Now, Kostek is lending her dance experience to NBC’s Dancing With Myself. Getting to work alongside global superstar Shakira was a ”very full-circle moment” for the host, as she revealed on Down in the DMs that she used to tag the singer in posts all the time.
“I mentioned her in some stories,” Kostek shared. “It says, ‘My hair is giving me @shakira vibes today.’ And then, I danced to the song ‘Hips Don’t Lie‘ and wrote, ‘Big Shakira energy with this hair #nevernotdancing.'”
While Shakira never came across her posts, Kostek did successfully chat with another of the show’s celeb judges over DMs.
“Liza [Koshy] and I started messaging each other when the show started before we had each other’s number,” Kostek told E! News. “The way that she DMs is the way that she talks in person, like, caps lock, all the emojis, hearts, hearts.”
