But as painful as they may appear to the naked eye—they are in even worse shape than they appear. "They are actually superglued right now because I lost another [toenail] in dress rehearsal!" The glue isn't just for show—Irwin explained that attaching the nails helped to abate the pain. "I just have holes in my feet and my nails keep popping off, but if I superglue them they don't hurt as much."

The dancing queen isn't in this alone, however. She has enlisted her boyfriend Chandler Powell to take on the gruesome task of glue-master. "My boyfriend was the only one who saw my feet and he was the one helping me superglue them and taping them every day," she explained. That's true love!
