Who is The Bachelorette 2021?
The season 18 Bachelorette is Michelle Young, a teacher from Minnesota, who was the runner-up on season 25 of The Bachelor with Matt James. Her season premieres on October 19, 2021. As Bachelor Nation fans know, Michelle isn’t the only Bachelorette this year. Katie Thurston, a bank marketing manager from Washington, was the season 17 Bachelorette. Katie was eliminated in 10th place on Matt’s season and walked away engaged to Blake Moynes after the season 17 finale in August.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in October 2021, Tayshia Adams, who hosted Michelle’s Bachelorette season with Kaitlyn Bristowe, teased that Michelle’s finale is unlike any recent Bachelorette finale. “How it ends? I don’t think we’ve seen an ending like what happens in a couple of seasons now,” Tayshia said. “We’ve seen a lot. So there’s a lot of highs and lows. It’s all good things. I would just say she definitely leans into her heart and puts it all out on the line.”
When does The Bachelorette 2021 air?
The Bachelorette airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
