An ABC executive is speaking out about Harry Jowsey‘s elimination from Dancing With the Stars.
The network exec reacted to the theory online that Taylor Swift‘s fans, the Swifties, had a hand in eliminating the 26-year-old reality TV star from the competition during “A Celebration of Taylor Swift” week.

Robert Mills, the Vice President of Alternative Series at ABC Studios, wrote on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a screenshot of a U.S. Sun headline that read, “Taylor Swift fans vow to vote Harry Jowsey off ‘DWTS’ after reality star ‘betrays’ singer on social media.”
He wrote alongside the screenshot: “I actually wonder if this is what happened.”
His comment came after Harry and his pro partner, Rylee Arnold, were eliminated. He was often at the bottom of the leaderboard throughout the competition, but was repeatedly saved by fan votes until now.
Swifties noticed that Harry follows Scooter Braun on Instagram, which some considered to be a betrayal considering Taylor’s well-known feud over her song masters with the music industry exec.
Some users posted online to discourage fans from voting for Harry due to the connection.
“Attention swifties there is a contestant on dwts who is a scooter braun fan and follower,” one viral tweet reads.
Five duos remain on Dancing With the Stars, which airs Tuesdays on ABC at 8 p.m. ET. See who remains!
