Johnson explained how, after they won season 33, they still had the tour together, “so it didn’t feel like the end of our journey just yet.” She called the experience “a dream come true,” as they performed for and met the fans who supported them.

The dance pro wrote, “Joey. I’m not sure why we were partnered together (thank you @deena_katz !!!!) but it’s felt like meeting someone I’ve known my whole life. Getting to be your coach, dance partner, and friend has truly changed my life.”

She added, “This in the end of an incredible chapter in our lives but definitely not the end of our friendship! And don’t forget that I will still be in coach mode when Val and I choreograph yours & @kelseyanderson first dance 🤗 This may be our last dance but the memories we’ve shared will last a lifetime!”

Johnson shared her gratitude for being part of the tour along with the talented cast. “You all are rockstars!! 88 shows in 4 months is insane,” she wrote. “It’s always a privilege to share the stage with you! My heart is full and my tears are flowing while writing this in my hotel room lol. Forever grateful 🫶🏼.”
