That’s a wrap! Taylor Frankie Paul has finished filming her season of The Bachelorette — and she can’t wait for fans to see it.
“And that’s a wrap,” Taylor, 31, revealed via Instagram on Saturday, December 20. “I never experienced anything like this.”
Bachelor Nation fans got some behind-the-scenes photos in Taylor’s post, including a sneak preview of her promo shoot. There was even a hilarious shot of Taylor flipping the double middle finger during an interview session.
“Can’t wait to talk all about [The Bachelorette], share it, show it,” the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast member teased. “Such a passion for what goes into something like this. Feeling so grateful to be part of the bachelor nation family and crew. I left the most ‘me’ picture [her flipping the middle finger] for last. This will be worth the wait, stay tuned coming in March.”
Taylor was unveiled as a surprise pick as the Bachelorette for season 22 in September despite never having appeared on the franchise before.
“The 31-year-old Utah native is ready to trade headline-making heartbreak for hometown dates as she begins making her mark on Bachelor Nation,” ABC announced in a press release. “[Taylor] is the breakout star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, captivating millions with her raw, unapologetic storytelling. Off-screen, she’s a TikTok powerhouse whose comedic, heartwarming and bitingly honest content has earned her a massive following. As a single mother of three, [Taylor] shares the highs and lows of her life with unfiltered candor. With humor, resilience and a fearless openness, she inspires others to embrace life’s chaos and own their story.”
Taylor has brought her fans along with sneak previews all throughout filming, including a look at one of her dramatic rose ceremonies. Earlier this month, Taylor told fans that she’d had “one of the BEST nights of my life” while filming The Bachelorette.
“Can’t wait to talk about [it] in like six months LMAFO,” she joked via Instagram.

The reality star has received some advice throughout production of The Bachelorette. In October, Taylor’s mom, Liann May, warned that she will be “so pissed” if her daughter has sex with multiple men during the Fantasy Suites phase.
“I will be so mad,” Liann declared on iHeartRadio’s “Almost Famous” podcast. “I mean, she doesn’t really care what I think but she does, but she doesn’t. It’s just weird.”
Liann said she disagreed with her daughter’s comparison to test-driving a car before buying it.
“I hate that saying,” Liann complained. “And it’s like, I didn’t have sex with my husband until I got married and I already had her, right? I tried it that way first and then obviously I married and I’ve been married for 29 years so that is so not true. Our relationship is a great relationship.”
Former Bachelor star Hannah Ann Sluss also offered Taylor some words of wisdom while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly in December.
“I would just say, enjoy it, because I feel like she’s really going to take off and have so many fun opportunities,” Sluss, 29, told Us. “I cannot wait to watch her on TV. I haven’t watched the show in a few years, but seeing her, I’m such a fan of her.”
Sluss continued, “I love how authentic she is, and I think she’s really going to bring in the views. So I would just say, enjoy it, because I know she’s going to do such a great job, and have so many people support her.”
The Bachelorette premieres on Sunday, March 22, 2026, on ABC and can be streamed on Hulu. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is available to stream anytime on Hulu.
