Tears and remembrance

In her video clip on Instagram, Kaitlyn cried so hard. She told her fans that she and Bri lost a best friend when they were 18 years old. And the song that she dances to this week was that friend’s favorite. Unfortunately, she died so young. And, the song was played at her funeral. So, whenever the Dancing With the Stars competitor hears the song it moves her to tears.

As they rehearsed all week to the music. Kaitlyn found it so hard as the memories and the sadness came flooding back. Luckily, Bri’s around and they talk about their lost friend all the time. Together, they cry and recall the memory of their lost friend. As she said, “tears are therapy.” It’s not clear which song is the one that played at her friend’s funeral. But, she and Artem dance to two songs this coming week on DWTS.

Kaitlyn and Artem dance two numbers this coming week

Broadway World reported that Kaitlyn and Artem dance a redemption Paso Doble to “Hanuman” by Rodrigo Y Gabriela; then for their new dance, a Contemporary to “Cowboy Take Me Away” by The Chicks. So, probably, in her tearful post, Kaitlyn referred to Cowboy Take Me Away.
