“Taylor Swift is pigeon-toed,” Abby said, adding, “And her boyfriend is a much better dancer. Let’s leave it at that.”
In fact, Abby said that Travis was “great” and described him as “a natural.”
She continued, saying that it was “too late” for Taylor to improve her skills, not that she thought there were concerns. “I don’t think she’s worried about it.
The 58-year-old Dance Moms star and dance teacher was critical of the 34-year-old “Wildest Dream” pop star’s abilities during a recent episode of her Leave It On the Dance Floor podcast.
She even compared Taylor‘s abilities to her boyfriend Travis Kelce‘s, and her opinion left some Swifties up in arms.

Dance choreographer and instructor Abby Lee Miller, best known for appearing on the reality show Dance Moms, has shared her thoughts on Taylor Swift‘s dance moves. On a recent episode of her podcast, Leave It On The Dance Floor, Miller spoke with model and third wife of the late Hugh Hefner, Crystal Hefner, where the topic of Swift’s dance skills came up. “Taylor Swift is pigeon-toed. And her boyfriend is a much better dancer, let’s leave it at that,” Miller said, referencing Swift’s new beau Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end known for his touchdown dances. “He’s a great dancer,” Miller continued. “I think he’s a natural. Most football players like to show off. He’s a showman with swagger at heart.” @aldctherealabbylee Everyone can benefit from a class with me I’ve seen clips of @Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, @Travis Kelce...

Once upon a time, Dance Moms was one of the biggest hits on cable TV.
Now, Lifetime is attempting to capitalize on its success with a reunion special set to air in 2014.
Airing from 2011-2019, the hit series focused on Abby Lee Miller as she ran her Abby Lee Dance Company.
That entailed her coaching a team as they learned their dances and competed in tournaments.
The series' success probably stemmed from the drama between Miller and the contestants' parents.
If you watch Dance Moms online, you know what we mean: Abby had countless spats with the parents throughout the show's eight-season run.
Much of the arguments ranged from Abby's treatment of the children to parents being displeased about creative choices from Abby.
It was a lot, and now, it's time for some of the show's most famous faces to return and unpack all of that drama.

Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller sent social media into a frenzy after revealing she is attracted to high school football players in a now-viral podcast clip.
The dance studio owner, known for instructing JoJo Siwa and Maddie Ziegler, joined Sofia Franklyn on her podcast, Sofia with an F, where she began discussing the 1984 film All the Right Moves. “Have you seen All the Right Moves? That’s the best movie ever,” said Miler. “You know, high school football player— that’s my downfall, I like the high school football players. I still like them,” highlighting her infatuation with high school athletes.
Franklyn sheepishly laughed at Miller’s comment, adding that her preference would be the coach rather than the student players, to which Miller clarified that she prefers current high school athletes.
“Not one that used to be in high school, but one that is. Yes,” Miller emphasized.

The former ‘Dance Moms’ stars is addressing her controversial comments in an Instagram video posted on Monday.
Abby Lee Miller is walking back some controversial comments she recently made in which she seemingly stated that she is attracted to high school football players.
Miller’s original comments came towards the end of an appearance on Sofia Franklyn’s “Sofia with an F” podcast, in which Miller, 57, brought up the 1983 sports drama “All the Right Moves”, in which Tom Cruise — who was 21 at the time of release — played a high school senior and star player on the school’s football team.
“Oh, that’s my downfall. I like the high school football players,” Miller said at the time, adding, “I still like them.”

Omarosa's early exit from the tournament wasn't the only upset in the Round of 16, which also saw Juan Pablo Galavis, the most hated man in The Bachelor history, fall to The Real Housewives of New York alum Ramona Singer, and embattled Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller bow down to Survivor finalist Russell Hantz and his fedora.

Any fan of Dance Moms will recall that Maddie Ziegler was undoubtedly one of Abby Lee Miller’s favorite students. From the very first episode of the series, the choreographer championed her dancer, often putting her up on a pedestal to bring her other students down. Even after Ziegler exited the show in season 6, Miller still continued to talk about her. But talking to Ziegler would prove to be impossible since the dancer cut off communication with Miller after quitting the reality TV show.

Even though Ziegler was Miller’s star student, she couldn’t escape the toxicity of Dance Moms. Miller’s preferential treatment of the Bloody Hell star often made Ziegler the target of vitriol. Furthermore, the Aldc owner put a staggering amount of pressure on Ziegler to always win first place.

In an episode called “Melissa’s Announcement,” Gisoni broke the news to the team. As Maddie and Kenzie were members of the original Junior Elite Competition Team and a part of the reality TV show from the first episode, the trio’s farewell was an emotional one. However, the Zieglers actually tried to quit in season 3, years before they finally exited the show.

With eight seasons and 224 episodes, there is no shortage of content for Dance Moms fans to enjoy. Though the show officially ended years ago, it still has a pretty impressive viewership. Lifetime (the network that the show is home to) often airs reruns of the dance competition show. Furthermore, since most seasons of the show are currently streaming on Hulu, Dance Moms is frequently finding new audiences. However, even diehard fans may have trouble tracking down one specific episode. Season 2, Episode 9 is nearly impossible for fans to watch legally.

It’s been nearly four years since Dance Moms officially ended. Lifetime officially canceled plans for season 9 in 2020, when Abby Lee Miller was accused of racism. However, that hasn’t stopped Miller from teasing that the show could possibly find a home on a new network. Of course, we’d argue that Miller doesn’t have the clout to make that call, as Lifetime likely owns all the rights to the show. But just what is Miller up to in 2023, besides making claims about her return to reality TV?

Though she’d appeared in a few episodes of season 5, viewers really took note of the talented dancer in the following season. A large part of that was due to the way she was introduced. Abby Lee Miller brought Rumfallo in as the replacement for her favorite student, Maddie Ziegler, and chaos immediately ensued.

Maddie Ziegler and Eddie Benjamin have called it quits. The “Dance Moms” alum and her musician beau amicably broke up after more than three years together, a source close to the pair tells People. Et has reached out to reps for Ziegler and Benjamin for comment.
Ziegler, 20, and Benjamin, 21, began dating in 2019, though they didn’t publicly reveal their romance until the next year. The low-key couple waited until August 2022 to make their red carpet debut.
When Et spoke with Ziegler in January 2022, she gushed about her then-beau, calling their relationship “the best-case scenario.”
“I feel very excited every day that I get to date him,” Ziegler told Et at the time. “We have such a good time together and we were best friends for a really long time before we dated. It’s like I’m just hanging out with my best friend every day. It’s really fun.
