ABC executive Robert Mills suspects that the elimination of Harry Jowsey on Dancing With the Stars may be due to Taylor Swift fans who were upset with Jowsey for following Scooter Braun on Instagram.
Swifties discouraged others from voting for Jowsey, connecting him to Scooter Braun, and instead encouraged voting for other contestants.
Jowsey and his partner, Rylee Arnold, were eliminated from the show after dancing to music from Swift’s songbook. Despite this, the pair expressed gratitude for the experience and their partnership.
Robert Mills, the Vice President of Alternative Series at ABC Studios, speculated that Taylor Swift fans may have played a role in Harry Jowsey’s Dancing With the Stars elimination after Swifties took issue with Jowsey following Scooter Braun on Instagram, sparking a social media campaign to vote him off in response to Braun’s feud with Swift.
In a recent Twitter post, Robert Mills, the Vice President of Alternative Series at ABC Studios, raised the possibility that Taylor Swift fans might have influenced Harry Jowsey’s elimination from Dancing With the Stars. The post followed the headline from U.S. Sun that claimed, “Taylor Swift fans vow to vote Harry Jowsey off ‘DWTS’ after reality star ‘betrays’ singer on social media.” Mills’ speculation came after Jowsey and his partner Rylee Arnold were eliminated from the show, despite receiving fan votes throughout the competition.
Prior to Jowsey’s elimination, fans noticed that he follows Scooter Braun, prompting some to discourage others from voting for him due to his connection with Braun. This move sparked a debate among Swifties, with many expressing their disappointment and opting to support other contestants, such as Charity Lawson, Jason Mraz, or Xochitl Gomez. The controversy surrounding Jowsey’s social media connections with Braun resulted in a call to redirect fan votes to other competitors.
Despite the backlash from Swifties, Jowsey and Arnold continued to participate in the competition, with their chemistry fueling dating rumors. The duo addressed the speculation, with Jowsey stating that they were solely focused on their dance performances. Even though Jowsey and Arnold shut down the romance rumors, the pair expressed admiration for one another, with Jowsey praising his partner’s patience and beauty on the show.
As the show progresses, five duos remain in the competition, airing on ABC on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. The speculation and controversy surrounding Jowsey’s connection to Taylor Swift fans have added a unique dynamic to the competition, creating intrigue and tension among fans.
