Product placement

Fireball: ACTS - it is consumed by the performer to calm her nerves before dancing. Removing it would change the narrative of the video. People Magazine: APPEARS - it is the brand of the microphone and the interviewer, acting as a watermark/identifier. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Ciara Miller Took a Shot of Fireball Before Performing on 'DWTS' — & She'll Do So Again Next Week 😂 I'm not going to lie to you. I took a shot of Fireball. Period. I took it two and a half hours before we danced. I don't care if she takes a bucket of Fireball. Whatever gets us calm, cool, collected before we go out there. The amount of pressure, it literally, it like makes... maybe I'm just being dramatic, but it, like, makes your vision go, like... Like tell me I'm wrong. I had glaucoma. I have glaucoma. Oh my God. It's scary. It's scary. So we just wanted to get the first one out of the way. Dancing with the Stars Disney Obviously, thanks everybody for voting because kept us around. And now we just want to get better. We know what we're doing. The first one getting it out the way, now we know what the ballroom feels like. I'm probably still going to take a shot of Fireball next week, but, like, whatever. It is what it is.
