“I need to dance with her on the show, she’s iconic,” he added of the YouTube personality. “She has manifested this, and I just want it to happen for her. I also want to be her partner, I want to be there with her when it happens.”

“Tysm @dwtstourofficial for having me and @ezra.sosa for being my collaborative manifester,” she captioned a few photos. “If this is the closest I get to being in the actual show, I’m the happiest dancing clam. Also this whole live show gave me chills. So inspired.”

And she even had the backing of Season 34 semifinalist Whitney Leavitt who commented “MAKE IT OFFICIAL @dancingwiththestars !!!!!! We want @trishapaytas” on her photos.

Paytas has also been putting the idea of partnered with Sosa into the universe since 2024 when she shared her 2025 dream board on TikTok.
