Owenn (whose real name is Christian Owens) is describing what it was like to open for Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour!

The musician and dancer reflected on the experience while chatting with People at iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball in New York City on Friday (December 8).

“Sound checks when the stadiums were empty and it’s just me up there and I’m just walking through, it’s surreal,” he said. “I think the first soundcheck, I was like, ‘Please pinch me. This can’t be real.’ I think it’s always that moment.”

Taylor Swift recently sat down with CBS Sunday Morning and got completely candid about her career and new album, Lover. While speaking to journalist Tracy Smith about the difficulties she's faced as a young woman in the music industry, the 29-year-old pop star called out some of the sexist language used to describe female artists. "A man does something, it's strategic; a woman does the same thing, it's calculated. A man is allowed to react; a woman can only overreact," she said.

Taylor maintained that the CEO of Big Machine Records, Scott Borchetta, didn't tell her that Scooter was going to purchase the company. "I knew he would sell my music,...

Christian Owens is a name you'll want to remember. Moments before dropping the music video for "Lover," Taylor Swift hyped up her leading man as "one of the most talented people I know." In revealing details about the romantic visual project during her "Lover's Lounge" YouTube livestream, Swift (who previously worked with Owens on last year's Reputation Stadium Tour) described her co-star as an "amazing actor" and "incredible dancer" on the brink of becoming "your new favorite artist."  While there's arguably no better stamp of approval than one from T. Swift, Owen's latest gig is far from his first breakout moment. In...

On the eve of her anticipated seventh album Lover, Taylor Swift has released the video for the title track, which she unveiled earlier this month.

The clip shows Swift and her beau (played by Christian Owens, her dance partner on the Reputation Tour) building their very own dream house together – inside a child’s Christmas snowglobe! – complete with color-blocked rooms and outfits and plenty of fantasy. A giant fishbowl? She has it. A costumed New Years party? You got it. Vintage home movies on film? Oh, it’s here. The...
