For those who are unfamiliar, DWTS pro Jenna Johnson actually has a niece who is extremely talented in the dance department: Hailey Bills.
With Bills’ dancing videos circulating all over TikTok as of late, fans of the Emmy Award-winning series are starting to think that she might be a part of the troupe for Dancing With the Stars season 34, and needless to say, they are as thrilled as can be.

In 2012, Bills began her dance career at the age of six. With her impressive work ethic and raw talent allowing her to become an expert in ballroom, ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop and tap, she got her biggest break yet at the age of 12, joining the inaugural season of Dancing With the Stars: Juniors as a pro in 2018.
With her aunt as her mentor and Tripp Johnston — Bristol Palin’s son and Sarah Palin’s grandson — as her partner, the pair ultimately finished in 11th/12th place, but it is clear that the experience shaped her dance career for years to come.
Ever since her devastating loss on Dancing With the Stars: Juniors, Bills has continued to dance, sharing videos to her various social media accounts — primarily TikTok — and amassing more than 100k followers on the platform.
With her output of content increasing as of late, fans believe that the Utah native is teasing that she will be a part of Dancing With the Stars season 34. If that wasn’t proof enough, Johnson’s latest TikTok video might have sealed the deal…

Today (August 18), Johnson shared a TikTok video dancing some oh-so elaborate choreo with both her niece and her husband: Val Chmerkovskiy. She captioned the post, “When you’re niece finally decides to move to LA ✨💃🏻💘,” naturally causing an uproar.
With the caption admitting that Bills now lives in Los Angeles — where Dancing With the Stars is filmed — some are convinced that she is already a part of the troupe for season 34, commenting “Hailey has to be on DWTS. It’s not a coincidence I’ve seen her all over my FYP for the last 2 months” and “Hailey on DWTS troupe definitely!!!!!😏😏😏🙏🙏🙏” underneath the post.
Others (myself included) are merely hopeful, trying to refrain from jumping to conclusions too quickly. “Get her on DWTS IMMEDIATELY,” one wrote, while another added, “”Hailey on troupe. I NEED IT BAD 🕯️🕯️” A third exclaimed, “NEED HAILEY ON TROUPE AHHHHH”
Will Bills actually be on the troupe for Dancing With the Stars season 34, though? While there is no way to know for certain, it’s safe to say that we will be keeping up with her on both Instagram and TikTok — @hailey.bills and @haileybills1 — for any further updates.
