Taylor Swift Brings Good Luck to ‘DWTS:’ Harry Jowsey Is Sent Packing
After weeks of fan outrage that the dance-challenged reality star was still in the competition, the magic of Taylor Swift week finally saw him eliminated.

First, Taylor Swift came for Harry Styles. Now, the singer eliminated Harry Jowsey from Dancing With the Stars. All people named Harry ought to watch their back. Who’s next—Prince Harry?
Tuesday night was the highly anticipated Taylor Swift-themed episode on Dancing With the Stars, which saw the remaining six contestants dancing to almost every era in the pop-star’s collection. While “Shake It Off,” “Lover,” and “Lavender Haze” were the titles included in the team relay dance, individual pairs were also given the chance to pick their favorite number out of albums like Fearless, Reputation, and Folklore for their individual routines.
Jason Mraz, who once sang with Swift on her Speak Now tour, won the hearts of Swifties all over the world thanks to his stunning Argentine tango to “Don’t Blame Me” from Reputation. Mraz’s flawless performance earned him a perfect score from the judges, ensuring he has a good chance at the Mirrorball trophy as the contestants head into the final few episodes.
One contestant, however, wasn’t nearly as beloved. Jowsey, a social media personality and former star of Too Hot to Handle, has been earning plenty of criticism over the last few weeks on DWTS. On last week’s episode, fans were infuriated because The Brady Bunch star Barry Williams was voted out instead of Jowsey. Jowsey’s dull Viennese waltz couldn’t top Williams, who went viral for tearing off his shirt.

Tuesday night, though, the calls for the reality star to get axed from the competition were louder than ever. Jowsey and his partner, pro Rylee Arnold, opted for a slower rumba to “August” from Folklore. While the duo didn’t earn the lowest overall score of the night—raking in a total of 30 points from the judge’s table, which included guest Mandy Moore, Swift’s choreographer for The Eras Tour—their total wasn’t high enough to measure up to folks like Mraz and Ariana Madix.
