Watch: Fifth Harmony's Lauren Jauregui Reacts to Normani Reunion at ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Those were Lauren Jauregui's girls on the Dancing With the Stars ballroom floor.

Indeed, the Fifth Harmony alum couldn't help but gush about her bandmate Normani making a cameo during Jordan Chiles' freestyle for the season 34 finale, Nov. 25.

"A couple of days ago, I found out," Lauren exclusively told E! News' Will Marfuggi after the show. "It was so stunning to watch. Jordan's freestyle was so spectacular and Mani eats down every time she's on the camera, baby. You give her something to perform, she's gonna eat it up!"

For the "Expectations" singer, seeing Normani—who came in third place alongside Val Chmerkovskiy in season 24—and Jordan shine like the Mirrorball Trophy gave her all the feels.

"It was such amazing energy," Lauren—who, along with her partner Brandon Armstrong, was eliminated in week three this season—added. "I loved watching all my friends dance their little hearts out and do just such an incredible job tonight. It was so magical."

As the "Work From Home" singer returned for the finale—where she reunited with Brandon on the dance floor—she reflected on her time chacha'ing in hopes of making it to the top.

"For anyone in this experience, you want it to last as long as possible," she explained. "But this was such a special experience for me. I'm so grateful to have been here, to have met Brandon, to have met all these beautiful people."

"The pros and the contestants are so special to me," the 29-year-old continued. "We've all built such a beautiful bond, so I'm really grateful for this experience. It's just so unique. It's everything I love: glitz, glam, dance, vibes."

Meanwhile, Jordan—who came in third place with pro Ezra Sosa—revealed how she and Normani teamed up for their performance to her song "Motivation" and Beyoncé's "Bow Down."

"She's the one that actually said, 'I think I should be in your freestyle,'" the Olympian told E!, noting that the Fifth Harmony alum pitched herself in September. "I didn't know she was serious until her manager called me and was like, 'No, she's being serious. She wants to be in it.'"

The routine—which judge Carrie Ann Inaba described as the best freestyle routine she'd seen in DWTS' 20-year history—is something Jordan will cherish forever.

"I came into this wondering what was gonna happen and wondering if I would even make a finale," Jordan explained, "so to know that people are saying my freestyle was one of the best freestyles they've seen means everything."

After lacing up her dance shoes for 11 weeks, Jordan—who placed third behind runner-up Alix Earle and winner Robert Irwin—reflected on how the experience gave her a new perspective on life.

"We live in a world of different imaginations, different dreams, different realities," she explained. "Words can't express how grateful I am to be a part of this show."
