Swifties represent Ravnik's biggest fan base for his work opposite the singer-songwriter as one of the back-up dancers during her record-breaking Eras Tour. Some of his standout moments on the tour include serving as Taylor Swift's main dance partner during "Fortnight" and picking her up off the floor alongside Kam Saunders in the set-up to "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" during *The Tortured Poets Department *era.
Ravnik also showed off his impressive abs during the lyrics "Get it off your chest" when Swift sang "Lavender Haze" in her *Midnights *era.
He was also featured during this year's Academy Awards dancing with Margaret Qualley during a tribute to the James Bond franchise.
