Twin YouTubers Pursue 'Dancing with the Stars' Comeback
22 Oct
Summary
- Brooklyn and Bailey McKnight have applied for 'Dancing with the Stars' multiple times
- They have connections to past 'DWTS' contestants and pros
- The show has rejected them due to concerns about splitting the votes
On October 21, 2025, twin YouTubers Brooklyn and Bailey McKnight attended the 'Dancing with the Stars' taping, which had a Wicked Night theme. The sisters, who are "huge fans" of the show, have been trying to land a spot on the competition for years.
According to Bailey, she and Brooklyn have applied to be on 'DWTS' at least three times, but the show's producers have repeatedly rejected them, citing concerns about splitting the votes between the twins. The sisters have even tried to convince the producers to do an "iconic duos season" to accommodate them, but their efforts have been unsuccessful so far.
Despite the setbacks, the McKnights remain determined to make their 'DWTS' debut. They have prior dance experience from participating in their high school's drill team, and they have several connections to the show, including pro dancers and past competitors. Bailey's husband's cousin, Sadie Robertson, and violinist Lindsey Stirling, a family friend, have both performed on 'DWTS' in the past.
The twins are hopeful that their persistence and connections will eventually pay off, and they are eager to fulfill their "lifelong dream" of competing on the popular dance competition show.
