Get the “Mirrorball” ready!
One of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour dancers, Jan Ravnik, has officially joined “Dancing With the Stars” as a new pro for Season 34 of the dance competition show.
The announcement was made live on “Good Morning America” Thursday, just two days after Swift revealed her engagement to Travis Kelce.
Ravnik quickly became a fan-favorite during the Eras Tour when clips of the hunky backup dancer started going viral on social media.
In a heartwarming post shared to Instagram when the tour wrapped back in December, the competitive dancer thanked the “Bad Blood” singer for “changing [his] life.”
“I never imagined I’d be performing in front of sold-out stadiums across the globe. Night after night, I got to share the stage with the most dedicated, creative and passionate people,” he continued.
“Thank you to Taylor for setting a bar so high it made every one of us rise to the challenge. We’ve created memories, we’ve shared laughs and tears along the way. I am not same person I was 2 years ago and I can easily say these were the best years of my life.”
Interestingly enough, the Eras Tour featured choreography by Mandy Moore, who served as a guest judge on “Dancing With the Stars” during the show’s “Taylor Swift Night” in November 2023.
“I dig her music and I dig her and I love her vision … it’s so nice to be on a team with somebody,” she exclusively told Page Six at the time.
“And I’m not going to say it was easy – it was a ton of numbers in a very short amount of time – but I have to say, every day I went to work, I was just like, ‘This is amazing.’”
While Ravnik is most famous for dancing on the record-breaking Eras Tour — and being featured in the “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” concert film — the heartthrob has quite the impressive dance background beyond the pop star’s world stage.
The Slovenian native has also performed alongside stars like Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars and Paula Abdul, and has graced plenty of awards show stages over the years, including the Oscars and the Billboard Music Awards.
Additionally, he’s been the recipient of multiple National, European and World champion titles.
Most recently, Ravnik teamed up with reigning mirrorball champion Jenna Johnson for a stunning contemporary routine set to Kelly Clarkson’s cover of “Happier Than Ever” by Billie Eilish.
The dance, which Ravnik choreographed, received plenty of love from other “DWTS” pros and former contestants, including Val Chmerkovskiy, Daniella Karagach, Alan Bersten, Emma Slater, Joey Graziadei, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Chrishell Stause.
Naturally, the video upload also sparked major fan speculation from fans online, with many wondering if Ravnik could be joining the forthcoming season.
Ravnik’s casting news comes amid reports that he would be “replacing” veteran pro Gleb Savchenko. However, a source tells us he was cast as an exciting new addition — not a replacement for the Russian dancer.
The full list of celebrities and pro dancers for Season 34 will officially be announced Sept. 3 on “Good Morning America.”
While ABC does not comment on casting rumors, the network has already confirmed four of the stars who will be competing for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy this fall.
Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin was the first to be revealed, followed by influencer Alix Earle and Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
Earle, 24, and Irwin, 21, were spotted leaving rehearsals at a studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
“Dance Time,” Earle later wrote via Instagram Stories, alongside a mirror pic snapped on the dance floor. She also shared a video of herself gearing up to meet her partner for the first time.
“One week until you all find out [who it is]!!!!” she captioned it.
Meanwhile, Affleck, 26, and Leavitt, 32, have been teasing their dance moves in various videos shared to TikTok and Instagram over the last few weeks.
“WE READYYYYYYYYY,” Leavitt captioned one of the clips, which showed her and Affleck in the studio. “MOMTOK HAS ARRIVED!!!!”
Judge Derek Hough commented on the video, writing, “Y’all look right at home 🙌 Now get practicing,” while his sister, co-host Julianne Hough, added, “Werk ladies 🔥🔥🔥.”
The Season 34 premiere of “Dancing With the Stars” kicks off Tuesday, Sept. 16 on ABC and Disney+. In the meantime, stay tuned to Page Six for all the latest updates on the dance competition series.
