As the new season of “The Bachelor” unfolds on the 2025 TV lineup, fans are still processing the unexpected split between Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell – one of the franchise’s most enduring couples. Kirkconnell has shared what’s been helping her cope during the last three weeks, and it appears she’s found solace in a well-chosen Taylor Swift playlist to help her navigate through the end of her four-year relationship.
In the process of moving on after a breakup (as described by Taylor Swift), one must first navigate through “loving someone who doesn’t love you back” and “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” before reaching the stage where you no longer recall their existence, which seems to be Rachael Kirkconnell’s current situation. Her recent interview with Cosmopolitan reveals what has been aiding her post-breakup.
Absolutely, The Tormented Poets Division [chuckles]. Right now, anything by Taylor is fantastic for me. Recently, I’ve been quite fond of Doechii’s music. As for podcasts, I haven’t been tuning in much, but recently, I’ve become utterly captivated by someone – Keke Palmer. With her latest film [One of Them Days] just released, she’s been dominating my attention. Everything she does or says leaves me spellbound. She manages to transform my mood from feeling blah to ready to conquer the world.
In my opinion, she’s got three great options. With encouragement from the women of Bachelor Nation behind her, Rachael Kirkconnell is drawing strength from prominent female celebrities and immersing herself in the poignant songs of The Tortured Poets Department.
The victor from Season 25 of “The Bachelor” doesn’t identify as an avid fan of Taylor Swift, always abreast of her new endeavors, but acknowledges that the artist has been a consistent companion during difficult times related to heartache. Rachael Kirkconnell expressed:
> “I may not be a die-hard Taylor Swift fan, keeping tabs on every upcoming project she has, but I can’t deny that her music is there for me when I face heartbreak.
To clarify, I’m currently 28 years old, which means I was approximately 10 when her debut album was released. However, I don’t actively seek out hidden references or Easter eggs in her work, although I appreciate their existence. What really resonates with me is the music itself. And as a fellow woman, I admire and respect her for her accomplishments. She has been a constant companion to me during various stages of my life, from age 12 to the present day, providing comfort and solace during breakups at those times. As such, it’s hard not to be a fan when she has stood by me through all of that.
As a fan, I find it fascinating how closely The Bachelor franchise seems intertwined with Taylor Swift, but it’s no surprise that Rachael Kirkconnell isn’t the first contestant to channel the spirit of the Tortured Poet Department’s leader. Over time, we’ve seen many connections between Taylor and the world of The Bachelor, and Rachael is just another example of this intriguing link: the Bachelor Nation has a rich history with the Eras Tour artist.
- Christina Mandrell, who appeared on Zach Shallcross’ season of The Bachelor and is now married to the dangle earring-wearing Brayden Bowers, was in Taylor Swift’s “Fifteen” music video.
- Former Bachelorette Katie Thurston hard-launched a new relationship through a “12 days of messy” series on social media, where she dedicated a Taylor Swift song to a different ex each day.
- Jenn Tran dropped hints about the end of her season by pairing a TS song with each new episode of The Bachelorette.
- Ex-Bachelor contestant Amanda Stanton was dragged recently for suggesting that Taylor Swift might be stealing her style.
It appears that Rachel Kirkconnell shares a common interest with many others regarding Taylor Swift music. Interestingly, Grant Ellis, who’s currently the most prominent contestant in The Bachelor, also seems to be a fan of her music.
