Watch: Willow Shields Celebrates New "DWTS" High Mark

Willow Shields honored The Hunger Games on Dancing With the Stars and received a big payoff. Shields and her pro partner Mark Ballas received a total score of 39, the highest score of the season with their contemporary Hunger Games dance to Coldplay's "Atlas."

"I still can't really believe it," Shields told E! News' Ali Fedotowsky after her performance. "I feel amazing."

The dance itself was sort of like Hunger Games fan fiction. Ballas said they thought of it "like Katniss didn't volunteer and [Prim] had to actually go in" to the Hunger Games.

"Prim had to go in, but was boss, so...it kind of worked!" Shields said, noting she felt "so fierce" out there battling other dancers.

As for Shields' on-screen sister, Jennifer Lawrence, the 14-year-old Dancing competitor said she's sure Lawrence would "love" the dance tribute she did in honor of her most memorable year.

"She's been so supportive of me on this show and just me in general throughout my entire life, so I think she'd love it," Shields said.
