As for the A-list contestants this season, Tyra especially is proud of JoJo. “I am a huge fan of what JoJo Siwa is doing in being the first person to dance with the same sex,” the host added. “I think it is needed, I think it is now. It is where the world is, and she is opening up the doors for so many people to go through those and feel safe and accepted for who they are.”

Dancing With the Stars returns tonight, Sept. 20 on ABC.
