Dancing with the Stars Grammy Night lands on Tuesday, Nov. 10, with seven remaining couples in the ballroom and Dance-Offs attached to the scoring. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson have a lighter path than the rest: they will not enter the bonus round after earning immunity last week.
Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated during Week 8 Disney Night, which leaves the season with fewer names and a sharper cutoff before Season 35 Finale Night on Nov. 24. That makes the bonus points from Dance-Offs more than a sideshow; they can move the leaderboard before the finale field tightens again.
Grammy Night songs on Week 9
Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas will dance an Argentine Tango to Thong Song by Sisqó, which was nominated for Best R&B Song at the 2001 Grammy Awards. Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy will follow with a Jazz routine to All For You by Janet Jackson, a track that won Best Dance Recording at the 2002 Grammy Awards.
Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov will perform a Paso Doble to Bring Me to Life by Evanescence, which won Best Hard Rock Performance at the 2004 Grammy Awards. Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik will dance a Tango to Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas, a song that was nominated for Best Dance Recording and won Best Short Form Music Video at the 2010 Grammy Awards.
From Beyoncé to Bruno Mars
Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach will dance an Argentine Tango to Crazy in Love (Remix) by Beyoncé, which was nominated for Record of the Year and won Best R&B Song at the 2004 Grammy Awards. Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold will dance an Argentine Tango to SexyBack by Justin Timberlake featuring Timbaland, and that song won Best Dance Recording at the 2007 Grammy Awards.
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson will close the listed lineup with a Salsa to Die with A Smile by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. The song was nominated for Song of the Year and won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, but the immunity they earned last week keeps them out of the Dance-Offs.
Brandy, Monica and bonus points
Brandy and Monica will perform during the Week 9 Dance-Offs, along with Maren Morris and Sheryl Crow. The source does not list the matchups, so the real competitive edge is the mechanism: the winners pick up bonus points added to their score, which can matter more now that only seven stars remain.
With the field trimmed after Week 8 and the finale set for Nov. 24, the cleanest read is simple: the dancers still in the running need to protect every point, because Grammy Night is not just a theme episode, it is a scoring week that can shift the order before finale night arrives.
