Hayes Grier’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Blog: Most Memorable Year! (Exclusive)

Social media sensation Hayes Grier joins AccessHollywood.com as our behind-the-scenes celebrity blogger for Season 21 of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

Here is Hayes’ latest post…

This week’s dance was one I will never forget. It was for most memorable year and Emma and I danced to one of my best friends, Shawn Mendes new single “Stitches.” I’ve known Shawn for years and we got to tour the country together. Seeing him grow and getting to see musical journey unfold has been so cool. I called him up and asked his opinion on what song of his we should choose to dance to, and we all agreed “Stitches” was the one to go for. So, we were all really excited.

The dance was one of the most amazing things I have ever done! Emma is truly the best teacher, working with her makes the whole experience so much better because she just knows how to approach every move with me. When we got the judges scores, I was not expecting all nine’s, they were my first nine’s of the season. It felt amazing, but I think my facial expressions said it all! I got so many compilation videos of my reaction to the scores from fans, they were hilarious. I was so proud of our performance and the high scores just gave me more motivation to work harder.
