Owenn’s recent work was with Lil Nas X, and the two seem to have a great friendship. In 2021, Owenn and Nas X stepped together at the Met Gala. And some months ago, in September 2022, he opened for the pop artist during his tour.

Owenn’s history with Taylor Swift

If you are a Swiftie, then Owenn might look a bit familiar. And that’s because he has had quite a professional history with Swift.

To begin from the start, Owenn was one of Swift’s dancers on two of her tours; the 1989 Tour and Reputation Tour. Additionally, he served as the main dancer for Bad Blood for Swift’s 1989 stadium tour.

As Owenn and Swift’s professional friendship continued, the latter asked the former to be her co-star and love interest in her ‘Lover’ music video. And with the music video garnering over 200 million views, it put more spotlight on Owenn.

Later, Swift pulled some strings so that Owenn could get his first-ever record deal. While speaking candidly on his Instagram live session, he said, “We had a whole bunch of label meetings. Taylor Swift was a huge co-sign and help…a lot of people don’t know.”

He continued, “She actually contacted the head of Republic herself on my behalf, which was kind of crazy. I get to the meeting. They were like ‘Yo, why is Taylor Swift so adamant about us signing you? We want to see you perform!’”

And for all that Swift has done for him, Owenn has always expressed his gratitude in one form or another. He also uses his social media platform to send birthday wishes to Swift and describe moments he shared with her.

When Swift announced Owenn as one of her opening acts, he posted a video on Instagram where he said, “I’m so excited. Coming from dancing for her for 1989 and then dancing for her for Reputation to starring as her love interest in Lover, it’s been a full ride.”

Similarly, one social media user went as far as suggesting that Kendall and her sisters should take up smoking, while including a “lol” to potentially soften the statement’s tone.

What did Kendall Jenner say about the smoking rumor?

Kendall has not directly addressed the rumor surrounding her smoking, but she has been proactive in asserting her non-smoking status whenever the topic has been raised in interviews.
