation for the season, watching Earle’s journey this year will be exciting. Even if she doesn’t win, just being on the show is a major next step for her career, helping her become a star on primetime TV.
