David Craig Mandy Moore on Dancing With The Stars appeared as a guest judge on the show, but some fans are not familiar with the star. However, she’s famous in her own right and has brushed shoulders with plenty of big-time singers before, including Taylor Swift. Mandy choreographed Swift’s entire Eras tour!
During ABC’s episode 9 of Dancing With The Stars latest season, Mandy took a seat on the judging panel. The choreographer, dancer, producer, and instructor’s successful career earned her a well-deserved position to comment on the contestant’s performances. But some fans know little about Mandy Moore.

Mandy Moore on DWTS confuses fans
Many were expecting American singer Mandy Moore to be the guest judge on DWTS. Some viewers still thought that the choreographer was the same person but just now looks different.
Nope – they just have the same name! When Mandy Moore was announced as the episode’s guest judge, confusion set in, and the lady herself often made jokes about the ongoing scenario.
There is a reason the choreographer Mandy Moore’s handle is @NopeNotHer on social media! One fan wrote: “I had to Google her bc there ain’t no way our girl Mandy can act, sing, AND choreograph.”

Mandy choreographed Swift’s tour
Mandy was the lead choreographer on the Eras Tour. After graduating from high school in 1994 to pursue a dance career, she attended the EDGE Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles on a scholarship.
Now an expert at all things Taylor Swift, Mandy has played a huge role in the singer’s career. Swifties remarked on how much the Blank Space singer’s dancing has improved – and it’s thanks to the instructor.
One of Mandy’s most recent projects, following several years of choreographing DWTS’ opening performances, was working on the series, Zoey’s Playlist.
