The influencer has always been a fan of 'DWTS.'
During her appearance on GMA, Earle opened up about how she's been watching DWTS since she was a child.

"I was so in love with dance and when this opportunity came to me it was like, 'what can I do next? Where can I take this?'" she explained. "I’m ready to challenge myself. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. It was an easy yes."

As for who she wants to be partnered with, the social media star didn't mention any specific names.
"I would be grateful to be with anyone. I think they're all so talented. Just looking for a partner that’s going to be a good time, a good friend and really push me to be my best," Earle stated.
