On Thursday (Aug. 28), the pop star’s former backup dancer revealed on Good Morning America that he will be joining the long-running competition show as a pro for season 34. It’s unknown which star he’ll be paired up with on his quest to win the coveted Mirrorball Trophy, as this season’s full celebrity cast has not yet been announced. So far, influencer Alix Earle, conservationist Robert Irwin and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt are all confirmed to be a part of the next installment.
“I traveled all around the world with Eras Tour, and now I’m coming to the ballroom stage for Dancing with the Stars,” Ravnik said in video statement on GMA. “Mirrorball never goes out of style, and we are ready to win it.”
The news comes about eight months after the Eras trek wrapped in December, ending after 149 shows in five different continents as the highest grossing tour of all time. It pulled in a record $2 billion-plus in earnings.
In addition to the historic tour and its corresponding Eras Tour concert film, Ravnik has also appeared on stages for the 97th Academy Awards and Mariah Carey Christmas: The Magic Continues, according to People.
Ravnik’s announcement adds to the galaxy of exciting news happening in the Swift universe right now. Not only is the 14-time Grammy winner gearing up to release an upbeat album of pop “bangers,” The Life of a Showgirl, on Oct. 3, but she’s also getting ready to walk down the aisle. On Tuesday (Aug. 26), she announced and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, writing on Instagram under photos of the proposal and her massive diamond engagement ring, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
