“Dancing with the Stars” alum Witney Carson proved her incredible athleticism when she attempted the viral fitness challenge inspired by Nicki Minaj. For many people, Carson’s attempt is the best result ever!
Witney Carson Wows With Her Take on a Viral Trend
The challenge sees women balancing on one foot while wearing stilettos. Many participants in this viral trend have posed in exotic locations or stood on objects. It’s an incredibly impressive move and a brilliant show of balance and strength. For Carson’s video, which she shared on Instagram on August 1, she chose to take it to a whole new level: by balancing on her Mirrorball Trophy.
In the clip, she looks stunning as she wears all black. She even wears a dark pair of sunglasses and footwear, creating a sleek and streamlined finish. “Let’s not forget #dwts #mirrorball #nickiminaj #trending #balancechallenge,” she wrote in the caption. Carson is referencing her big win on the ABC dance competition, which happened on Season 19. She competed alongside “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” actor and DWTS co-host, Alfonso Ribeiro.
Carson played the track “High School” by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne, which inspired the trend, People reports. The music video from 2013 sees Minaj doing the impressive pose next to a pool.
Witney Carson’s DWTS Family Reacts to Her Video
The comment section on Carson’s video has been filled with messages from fans, and her DWTS family has also been eager to share their thoughts.
“Lol how you’d even get up there?! Mine would be RIP for sure!” Emma Slater reacted.
Carrie Ann Inaba commented with a simple message, writing, “winner.”
Gleb Savchenko was impressed and commented with a “wow” and a fire emoji. Sasha Farber also reacted to the video with a clapping hands emoji.
Jenna Johnson had no words, but she did have three emojis: a skull, a disco ball (to represent the mirrorball trophy), and a fire emoji.
Tay Lautner (who is married to “Twilight” star Taylor Lautner) commented with “YEEEEEESSSSSSS.” There has been a lot of chatter about one of the Taylors joining “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34, and they have teased it with funny skits shared on Instagram, but, as of yet, no announcement has been made.
Carson is not the only DWTS pro to try out the viral challenge, and on July 23, Britt Stewart showed off her skills with a video posted on Instagram. She looks stunning in all black, paired with black sunglasses, as she balances on top of cooking pots.
