As a fan of Spears’ music, Savchenko believes “everything’s happening” for the singer, who recently got engaged to Sam Asghari. “I’m so happy,” Savchenko added. He will perform a tango with his Spice Girls partner Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm to Spears’ song “Toxic.” 

“It’s like the best song ever, especially for tango,” he teases. “It’s going to be really cool. The costumes and the whole concept, the number, it’s really dope. We’ll definitely do some ‘Toxic’ sexy moves.” Here’s what the other season 30 celebrities are dancing to during Britney Spears Week on Dancing with the Stars, according to ABC:

Britney Spears conservatorship updates 

Spears has been under conservatorship since 2008. Her father, Jamie Spears, served as the head of her conservatorship until recently. He was suspended on Sept. 30, 2021.

In a statement, Jamie’s representation says “the court was wrong to suspend Mr. Spears, put a stranger in his place to manage Britney’s estate, and extend the very conservatorship that Britney begged the court to terminate earlier this summer.” Jamie plans to use this suspension to work on his relationship with his daughter. 

Meanwhile, Spears celebrated her freedom on Instagram. “On cloud 9 right now!” she wrote in the caption, which many fans attributed to the court’s ruling. 

Since Judge Brenda J. Penny’s suspension of Jamie as conservator, many fans are hopeful the judge will terminate the conservatorship at a Nov. 12 hearing. In the meantime, a certified public accountant has assumed the role of a temporary conservator for Spears. 

Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays at 8 PM EST on ABC.
