Taylor Frankie Paul Reveals How Hannah Brown Is Helping Her Get Ready for ‘Bachelorette’ Journey
From one Bachelorette to another.
Over the past 21 seasons, “The Bachelorette” has given us unforgettable love stories (and plenty of drama). And earlier this year, it was announced that the show is taking a bold new turn with a familiar face from the reality TV world.
Taylor Frankie Paul, star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and viral TikTok sensation, was officially named the next Bachelorette. And yes, she’s ready to hand out roses and find her happily ever after.
After the jaw-dropping announcement, Taylor was flooded with love and support on social media from fellow Bachelor Nation stars and alumni.
And now, Taylor is sharing how former Bachelorette Hannah Brown is helping her prepare for her journey to find love.
In an interview with “Extra,” Taylor revealed, “Hannah Brown… she’s iconic and I actually had her season on as I was getting ready to go. And it kind of got me nervous because I was getting in my head like, ‘Oh, my gosh, what if this happens to me?’ And her story was very interesting. So I’m getting in my head.”
Taylor went on, sharing how she thinks she will emulate Hannah as the Bachelorette and revealed that they’ve chatted with each other.
“I try not to think too much about it. But like, someone like her is very blunt and straight to the point and that’s how I’m gonna be if not worse. Like more blunt,” she admitted. “She reached out to me, actually. I was so, like, I was fangirling. Because I’m like, ‘No way she’s reaching out.’”
The Bachelorette then shared what Hannah told her and touched on how she’s hoping to go in with her own perspectives and experiences.
Taylor said, “She’s like, ‘Hey girl, if you need anything, I’m here. Reach out if you need anything.’ But I was really scared to dive into conversation because I didn’t want to get nervous for it where I’m overthinking it.” Taylor then teased, “She did a little dirty thingy, thingy in the windmill is what I heard. Like she did the deed in there...It's been a while so I can't remember correctly, but I think that was her. Yeah I might have to top that. I'm kidding!”
We’re so excited to watch Taylor’s season of “The Bachelorette” next year and we love that Hannah reached out. We can't get enough of this Bachelor Nation friendship!
