If there isn't a "Tiger King"-themed number, then why bother?

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens! On Wednesday, Good Morning America announced the celebrity lineup for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, and we'll be honest, we're actually pretty excited about the stars joining the cast—particularly, Carole Baskin.

Baskin of Tiger King fame is one of the many celebrity guests to hit the dance floor in Season 29 of the ABC dance competition. Other notable stars include Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean, former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, Grammy award-winning rapper Nelly, NBA star Charles Oakley, and many more. View the full celebrity cast lineup.

According to GMA, Baskin is "ready to set the record straight after feeling 'villainized' by 'Tiger King.'"

Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli are set to return for the season, however, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are being replaced by Tyra Banks.

Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Monday, September 14, on ABC.
