Over the past few months, fans of the show have been anxiously awaiting season 28 news, with many taking to Twitter to share their recommendations for who they'd love to see in the ballroom. Some suggested Alex Morgan, who helped the U.S. women's national soccer team nail a World Cup win earlier this month, while others mentioned Dina Lohan after watching her on Celebrity Big Brother, or "literally anyone from Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC." Those who couldn't get enough of this season of The Bachelorette also had their fingers crossed for Hannah Brown, and seeing as she just relocated to Los Angeles, it was a pretty on-point guess.
Ahead of the big reveal, ET actually asked Brown if she'd ever be down to compete on the show. "I mean, I don't know," she said at the time. "But I can move to a rhythm!"
For the first time ever, viewers will have to tune in to the season premiere to find out who these celebrities will be paired up with on the ballroom floor. Dancing With the Stars returns Monday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Hear more in the video below.
