Via YouTube, The Bachelorette promo for the season 18 premiere begins with Michelle in casual attire. She dribbles a basketball and speaks directly to the audience with a wide smile.

“I’m Michelle, and I’m your new bachelorette,” she says.

The preview jumps to the first night of Michelle’s Bachelorette journey. Then the next lead waits for her first limo in a gorgeous gown as co-hosts Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams give her a pep talk. 

“Your whole life is about to change,” Kaitlyn tells Michelle.

Later, Tayshia adds, “Those 30 men are all here for you!”

Meanwhile, a few members of Michelle’s Bachelorette cast walk out of their limos and make their introductions. Two dreamy contestants go right into a kiss. There are also a few gimmicks, including one man riding in on a toy firetruck. One man even cracks a joke and tells Michelle she has him “by the balls” while holding two basketballs. There’s also a glimpse of rumored Bachelor Season 26 star, Clayton Echard, and he makes a reference to Michelle’s teaching career.

“I used to be a student,” Clayton says.

Michelle also gives Bachelorette fans a taste of what to expect. 

“I’m not gonna settle,” Michelle says.
