Julianne Hough Joins Shirtless Acrobats for 'Magic Mike' Performance on 'America’s Got Talent' - Watch Here!

America’s Got Talent kicked off the first night of their semifinals on Tuesday (September 3) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood!

Judges Julianne Hough, Gabrielle Union, Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel, as well as guest judge Sean Hayes and host Terry Crews, all hit the red carpet ahead of the semi-finals.

Julianne was unexpectedly part of a sexy Magic Mike-inspired performance by the Messoudi Brothers, which featured all three of the shirtless brothers escorting her onto a platform set up in front of the judges’ table to the backdrop of Ginuwine‘s anthem “Pony.”

“The fact that I wore pants is like, ‘Thank you universe! You just knew what was gonna happen!’ Hough told ET. “Although I would have done it even if I was in a dress anyway.”

“That’s why I think I was born to be here, because I love being a part [of it]. There’s something about feeling like you can be an artist and a performer while at the same time you can still help other people achieve their dreams,” Julianne continued. “I said something about Magic Mike last week and they listened. And then they brought me out, and I was okay with that!”
