Billboard reported that Taylor Hanson, co‑founder of Hanson, and his professional partner Britt Stewart were eliminated from the 35th season of Dancing With the Stars on September 29, 2026. The pair performed a foxtrot to the Doobie Brothers’ “What A Fool Believes” during the show’s inaugural “Yacht Rock Night,” but received a score of 18 out of 30, placing them at the bottom of the leaderboard.
According to the article, Hanson’s performance was described as “more wooden” compared with earlier dances, and the judges’ scores combined with audience votes led to their exit. The elimination follows a night where other contestants such as Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov earned 24/30, as detailed in Felo’s coverage of the same episode.
Britt Stewart told The Hollywood Reporter that Hanson was fully committed to the competition, recalling his willingness to rehearse extensively. Stewart said, “Meeting Taylor was amazing… He’s in it to win it. That commitment is so important.”
