The professional musician Gleb Savchenko expressed his gratitude for his audience and voters right after the live show. The dancer of international fame from Dancing with the Stars graciously accepted the support that his partner and he were getting through the voting process. A momentous yet sincere message garnered thousands of reactions, ranging from outright praise to lonely lamentations regarding some of the celebrity attendees.

Savchenko fired a simple message of thanks: “Thank all of you for coming to the show, supporting us, and to everybody who voted, a huge thank you!” The post portrayed him laughing and smiling after what looked like a victorious performance.
The comment section was anthem by a thunderstorm of endorsements for his craft. One enthusiastic fan exclaimed, “You guys are doing amazing!!!! This is your best partner since Jana & just keep challenging her & you guys will go far! You got my votes.” The statement rallied many with the same excitement regarding the show and its upcoming performances.
Some spotted certain celebrities in the crowd, no matter the dance. “That was so thoughtful of Mrs. Kardashian to show up,” said one, setting forth some interpretive confusion. Another added, “That doesn’t look like Kris,” giving way to a possible mistaken identity from among the celebrity attendees.
One sarcastically disparaged Hilaria Baldwin, the wife of Alec Baldwin: “Of course slumdog millionaire shows up,” whereupon another dissertated extensively: “Being rude to your spouse when you are constantly trying to take over interviews that are only taking place because of his career and fame is NOT feminism, it’s disrespect. Hillary cannot accept that she’s not the main character…ever.”
Amid more critical observations came shows of international glory: A fan from Brazil wrote in Portuguese, “You guys are amazing I’m from Brazil I’m following you,” thus showing the global appeal of Savchenko beyond English-speaking confines.
Such mixed reviews in comment sections illustrated the complex terrain of celebrity culture, wherein the professional and personal public empires often intersect. While thanking everyone for their votes and attendance formed Savchenko’s prime concern, the followers’ discourse drifted toward commentary on the famous faces in the audience and their various public personae.

Being a professional dancer that has made a name for himself on the levels of dance competition and television Balzac-like, Savchenko is deeply attached to show business. The very show, along with the social media rallying that followed, attests to his devoted fan base and the broader spectrum of views in the celebrity domain in which such events exist. The different perspectives—from an outright celebration of Savchenko’s artistry to debates and commentary on celebrity culture—provide a panoramic view into the world of fandom and the various avenues through which people engage with performers today. It appears that this interspersing of Savchenko’s work with discussions of culture is poised to be the very atmosphere down which his career is charted from immediately on. Jenna Johnson and Corey Feldman are also notable figures in this entertainment sphere.
