Australian veteran Emily Seebohm recovered to win bronze after sitting seventh at the halfway mark and fifth at the final turn before her own stellar last 50m.
McKeowns gold medal in 2:04.68 marked an improvement in colour and time on her silver in the 200m backstroke final at the 2019 world championships.
The 20-year-olds triumph also gave Australia its 10th gold medal at Tokyo 2020.

Seebohm, meanwhile, was in tears of joy after the 200m backstroke final.
Im sorry, its so amazing. I never thought this was going to happen again, she said.
Now 29 and in her fourth Olympics, Seebohm said she was just so proud of the team.
The team has done so well and its an absolute dream on this team and Im so grateful for all the times Ive been on the Australian swim team, she said.
Honestly, its been the favourite thing of my entire career.
