The November 10 episode will feature live performances from Brandy and Monica, Maren Morris and Sheryl Crow.

DWTS Grammy Night 2026: Full Dance-Off Pairings
Each Dance-Off features two couples performing the same dance style simultaneously to the same song. Judges will select three winning couples, each receiving additional points.
| Dance-Off Matchup | Style | Song |
|---|---|---|
| Amber Glenn & Pasha Pashkov vs. Ezra Frech & Daniella Karagach | Rumba | The Boy Is Mine — Brandy & Monica |
| Jenna Dewan & Val Chmerkovskiy vs. Tatyana Ali & Jan Ravnik | Cha-Cha | The Middle — Maren Morris |
| Connor Wood & Rylee Arnold vs. Maura Higgins & Mark Ballas | Cha-Cha | All I Wanna Do — Sheryl Crow |
The rumba will test control and partner connection, while the cha-cha battles emphasize rhythm and footwork. Performing side by side gives judges a direct comparison of each partnership.
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson Receive Immunity
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson will skip the Dance-Off round and receive automatic bonus points following their Disney Night performance.
Harry and Jenna Dewan both earned perfect individual scores of 40/40 last week and finished with 80/80 after team dances. Harry secured immunity through a cumulative season-score tiebreaker, leading 236–235.
Immunity does not guarantee safety from elimination. Harry and Jenna Johnson will still perform their scheduled salsa.
Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated during the previous episode. The November 2 DWTS results provide additional context on the competition’s standings.
