Katie Thurston Stuns in Buzzworthy Key Art for 'The Bachelorette' Season 17
Here’s something to buzz about, Bachelor Nation!
The key art for Katie Thurston’s upcoming season of "The Bachelorette" dropped today - and, naturally, the poster celebrates the stunning Season 17 lead’s signature sense of humor.
In the promo shot, Katie — who rocks a bright purple skirt and formfitting white tank top — serves the camera a smirk as she clasps a red rose. The gorgeous image appropriately reads, “See what all the buzz is about.”
Of course, the tagline is a reference to Katie’s unforgettable limo entrance on "The Bachelor" Season 25, during which she introduced herself — and her massive purple vibrator — to Matt James.
Fans quickly fell in love with Katie not only for her sex-positive attitude but for her protective nature and hilarious personality. As viewers will recall, the Washington native consistently kept her fellow contestants entertained with her unique candor — and repeatedly came to their defense when “mean girl” behavior arose in the house.
In the first promo for her season — which premiered Sunday, April 25, during the 93rd annual Academy Awards — Katie revealed what she’s looking for in a partner. "I am who I am, and I want to meet someone who knows who they are," the franchise star confidently stated in the clip. "My person’s still out there."
See how Katie’s journey unfolds when "The Bachelorette" Season 17 premieres Monday, June 7, on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.
