DWTS Pro Teases Taylor Swift–Inspired Routine Fans Won’t Want to Miss: ‘Get Us to the Finale’

“Dancing with the Stars” pro dancer Jan Ravnik has a promise for fans. If he gets to the Season 34 finale with his celebrity partner Jen Affleck, the Taylor Swift Easter eggs will be in abundance in the ballroom.

Speaking with People magazine following his Disney Night dance with “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star, Ravnik teased that he has choreography inspired by his stint as a backup dancer on Swift’s Eras Tour ready to go.

“We already [talked] about it,” he said of a future TSwift DWTS dance with Affleck. “I think that was the first day [when] we [talked] about it, about the weeks and what our wishes are,” the ballroom pro added.

Ravnik, who climbed a ladder during the “Lavender Haze” segment of the Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024, urged fans to keep him and Affleck on “Dancing with the Stars” if they want to see more.

After Affleck suggested, “And maybe we’ll bring out the ladder,” Ravnik teased, “And some other things that you’re going to be very surprised.”

RHONJ’s Dolores Catania Reveals House Got Broken Into: ‘They Came in With a Blowtorch’

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania appears to be in the dark about casting for the show. RHONJ has been in a deep freeze since a dismal Season 14. There were rumors that the show might be rebooted or that some cast members might return.

There were even whispers that Dolores, Margaret Josephs, and Melissa Gorga were returning for Season 15. However, Dolores has stayed tight-lipped on the matter. “This is what they say, ‘No decisions have been made yet,’” Dolores previously stated. Welp, who needs reality TV drama when Dolores and her boyfriend, Paul Connell, are dealing with a real-life horror story.

During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Dolores and Paulie opened up about the scary incident. “Our house got broken into last week. Yes, or two weeks ago,” Dolores stated. “They came in with a blowtorch.”

“So, apparently, they came in with a blowtorch. They broke the window,” Dolores stated. “They heated it so that it wouldn’t set off the alarm, so it shatters without setting off the alarm. And then he has like the most insane alarm system.” The alarm system scared away the thieves, and they didn’t take any of the couple’s belongings. Plus, the police arrived in 20 seconds. Impressive!

Meanwhile, the duo learned a lesson. “Paul posted that day that we were in Rhode Island,” Dolores said. “And that night we got broken into.”
