“Taylor’s Inner Circle Hits the Ballroom”: Taylor Swift’s Hunky Pal CONFIRMED as Gleb Savchenko’s Replacement on Dancing With the Stars, Sending Shockwaves Through the Cast

A brand new dancer will reportedly be shaking it off for the Mirrorball Trophy this year. 

Taylor Swift's back-up dancer Jan Ravnik has joined the cast of season 34 of Dancing With The Stars, according to The Sun.

Ravnik will be serving as a pro dancer, replacing Gleb Savchenko, 41, who is rumored to have been fired from the show, according to the website. 

Daily Mail has reached out for comment for Dancing With The Stars and Jan but have not yet heard back. 

'The show needed a replacement for Gleb [Savchenko] and Jan's availability came at the perfect time,' a source told the site.

'Like Gleb, Jan's got the devilishly handsome good looks, charm, and dance moves to back it up.'

The insider further praised Jan, gushing about his 'incredible choreography' and calling him 'probably the most talented new addition they've hired in years.' 

The hiring reportedly came about due to Jan's connection with DWTS choreographer Mandy Moore.  

'Jan knows Mandy Moore well. Mandy choreographed the Eras tour and has been choreographing DWTS for years and years,' the source said.

'So that's basically how that happened. It's such a family at this point, and Mandy was thrilled to welcome Jan into the DWTS family.'

As for Gleb, a source said he was axed for a variety of reasons - but Brooks Naders' claim he cheated on her was the straw that broke the camel's back. 

'Gleb was fired from Dancing With the Stars for a number of reasons but Brooks accusing him of cheating was the final straw,' the source told The Sun. 

Jan, who served as a back-up dancer on Taylor's Eras Tour, moved to the United States from Slovenia to pursue his career.

Before performing with Taylor he has worked as a backup dancer for the likes of Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars, Khalid, Bruno Mars, and Luis Fonsi, Out reports.

He also featured in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour film, which was released in cinemas in October.

Often drawing comparisons to 'Red White & Royal Blue' actor Taylor Zakhar Perez, the Slovenia-born hunk has rapidly become the most renowned among Taylor's team.

The source called Jan 'devilishly handsome' with the 'dance moves to back it up'

As a competitive dancer and choreographer in Slovenia, Jan gained national attention through various competition wins – including bagging the prestigious 'Best Dancer of Slovenia' award twice – before moving to Los Angeles in 2018 to further pursue his career.

There he performed alongside the likes of Bruno Mars, Lewis Capaldi and DJ Khalid – and was even chosen for Mariah Carey's 2020 'Christmas Special' for Apple TV.

The previous year he had travelled to Las Vegas with Paula Abdul for her six-month residency, before Swift finally scouted him to join her troupe in January last year.

Meanwhile, Gleb joined the cast of the ABC competition series in 2013 for season 16.

He was off the show for several years before later returning as a pro for season 23 in 2016.

Last year he was partnered with Brooks Nader, and the pair made headlines for their on and offscreen chemistry.

Their rumored fling then turned into a whirlwind romance when the pair were spotted packing on the PDA backstage, just shortly before their elimination in October.

They briefly split following their elimination before they reconciled again around the time the finale aired in November. But they ended up breaking up for good that following April.

Recently Gleb hinted he would not be returning to Dancing With The Stars, and suggested it had been over Brooks accusing him of cheating on her, which he has denied. 

'14 years of loyalty, erased by someone's lie,' he posted to TikTok, seemingly referencing Brooks' cheating allegation. 

Despite that, he was recently seen heading to DWTS rehearsals with a visor concealing his face.
