Kaitlyn Bristowe Shines During 'Dancing with the Stars' Debut

Kaitlyn Bristowe’s journey on the dance floor has officially begun!

Kaitlyn made her "Dancing with the Stars" debut Monday night alongside her professional partner Artem Chigvintsev. Kaitlyn donned a short neon-yellow dress with tassels and wore her hair in a wavy half-ponytail. Artem had on a black shirt and pants, as well as a matching neon-yellow jacket. The pair danced the cha-cha to Lady Gaga’s hit song "Stupid Love."

The Season 11 Bachelorette was all smiles the moment she took the dance floor. She exuded confidence and looked like she was having the time of her life onstage.

The panel of celebrity judges noticed that, too. Derek Hough, the former "Dancing with the Stars" dancer-turned-judge, told Kaitlyn and Artem it was a "great first dance."

She and Artem scored a 20 out of a potential 30 points, making it one of the highest scores of the night.

Even Lady Gaga reacted to their performance! The singer tweeted a video of it and wrote, "Is it weird that this made me cry...I love watching people happy and dancing!"

Kaitlyn's boyfriend Jason Tartick was supportive as ever on her big night. He posted a video of himself chugging her Spade & Sparrows wine as well as Kaitlyn's reaction to seeing herself on TV.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Keep it up the great work, KB!
