Megan Thee Stallion’s Coachella set was a star-studded affair. She served the crowd Queen Latifah, Victoria Monét, and then brought the house down with Ciara. The “Roc Steady” beat dropped, and out came CiCi, strutting in a race-car style top with bold graphics and denim shorts that showed off those killer legs. The crowd lost it. Russell Wilson’s wife didn’t just show up, she owned the stage, performing her Flo Milli-featuring single “Goodies” alongside Megan like it was 2004 all over again, but harder, sharper, and hotter. The one-and-a-half-minute surprise performance had the crowd screaming, phones flying, and the phrase “real hot girl shit,” as Ciara called it, felt more like a declaration.

Clips of the high-voltage choreography, the hair flips, the body rolls, and the shared grin between two women at the top of their game quickly flooded the internet and have been going viral ever since. But that hot minute didn’t just reignite Ciara’s dominance as a performer, it also sent the rumor mill into a spin. Could Ciara be heading to Dancing With the Stars next?

Adding fuel to the speculation, Dancing With the Stars pro and two-time mirrorball champion Jenna Johnson recently gave Ciara a major shoutout during her appearance on The Morning After podcast. When host Kelly Stafford asked her to name elite entertainers with standout dance chops, Jenna didn’t hesitate. “Let’s not sleep on Ciara,” she said, her voice lighting up. “Oh my goodness. She just did Coachella, and I didn’t go, but I just saw videos — and I’m obsessed with her.”

Johnson didn’t directly confirm any DWTS involvement, but coming from someone who’s waltzed, jived, and quickstepped her way to two victories, the endorsement hit different. If Ciara were to ever join the show, it’s clear she’d already have one professional fan in her corner.

But it’s not just about Coachella. Ciara has been stacking moments like this for years. Before the folding-chair magic in “Ecstasy” had fans practically auditioning in their kitchens, there was “Promise”, where she leaned into a mic stand like gravity didn’t apply; something she also performed with Megan Thee Stallion later and had fans comparing her to Ariel, the mermaid. Or “Goodies”, where she introduced the world to that now-signature backbend in low-rise jeans and a crop top. And then there’s “Ride”, where she didn’t even need to move her feet, just her hips, a fitted cap, and a bull. Every era has had its viral CiCi moments that are made to look too easy. Which is why, when the Dancing With the Stars rumors started swirling, they didn’t feel far-fetched.

But while the internet was busy gushing over her moves, Ciara was busy lighting up London.

From Coachella to London: Ciara’s on a roll

On June 1, 2025, Ciara took to Instagram to share a stunning photo and a heartfelt caption that gave fans a glimpse into her exciting plans in London. Posing alongside her team, she wrote, “Came back to London after a decade and headlined the Mighty Hoopla festival! What an amazing feeling it was to hear 20k+ of you singing my songs with me. I will never forget this moment.” The post quickly gained traction, with fans and celebrities alike celebrating the milestone.

During the live concert, Ciara hit the stage with her signature energy, owned every moment, and once again reminded the world of exactly what she’s worth—pure star power, talent, and charisma that never fades.

And just after her electrifying live event, on June 2, Ciara experienced yet another unforgettable moment—this time off the stage. While traveling through the city, an excited crowd of fans who had spotted her on the road quickly encircled her. This move only added to her charm and connection with her audience. Ciara stopped the car, climbed onto the roof, and greeted everyone with a huge smile, making the spontaneous moment even more memorable and heartwarming.

While in London, Ciara wowed fans with a gold matching set featuring a silk bomber-style vest and miniskirt, proving once again she’s a fashion force. The “Level Up” singer had people talking, reigniting buzz around her name nearly 10 years after her 2015 visit. With all the surprises she’s dropped lately, who knows what Ciara has up her sleeve next?
