Witney Carson could not hold back her tears after she and celebrity partner Robert Irwin were crowned winners of Dancing With the Stars Season 34.
The pair entered the finale night as fan favorites and left the ballroom with the Mirrorball Trophy, marking a major milestone for Irwin as he followed in the footsteps of his sister Bindi, who won exactly ten years earlier.
Irwin and Carson closed their season with three high-energy routines that proved why they were one of the most consistent partnerships of the year. Their Judges’ Choice quickstep to Jet’s “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” showed speed and teamwork, earning a 29 out of 30 despite one noted technicality. Irwin stayed sharp through the footwork while Carson brought power and precision with every turn.

Their instant dance, a cha cha to DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean,” pushed them even higher as they earned their first perfect 30 of the night. Even though the routine was picked on the spot, the pair kept a strong rhythm and delivered the upbeat performance fans expected from them.
The freestyle routine, set to “Black & Gold” by Sam Sparro and “The Nights” by Avicii, became the dance that sealed their championship run. Their mix of smooth moves, bold lifts and explosive tricks had the crowd cheering loudly. The judges awarded another perfect 30, giving them a strong finish heading into the final vote.
The pro dancer shared a short message on Instagram soon after the finale, saying she felt “OVERWHELMED with all the supportive comments and love,” adding that fans were “angels on earth for being there for me.”

What made the win even more emotional for Carson was the journey behind the scenes. Just hours before the finale, she revealed that Irwin had been battling painful rib issues during the final days of practice. A lift in their freestyle had hurt him so badly that Carson removed it completely.
“Obviously, his health is my No. 1 priority,” Carson said in an earlier interview. She added that she now feels a sense of protectiveness over Irwin, who continued to rehearse even in pain.
Irwin later admitted that pushing through the injury was tough, but it added meaning to the last night of the competition. “It’s painful, but no pain, no gain,” he said. “We just knew we had to make it work because it was our way to say thank you to everyone who’s been on this journey.”
Before the winners were announced, Irwin and Carson shared a quiet pep talk. “We just said, ‘It doesn’t matter what happens now,’” Irwin told People. “We know what we put in, and we know what this represents.”
For Irwin, the win meant everything, especially since it came exactly a decade after Bindi’s victory. He said watching his sister lift the Mirrorball years ago showed him the heart of their family’s mission and work. Winning with Carson, he said, changed his life completely.
Carson also praised Irwin deeply after their win, saying she couldn’t think of “anyone more deserving.”
Witney Carson’s Tearful Celebration
After the confetti settled, support poured in from fans and Irwin’s family. His mother Terri Irwin shared her pride on social media, saying Carson was now “part of our family.”
After months of hard training, last-minute routine changes and Irwin’s painful injury, the win left her in tears; tears of joy, relief and gratitude. Their season showed teamwork at its strongest, and their win marked a story fans will remember long after the ballroom lights dim.
