Are Jan Ravnik and Jen Affleck’s DWTS Outfits Inspired by Taylor Swift? (Exclusive)

Dancing With the Stars professional Jan Ravnik has addressed speculation regarding whether his costumes are Taylor Swift-inspired.

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Ravnik, 30, discussed his DWTS ensembles, which have been styled in line with the theme of Swift’s Life of a Showgirl album. “I’d say we’re supporting,” he noted, adding that he and his partner, Jen Affleck, plan to “stream” Swift’s album “24/7” when it releases on October 3.

Having previously performed as a dancer on Swift’s Eras Tour, Ravnik remarked, “Ultimately, it’s not just our call; it’s also on the costume department. But we were thrilled with the colors.”

This week, during One-Hit Wonders Night, Ravnik and Affleck, 26, performed a quickstep to A-ha’s “Take On Me.” Their costumes featured mint green hues, with Ravnik sporting a sheer sequin button-down under a vest, paired with pleated pants and matching shoes.
