Fan theories about “Dancing With the Stars” keep things so interesting, and the latest speculation about a potential casting for Season 34 has also brought Taylor Swift into the mix. Could someone close to her be included in the show? Will she make an appearance?
What Did Jenna Johnson Say About DWTS Season 34?
Ahead of the upcoming season, there has been great excitement as fans try to figure out who will and who will not be competing in the DWTS ballroom. Most people would assume Swift is much too big a star (with an insanely busy schedule) to sign on as a competitor, but she could be in the crowd if someone close to her joins the show. Fans are hopeful that that person would be Jason Kelce, the brother of Travis Kelce, who is dating the ”Cruel Summer” singer.
The speculation started with comments professional dancer Jenna Johnson made in an interview with the “Call It What It Is” podcast on May 26. She shared that she would love to dance with Jason and that she had never had the opportunity to dance with a football player before.
“I have not had a football player, and I think that they’re just so incredible on the show,” Johnson said on the “Call It What It Is” podcast. “They understand that work ethic and the time and effort that goes into being great. So I think they always do really well on the show. I haven’t had one of those yet. Jason Kelce, I just keep throwing his name out because I think he would be so fun.”
She continued, “I just think he has the vibe where he doesn’t take things too seriously. I think he would be down to rip off his shirt. I would just be down for a really fun person who is just down for the experience. It’s ballroom dancing, it’s not that serious at the end of the day, so I think he would have such great energy.”
Why Jason Kelce Joining DWTS Is Bringing Swift Fans Hope
The mention of Jason being cast on DWTS Season 34 created hype around the possibility of Swift coming to watch him compete in the live shows. Page Six reports that “fans on social media theorized that if Jason were to actually be cast on the show, Swift would ‘absolutely’ come to the LA-based set to support the athlete.” Multiple other websites, including Parade, have offered the same theories.
Jason’s casting and the impact it would have on Swift and her fans is something that has been discussed on a DWTS Reddit Forum. Some feel he is too close to the singer to be cast on Season 34. “I think he’s too close to Taylor Swift it’ll skew the vote. Maybe in a couple years,” a comment reads. “He seems like he’d be a fun personality to have on the show, but with his close proximity to Taylor Swift, I’d hate having him on … ” another person shared.
Swifties are a loyal and passionate bunch, and they are always looking for more access to their favorite star (which is why they were so upset after she skipped the 2025 American Music Awards). But even if Jason did join DWTS — and, frankly, his casting would be epic following his recent retirement from the NFL — there is no guarantee that Swift would attend.
