Recent Bachelorette star Jenn Tran has been the archer, and she’s been the prey.

Which is why she’ll be dancing a foxtrot to Taylor Swift’s “The Archer” with partner Sasha Farber on next week’s Dedication Night on Dancing With the Stars.

Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal the songs, dances, and dedications for next Tuesday’s episode of the ABC dance competition. But among the list of sweet shout-outs to family members, partners, teammates, and other loved ones, Tran stands apart with her dedication — her dance is dedicated to the one and only Taylor Swift.

Given the year that Tran has had, including having to watch her Bachelorette proposal on live television post-breakup, it honestly makes sense. Swift is the queen of writing about heartbreak and moving on, and “The Archer” is a stirring summation of the self-doubts we deal with when love doesn’t work out. “Who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay?” the lyrics from the Lover track ask.

In addition to honoring the people and institutions that mean the most to season 33’s contestants, the episode will also welcome back former pro and three-time Mirrorball champion Mark Ballas to the ballroom. Ballas will join as a guest judge, offering his expertise as the couples reach the halfway point in the competition. He last competed in season 31, winning with partner Charli D’Amelio. He visited the ballroom last season as one of numerous pros who returned for a tribute dance to late judge Len Goodman.

Additionally, judge Derek Hough and his wife, Hayley, will celebrate her return to the ballroom, her first time back since her 2023 brain surgery. The duo will deliver a routine to “Beautiful Things (Acoustic),” by Benson Boone.
