Pro dancer Mark Ballas is sending his former Dancing with the Stars partner Lindsey Stirling a sweet message after they came so close to winning the coveted mirrorball trophy last week.
The duo came in second in the show’s 25th season, losing to Hamilton star Jordan Fisher and his partner Lindsay Arnold. Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz and his partner Witney Carson came in third.

“That one will go down as one of my all time favorites,” he wrote. “@LindseyStirling I love you with all of my heart & am so proud of you. You inspire me.”
Stirling’s journey to second place on Dancing with the Stars was also one she’ll remember forever. Shortly after her loss, the violinist tweeted a similarly gushing message to Ballas.
