In 2009, she competed in season eight of Dancing with the Stars, the show’s youngest competitor ever. Partnered with Mark Ballas, she won the competition.

Shawn got engaged to Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Andrew East on July 24, 2015, and they tied the knot in a gorgeous Nashville ceremony on April 15, 2016. The couple suffered a painful miscarriage in 2017. In April 2019, the couple announced they would be expecting a child in October 2019.
