Kim Kardashian Admits Daughter Outshines Her Talent While She ‘Froze’ on DWTS
In a recent episode of *The Kardashians*, Kim Kardashian found herself enviously observing her daughter, North West, effortlessly commanding the stage at the Hollywood Bowl for a performance of *The Lion King*. While Kim juggled her on-stage nerves, her 11-year-old daughter remained remarkably cool. The contrast between their performances couldn’t be starker. Kim recalled her own lackluster stint on *Dancing with the Stars* back in 2008, where she floundered to an unimpressive 11th place and described herself as “froze” under pressure. One can only wonder how her dance partner Mark Ballas must have felt on those excruciating nights.
In light of North’s poise, Kim quipped that she certainly couldn’t take the stage at that age, and judging by her performance record, she might even be right. After all, she joked about needing to take shots before competing to muster up the courage that could have significantly improved her DWTS ranking—who knew liquid courage could be an essential dance accessory?
However, Kardashian’s apprehension about North stepping into the spotlight reveals a deeper narrative at play: the perpetual push and pull between a supportive mother and a blossoming child star. Kim expressed her hesitance to become an overbearing momager, insisting she isn’t ready for her own version of the Kris Jenner lifestyle—think power suits and tailored cuts, which she humorously noted she’d prefer not to adopt just yet.
Adding a touch of spooky clairvoyance to the mix, Kim shared that mediums have frequently delivered the message that her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., believes she won’t be able to keep North from pursuing a career. One could speculate that the Kardashians might have some of those mystical ties—let’s be honest, balancing ambition with motherhood seems like a cosmic tightrope act they’ve mastered.
Ultimately, while Kim grapples with her past performances and her motherly duties, North appears to be on a trajectory destined for a long and illustrious career. For Kim, it seems the biggest challenge may not be how to keep her daughter grounded, but how to learn to let go and allow North to step into the spotlight that she has her eyes set on.
