Get ready to see Alix Earle in the ballroom!
The social media sensation, who rose to fame on TikTok with her popular "get ready with me" videos, is joining the cast of "Dancing with the Stars" for Season 34.
The news about the "Hot Mess" podcast host was announced on "Good Morning America" on May 22.
"I've always been a fan of 'Dancing with the Stars,' I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma and she'd always say, 'Maybe one day you could be on there,'" Earle told "GMA" anchors Lara Spencer and Michael Strahan.

The former competitive dancer said on "GMA" that it was an "easy yes" to join "DWTS."
The University of Miami alum's casting comes after the ABC ballroom dancing competition revealed that Robert Irwin, son of late conservationist Steve Irwin and brother of former "DWTS" fan favorite Bindi Irwin, would also join the show.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star rose to fame on TikTok in the summer of 2022 after giving her followers an inside-look at her breakup from an professional MLB player ex that she called "baseball boy" and her relatable struggles with cystic acne.
Since then, she has amassed 7.5 million followers on TikTok and over 1 billion likes. Recently, fans have also flocked to Earle for tea about her relationship with Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
With Earle's casting on "DWTS," once lagging in the ratings, has seen a Gen Z resurgence in recent years on TikTok with the popularity of its pro dancers Rylee Arnold, Ezra Sosa and Gleb Savchenko on the platform.
But at times, Earle has courted controversy – common for "DWTS" contestant picks. Last August, she apologized for using racial slurs commonly directed at Black people when she was 13-years-old after fans resurfaced her posts.
