After over two months of intense competition, DWTS season 32 has finally ended. The DWTS season 32 finale took place on Tuesday and saw Gomez and her dance partner, Chmerkovskiy take home the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Undoubtedly, winning the show was an emotional experience for the Marvel actress. She exclaimed, “Oh my God, there’s so much confetti” as she cried tears of joy. Gomez defeated singer Jason Marz, who finished in second place. In third and fourth place were Vanderpump Rules‘ Ariana Madix and Bachelorette star Charity Lawson.
Ultimately, it was a wild night! The energy in the room was high from when co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro kicked off the show with a warm welcome to when Gomez and Chmerkovskiy emerged as winners.
