Season 3 of America\u2019s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders<\/a> just dropped on Netflix, and we are once again gripped by the world of the America\u2019s Sweethearts. But what happened to Dayton Bramhall<\/a> after she was cut from the team once again?<\/p>\n

June 16 saw the return of the reality docudrama, which follows the auditions and training camp of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, who fight for a coveted spot on the cheerleading squad. In the first few episodes, we see hopeful Dayton return to audition for the 2025\u20132026 football season after she was emotionally cut during training camp last season. This is her fourth time auditioning, and fans of the show will know Dayton\u2019s mom, Shelly Bramhall, is the team\u2019s associate choreographer and a DCC alum, having danced during the class of 1989.<\/p>\n

Dayton revealed she spent a year prepping to audition to qualify for the team after her exit last season. \u201cI’ve been in class every single week, maybe three times a week, working on style, working on confidence and performance,\u201d she tells the cameras. \u201cI feel more confident this year. I feel more myself, more grown up, so I don\u2019t feel like I’m trying to cut and paste into a different mould.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite giving a brilliant audition, it\u2019s then revealed that it still isn\u2019t Dayton\u2019s time\u2014and she gets cut from the squad again. Head choreographer Judy Trammell says it\u2019s one of the \u201chardest things in my career\u201d to make the decision, before adding, \u201cI can sleep at night cause I know that we gave her every opportunity, and she did herself too. She’s worked hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continues, \u201cIt’s just sad that it didn’t work out. Dayton is a beautiful girl, and she’s a beautiful dancer. The power and the ability to captivate and excite and ignite the space in which she’s dancing. I don’t think that’s her style of dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where is Dayton now?<\/p>\n

The American football season ran from September 2025 to January 2026, meaning the DCC training camp would have taken place last summer. Since then, Dayton has been active on social media, sharing insights into her life and replying to fan comments on the show.<\/p>\n

In July 2025, after she was cut from the team, she shared a personal essay<\/a> to insist the fourth audition was \u201cdefinitely my last with DCC,\u201d adding that she was \u201cclosing that chapter and opening up a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI\u2019ve grown so much these past two years, just from this experience alone. That was enough for me, and now it\u2019s time to move on to the next thing and grow somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n

In December 2025, she shared a post about how the year just gone had impacted her in positive ways that she hadn’t seen coming. \u201c2025 mentally shifted me in ways I didn\u2019t expect,\u201d she wrote at the time. \u201cA new job, a new place, and friendships that feel like home showed me that growth isn\u2019t just about change. It\u2019s about alignment. I learned to trust myself, protect my peace, and let good things find me. Proud of who I\u2019m becoming. \ud83e\udd8b\u201d<\/p>\n

Judging by her Instagram, Dayton is still living in Houston, Texas, and is still cheerleading, while it looks like she’s also in a relationship with someone named Drew.<\/p>\n

In the personal essay, Dayton also said of her future, \u201cThe world is my oyster. The biggest thing I would love to do is dance on Broadway and in the West End in London.\u201d<\/p>\n

Love that for her!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Season 3 of America\u2019s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders just dropped on Netflix, and we are once again gripped…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[121233,121232,44645,121230,102,104,103,28234,100445,24577,89712,121229,121231],"class_list":["post-339908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-collection-netflix","tag-collection-reality-tv-news","tag-content-type-news","tag-contentid-4b10cf25-bb63-4342-9582-d33b4313367d","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-displaytype-standard-article","tag-issyndicated-false","tag-locale-us","tag-read_time-3","tag-shorttitle-where-is-dayton-from-dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders","tag-subsection-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
