Who is Taylor Swift's Sexy Backup Dancer, Jan Ravnik?

Ever since Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour kicked off in March, social media has been overrun with videos, clips, photos, memes, and articles about all things Eras Tour. But one particular aspect of the tour has caught the eye of a certain segment of the population: A backup dancer who, according to some, is just about the sexiest thing walking on two legs.

As the tour reached its (for now) conclusion last week in Los Angeles, footage from those concerts showed dancers who had grown into the choreography in thrilling ways. What began in March as carefully curated steps had, by August, become something totally effervescent, loose, and – of course – dazzling. One dancer, Jan Ravnik, grew especially playful and seductive by the end of the tour's run, so much so that entire TikTok accounts were devoted to the man's brute sex appeal. Case in point:

But who is Jan Ravnik?

For starters, he was born and raised in Slovenia, where he got his start in dance competitions, winning several titled both nationally, in Europe, and worldwide. At one point, he was named Best Dancer of Slovenia and won an award for Best Trainer/Choreographer from the Slovenian Olympic committee. From there, he performed on a handful of Slovenian competition television shows like "Slovenia's Got Talent" and "The X Factor."

A few years ago, he moved to America and quickly caught the eye of industry professionals, leading him to perform with the likes of Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul, Bruno Mars, Khalid, Luis Fonsi, and, now, Taylor Swift. Other details on the 28-year-old heartthrob are scarce, but if there's anything we've learned about Swifties this year, it's that their collective power knows no ends, and that extends to their impressive sleuthing abilities, so I wouldn't count out a slow drip of Ravnik information for as long as The Eras Tour is still running (which, for now, is until at least November 2024).


But until then, here are some scintillating photos of this talented sexpot.
