I have officially lost my senses: I can’t smell … and I definitely can’t taste anything, so now is the time for those disgusting juices that I know are so good for you,” she said. “I just want to let everyone know that even though my partner and I have COVID, which I feel still so bad about, I’m just so happy that we are both feeling good. We are going to still dance on Monday. But we’re going to do it remote, and we’re going to be doing it from the comfort of our own home.”
