Whitney Carson, a pro dancer on Dancing with the Stars, hit a major milestone ahead of the weekend. The news arrived via social media, alongside her partner from Season 34, Robert Irwin. Read on for all the details.
The Milestone Celebration
Whitney took to her Instagram and shared a reel with Robert Irwin. In it, she let her fans know that she finally hit two million followers. That’s massive, and Robert looked genuinely happy for her. Actually, not to detract from Whitney’s achievement, but Robert, being massively popular himself, probably helped her gain a few new followers.
In her caption, set to the music of “Maybe Tomorrow,” Witney Carson said, “2 Million friends!!!! I love you guys sm.”
In the comments, other DWTS colleagues turned up to have their say. Emma Slater wrote, “YAY!!!!” and added a red heart emoji.
Fans Send In Their Congrats
Many people simply posted their congratulations with celebratory gifs. However, a lot of them also wrote messages to the DWTS pro-dancer. One of them said, “I’m proud to say I been following you since before you were married. Love watching you grow and shine.”
Here are a few more responses from the discussion area:

Witney’s Rise In Popularity
Witney Carson started dancing at just three years old, learning everything from ballet to ballroom. However, her big break only came in 2012 when she placed in the Top 6 on So You Think You Can Dance.
Next, she joined Dancing with the Stars, first in the troupe before becoming a pro. Witney made history by winning the Mirrorball Trophy with partner Alfonso Ribeiro in her second season. Of course, he went on to become the host of the ABC talent show. Meanwhile, Witney’s work on the show even earned her an Emmy nomination for choreography.
Right now, she and her partner, Robert, are firm favorites to take home the Mirrorball trophy again. It seems fitting that she should hit her major milestone this season as her popularity rockets.
