This season of The Bachelorette [1] hasn't even started yet, and it's already a doozy. Since Clare Crawley was announced as the Bachelorette [2] in March, there have been quite a few shake-ups. First, filming was delayed due to a worldwide pandemic [3], and now there are reports that Clare is stepping down as the Bachelorette [4] and Tayshia Adams is taking her place [5]. Though ABC hasn't announced anything officially yet, they have heavily teased the switch-up in recent trailers.
On Sept. 1, the series finally unveiled the first official look at Clare's season. While it doesn't touch on the rumored Bachelorette switch-up, it does give us a glimpse at all the drama in store. Set to Keke Palmer's cover of Aretha Franklin's "Respect," the trailer shows Clare making connections with a few of the men, including the rumored winner of her season, Dale Moss [6]. Around the :27 mark, the two can be seen sharing a passionate kiss. The latest trailer further teases the drama as host Chris Harrison tells Clare, "Congratulations, you've just blown up The Bachelorette [7]." Get excited for the upcoming season, which airs on Oct. 13, with the official trailer and teasers ahead.
