The finale featured performances from Ne-Yo, Pitbull, and Cher as the four couples took to the floor for their final two rounds of the competition.

Under the watchful eye of judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba, the first round kicked off with Hannah Brown and her partner's Viennese waltz to Taylor Swift's "Lover."

To finish off the first round, Kel Mitchell and Witney Carson did the jazz to "We're All in This Together" by the High School Musical cast.

IT'S NOT HANNAH'S ONLY RECENT WIN

On cloud nine after her win, it's not Hannah's only one this month. "The Bachelorette" star attended the 2019 People's Choice Awards earlier this month looking beautiful in a red and walked away with her first-ever PCA win for Competition Contestant.

Elated and surprised by her PCA win, Hanna didn't hesitate to share her feelings during her acceptance speech. "Everyone has supported and loved me through this crazy, amazing year," Hannah said. "Like, how is this happening to me? I was just a girl from Alabama, but thank you for allowing me to be that girl from Alabama and to shine my light."

Besides being the reigning champ of the 28th season of the dancing competition, Hannah Brown will also be remembered for making headlines after she told judge Carrie Ann Inaba not to touch her while they rehearsed for a Rumba do-over.

Hannah struggled to get the Latin hip motion down pat, and when her emotions took over, she rebuffed Carrie Ann's offer of a shoulder to cry on.
