It's was a tough night emotionally for Lauren Alaina on Dancing With The Stars last night (10/7) as she dedicated her dance to her cousin, Holly, who was in the hospital and in a coma.
After the performance, Lauren told the show's Erin Andrews, “I had a crazy, crazy week. My cousin Holly had a brain bleed and she slipped into a coma earlier this week. I went home and we missed a few days of rehearsals. And I was really stressed and my family told me to come here and I want to dedicate the dance to you, Holly. We’re praying for you. We’re believing in a full recovery. We love you. And I got to do it to Dolly!"
Alaina and her dance partner danced the foxtrot to Dolly Parton's "Jolene."
Dancing With the Stars airs each Monday at 8PM ET on ABC.
