Bachelorette star Jenn Tran is considering using a song from Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets Department for her opening number on Dancing With the Stars. The 26-year-old shared some behind-the-scenes insight into her musical choices in a TikTok video, dedicating a Taylor Swift song to each episode during her time on The Bachelorette. She is considering using Swift’s song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” for her opening routine on Dancing With the Stars, following her split from fiancé Devin Strader.
The song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” from Swift’s 11th studio album, is rumored to be about the end of her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn. Tran’s season of The Bachelorette ended dramatically when she proposed to Strader instead of the other way around. After leaving the finale engaged, Tran revealed on After the Final Rose that they had broken up off camera, with Strader ending things over the phone. He claimed he didn’t love her anymore and regretted their engagement, leaving Tran emotional while Strader appeared unaffected by the breakup.
Tran has been announced as a cast member on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars and will be paired with dancing partner Sasha Farber. She expressed that after a heartbreak, she needed a different direction in her life and has always wanted to learn how to dance. Tran is excited about this new era in her life and is looking forward to the experience on the show. Dancing With the Stars premieres on ABC on Tuesday, September 17, at 8 p.m. ET.
One commenter on TikTok suggested that Tran perform her opening routine to the song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” on Dancing With the Stars, to which she responded with uncertainty. Despite her emotional breakup with Strader, Tran is determined to move forward and focus on new opportunities, such as her upcoming appearance on the dance competition show. Having dedicated a Taylor Swift song to each episode on The Bachelorette, Tran is considering incorporating Swift’s music into her performance on Dancing With the Stars.
Tran tearfully recounted the events of her breakup with Strader on After the Final Rose, explaining that he had expressed regret over their engagement and claimed he no longer loved her. She mentioned that Strader had been casual and unaffected by the breakup, which was not surprising to her given his lack of emotional response throughout their split. Despite the heartbreak, Tran is looking forward to a fresh start with a different direction in her life, which includes her participation in Dancing With the Stars.
Tran’s split from Strader and her subsequent participation on Dancing With the Stars have been met with mixed reactions from fans, with many expressing support for her new endeavors while also sympathizing with the emotional turmoil she experienced. As she prepares for her debut on the dance competition show, Tran is focused on embracing this new chapter in her life and moving past the heartbreak of her breakup. With the premiere of Dancing With the Stars approaching, fans are eager to see Tran’s performance and witness her journey on the show.
