It was all about the most viral hits during Week 2 of โ€œDancing With the Stars.โ€

After last weekโ€™s premiere and double elimination, hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough welcomed fans back to the ballroom for another week of literal twists and turns.

During the Sept. 22 episode, the remaining 14 couples hit the dance floor with routines that were inspired by viral hits and social media moments that have made headlines.

First up was Jenna Dewan, who delivered a โ€œfast, fierce and fantasticโ€ routine, according to Derek Hough. Tyler Cameron took of his shirt and showed off his abs, while Julia Stiles worked on her confidence.
