The ballroom is preparing for a tribute to the “Queen of Christmas” and pop icon Mariah Carey. “Dancing With The Stars” has officially released the full song and dance list for “Mariah Carey Night,” scheduled to air on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
The episode will be simulcast live on ABC and Disney+ from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. EDT/PDT. Following the elimination of Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart during “Yacht Rock Night” on September 29, only 12 couples remain in the competition for Season 35.
Song and Dance Assignments
The remaining contestants will tackle a variety of ballroom and Latin styles set to some of Carey’s most recognizable hits. Official Disney Entertainment Television press materials have confirmed the final lineup for the evening.
Key performances for the night include:

- Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson: Tango to “It’s Like That”
- Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa: Viennese Waltz to “Vision of Love”

The night will also feature a special professional troupe performance choreographed to “Heartbreaker” featuring JAY-Z.
Competition Outlook
As the show enters its fourth week, the leaderboard continues to be dominated by Harry Shum Jr. and Amber Glenn. The pressure to perform is high, as the “Mariah Carey Night” scores and viewer votes will determine who moves on to Week 5, which the network has already teased as “Super Bowl Night.”
Viewers can participate in the live voting process during the simulcast to support their favorite couples. According to Us Weekly, the competition is expected to intensify as the field narrows toward the mid-season mark. Following this week’s tribute, the remaining celebrities will pivot to a sports-themed roadmap for the upcoming “Super Bowl Night” festivities.
