Shine bright, shine far, Shangela is a star. 

On Oct. 31's episode of Dancing With the Stars, Shangela and partner Gleb Savchenko danced their way through a haunted doll jazz routine to Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do." But the toy act was more than familiar to host Tyra Banks, who starred as a doll come to life in the iconic film franchise Life-Size and Life-Size 2

After Tyra pointed out the huge reaction the dance got from the audience, Shangela quipped, "I was living for them. I feel like the Life-Size. Me and you, Life-Size 3 with the doll."

In response, Tyra exclaimed, "You know what? We should do that! Disney+, should we do Life-Size 3? Should we do a Halloween one?"

Shangela then joked that the two should do a Life-Size film for "every season, every holiday—whatever you want, Miss Banks!"

Ultimately, all this toying around paid off for Shangela and Gleb—the two tied for fourth place with an overall score of 73 out of 80, while Jordin Sparks and partner Brandon Armstrong were eliminated.

Either way, Life-Size 3 might not actually be so far off. In Feb. 2020, Tyra appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, and teased that another film was in the works.  

After being asked about her future endeavors, Tyra confirmed that, "we are working on Life-Size 3," though there haven't been any updates on the sequel since. 

Watch Shangela's progress for yourself when Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Disney+.
