Watch: Charli D'Amelio & Mark Ballas REACT to Their DWTS Win

The D'Amelios can use the Mirrorball trophy as a Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Charli D'Amelio and partner Mark Ballas took home the season 31 Dancing With the Stars title on a very emotional night inside the ballroom Nov. 21, as some DWTS veterans also took their final bows.

The 18-year-old TikTok sensation started with a jive routine set to Little Mix's "Grown," which judge Bruno Tonioli called "as good as I've ever seen" and earned a perfect score.

She and Mark followed it up with a freestyle routine that incorporated various styles and musical genres inspired by Mark's renewed of love dance. In addition to making judge Derek Hough emotional, it earned yet another perfect score. 

Charli and Mark tied at the top of leaderboard with The Bachelorette star Gabby Windey and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, who also earned two perfect scores for their routines.

However, when the judges' scores were combined with the fan vote, it was Charli and Mark who emerged victorious. It makes Mark a three-time Mirrorball trophy champion, following wins in season six with partner Kristi Yamaguchi and season eight with partner Shawn Johnson.

Wayne Brady and his partner Witney Carson and Drag Race star Shangela and her partener Gleb Savchenko—who underwent a drag transformation of his own for the couple's freestyle routine—came in third and fourth place, respectively. 

"Each of the judges, thank you so much for the opportunity," Charli said after his victory was announced. "Thank you, Mark, for becoming my new best friend."

On the topic of the judges, it was the final night for head judge Len Goodman, who announced his departure from the show after 17 years during the Nov. 14 episode. Len was honored with tributes throughout the evening, including one featuring past contestants like Jerry Rice, Kelly Osbourne and Drew Lachey.
