Owenn’s relationship with Taylor Swift
If you are a Swiftie, Christian Owens might look familiar. That’s because he has a long professional relationship with Swift.
To begin, Owenn was a dancer on two of Swift’s tours: the 1989 Tour and the Reputation Tour.
In addition, he was the main dancer for Swift’s 1989 stadium tour, Bad Blood.
As their professional friendship grew, Swift asked Owenn to be her co-star and love interest in her ‘Lover’ music video.
And, with over 200 million views on the music video, it brought more attention to Owenn.
Later, Swift pulled some strings to get Owenn his first record deal. “We had a whole bunch of label meetings,” he said candidly during his Instagram live session.
Taylor Swift was a huge help and co-signer… Many people are unaware.”
“She actually contacted the head of Republic herself on my behalf,” he continued, “which was kind of crazy.” I arrive at the meeting. ‘Yo, why is Taylor Swift so adamant about us signing you?’ they wondered. ‘We’d like to see you perform!'”
And, for everything Swift has done for him, Owenn has always expressed his gratitude in some way.
Christian Owens also uses his social media platform to wish Swift a happy birthday and to share memories with her.
