Gomez defeated singer Jason Marz, who finished in second place. In third and fourth place were Vanderpump Rules‘ Ariana Madix and Bachelorette star Charity Lawson.
Ultimately, it was a wild night! The energy in the room was high from when co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro kicked off the show with a warm welcome to when Gomez and Chmerkovskiy emerged as winners.
