“I traveled all around the world with Eras Tour, and now I’m coming to the ballroom stage for Dancing With the Stars,” Ravnik said in a recorded statement on Thursday’s Good Morning America. “Mirrorball never goes out of style, and we are ready to win it.”

In addition to his work with Swift on her Eras Tour, Ravnik also appeared in the “Cruel Summer” singer’s concert film, The Eras Tour Movie, and has danced with celebs including Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars, and Paula Abdul. The dancer also performed during the 97th Academy Awards.

Dancing With the Stars will reveal the full cast of pros and celebrities on Good Morning America on Sept. 3. The show has previously announced four celebrity contestants who will be taking to the dance floor this season: Robert Irwin, conservationist and son of the late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin; social media influencer Alix Earle; and two Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars, Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt.
