Eras Tour Opener Owenn on Touring With Taylor Swift, Looking Back at Starring in ‘Lover’ Music Video
variety.comJulia MacCary editor Eras Tour opener Christian Owens, who goes by the stage name Owenn, says he was in the recording studio “in the womb.” Granted, his mom was a Sony-signed artist and part of the 1990s group Lyric.
Given his mother’s background, music was always around him. Owenn spoke with Variety over Zoom in his hotel room having just arrived in Chicago for his second stop on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
His next day is jam-packed, starting at 7 a.m. and ending with his performance on Soldier Field. The singer describes the first night of performing on the tour as “electrifying” as he looks forward to making his show even better with his remaining stops.
Owenn is a true multi-hyphenate whose credits extend far beyond singing and the Eras Tour; he actually started in dance. From getting a foot in the industry’s door with Diddy’s “Hello Good Morning” performance on “American Idol” in 2010 to dancing alongside Normani in her song “Motivation” (2019) to starring as Swift’s lover in “Lover” (2019), Owenn now credits much of his career to his life-long love of music that stemmed from growing up in a music studio.
