Zendaya Doesn’t Watch ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Anymore After Competing On The Show As A Teen

Let’s talk about Zendaya and her tango with Dancing With the Stars โ€” the show where celebrities cha-cha for survival while being judged by a panel of serious people with a passion for sequins and spray tans.

Back in 2013, Zendaya, now the effortlessly cool star of Euphoria, was just a young teen. Yep, before she was Rue, she was out there samba-ing her heart out, competing for the coveted mirrorball trophy. She crushed it all the way to the finals and ended up with a very respectable second place, narrowly losing to country star Kellie Pickler, who probably two-stepped her way to victory in a pair of bedazzled boots.

Now, in a recent interview, Zendaya spilled the tea about her relationship with the show. And let’s just say itโ€™sโ€ฆ well, non-existent.

โ€œI havenโ€™t watched Dancing With the Stars since I was on Dancing With the Stars,โ€ Zendaya confessed, chuckling like she had just remembered the time she tried to do a Viennese waltz and almost waltzed into a different dimension. She dropped this bombshell on The Awardist podcast, hosted by EW, and it was clear from her tone: No, she’s not glued to the showโ€™s new seasons with a bag of popcorn.

She added, โ€œTo be honest, I didnโ€™t really watch Dancing With the Stars before I was on Dancing With the Stars.โ€ Ouch. But also, fair. Zendaya then pointed out the obvious โ€” teenage her wasnโ€™t exactly the target audience for a show thatโ€™s like the Olympics of ballroom dancing. โ€œMy grandma loves Dancing With the Stars, thatโ€™s her bag,โ€ Zendaya joked. Imagine Grandma Zendaya out there doing the foxtrot in the living room, judging the contestants while sipping tea like itโ€™s serious business.

But letโ€™s not forget, our girl Z was out there twirling under disco balls for weeks on end, and thatโ€™s no small feat. She admits, โ€œIt was a very stressful experience. I was like, I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m gonna be watching this anymore.โ€ Translation: I lived it. I survived it. And now, Iโ€™m leaving it in the past where it belongs, along with the glitter and that one judge who claps a little too enthusiastically.

So, if you were wondering if Zendayaโ€™s been waiting with bated breath for Tyra Banksโ€™ outfits or the latest celebs trying to rhumba without face-planting, the answer is a resounding “nope.” Sheโ€™s busy being Zendaya, thank you very much.
