Brooklyn and Bailey McKnight are eyeing their next career move.
The YouTuber twins are used to collaborating on content for their popular YouTube and social media pages, so it makes sense that their next step could be television.
Before taking part in the Wicked Night-themed Dancing with the Stars taping on October 21, Bailey revealed on their shared Instagram account that they are “huge fans” of the show and have been watching it “all the time.”

The two attended Tuesday night’s show, wearing complementary colors of pink and green inspired by Glinda and Elphaba, and looked excited as they cheered on the contestants and professionals.
In a video posted the day before, Bailey revealed that she and her sister have dance experience and were on the drill team in high school.
“But the drill team and the ballroom are completely different,” she said. “The drill team is high kicking and pompoming, and the ballroom is very technical.”
She went on to explain that she and her sister have some fun connections to the show, including professional dancers and past contestants.
“The reason I thought it was possible in context is because I have a lot of friends on Dancing with the Stars,” she shared, intending to reveal that husband Asa Howard’s cousin Sadie Robertson and violinist Lindsey Stirling, a good family friend, were on the show.

“We have Utah roots as well, so we pretty much know most of the pros like Lindsey (Arnold) and Whitney (Carson),” she said.
Additionally, Bailey said she and Brooklyn applied to be on the show at least three times.
“The last two times we applied, they said they didn’t want to cast twins because they didn’t want to split the vote,” she explained. “We even tried to convince them to do an iconic duo season.”
“Our response was, ‘Well, pick one,'” she laughed.
“At this point, it’s just been a lifelong dream,” she continued. “I don’t care if it’s Brooklyn or me.”
