Sheryl Crow, Maren Morris & More Headline DWTS Grammy Night

Dancing With the Stars is turning the ballroom into a full-blown concert stage — and the lineup alone is enough to make any music fan tune in. The show's first-ever Grammy Night arrives Tuesday, Nov. 10, and it's bringing some serious firepower with it.

A Historic First for the Ballroom

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars is breaking new ground with an episode built entirely around Grammy-winning artists and nominated hits. The concept is simple and brilliant: pair the drama of a live dance competition with the electricity of real, in-the-room musical performances. The result is something the show has never attempted before — and the booking team clearly didn't hold back.

Sheryl Crow, Maren Morris, Brandy and Monica are all confirmed to perform live during the episode, each anchoring one of the night's featured dance-offs. For fans of the nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow — who has been having quite the multimedia moment lately, having brought 11 new songs to Disney Jr.'s Cars: Lightning Racers — seeing her take the DWTS stage is a genuinely exciting prospect.

Who's Dancing to What

The pairings and their musical matchups are where things get really interesting. Three of the season's remaining couples will face off in head-to-head dance battles, each set to a track performed live by one of the night's headline acts.

Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov go up against Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach in a rumba set to "The Boy Is Mine" — with Brandy and Monica reprising their iconic '90s duet right there in the room. That alone is must-see television.

Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy face off against Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik in a cha cha to "The Middle," with Maren Morris delivering the performance live. And in the final matchup, Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold take on Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas in another cha cha — this one set to Sheryl Crow's evergreen anthem "All I Wanna Do," performed by Crow herself. Her recent work on the Cars: Lightning Racers theme proved she still brings an effortless coolness to everything she touches, and that energy should translate perfectly to a live ballroom setting.

Meanwhile, Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson have earned immunity and will sit out the competitive dance-offs this week.

How and Where to Watch

Grammy Night airs live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and will simulcast on Disney+. For cord-cutters, there are several solid options. DirecTV offers a five-day free trial that includes both ABC and Disney+, making it one of the easiest ways to catch the episode without committing to a subscription. Fubo also carries ABC with a five-day free trial for new subscribers, with plans starting at $54.99 for the first month. Sling carries ABC in select markets across its Blue, Select, and Orange & Blue plans, starting as low as $19.99 per month. Hulu + Live TV bundles ABC with Disney+ and ESPN+ starting at $89.99 monthly.

Why This Episode Matters

In an era when live music moments feel increasingly rare and precious — just look at how much buzz surrounds any unexpected performance announcement — DWTS Grammy Night is threading a needle that few reality competition shows attempt. It's not a clip reel or a tribute package. These artists are showing up, mic in hand, to sing their hits while professional dancers pour everything they have into the floor.

For Sheryl Crow specifically, it's another reminder of an artist who refuses to slow down. With a catalog that spans decades and a creative output that keeps expanding, her presence on the DWTS stage feels less like a nostalgic booking and more like a statement. Tuesday night, the ballroom belongs to her — at least for one iconic chorus.
