"And that's a wrap. Never experienced anything like this. Can't wait to talk all about it, share it, show it," Taylor captioned her post.
"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 for last. This will be worth the wait, stay tuned coming in March."

The final photo showed Taylor sitting in a chair and flipping both of her middle fingers in the air.
The rest of the images featured Taylor goofing around with the production crew, posing by her rose podium in a gold, low-cut dress, and watching back footage of herself.
"Counting down the days," The Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer commented.
Taylor subsequently posted funny pictures of herself stretching on the floor in various locations.
"I was always trying to stay in sweats and had to stretch the stress out," Taylor joked.

And then more recently, Taylor uploaded a photo of herself in a sparkly dress and wrote, "Me reading all the assumptions of what happened and can't speak a word on it."
Taylor set her post to "Rock 'n' Roll {Part 2)" and captioned it, "Let's just say, I myself was shocked."
The Bachelorette's 22nd season is set to premiere on Sunday, March 22, 2026 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star decided to star on The Bachelorette after going through a divorce and difficult breakup in the public eye.

The mother of three children -- with "two baby daddies," as she likes to joke -- was married to Tate Paul.
Taylor and Tate got married in 2016 and welcomed two kids together: daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5.
Taylor had admitted to violating the rules of the couple's soft-swinging arrangement by becoming more intimate with another man in their friend group, which led to their separation and eventual divorce in May 2022.
Taylor then dated Dakota Mortensen for more than two years. She and Dakota welcomed a son, Ever True, in March 2024.
Taylor and Dakota appeared to split in late 2024, although Taylor didn't confirm their breakup until earlier this year.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered its new season in November, showed Dakota and Taylor contemplating a reconciliation, but allegations Dakota had sexted Taylor's family friend ruined any chance of that happening.
Taylor also accused a former friend of sleeping with Dakota in late October.
Before Taylor began filming The Bachelorette, she admitted to Entertainment Tonight that she wouldn't be shocked if Dakota unexpectedly showed up on her season of the show.
Taylor's mother Liann May claimed this past fall on "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast" that Taylor and Dakota still love each other and he'd probably sabotage her The Bachelorette season if given the chance.

When The Bachelor alum Ashley Iaconetti asked if Dakota planned to be around during filming, Liann replied, "I'm hoping not."
Liann went on to reveal, "I said that he will mess the whole thing up for her. He will sabotage her whole experience."
"And so, I'm just like, 'If you can just keep him away, for at least those weeks, there might be some hope of her focusing in on this whole process of dating,'" she added.
Liann admitted there was still a lot of love between Taylor and Dakota, which wouldn't help the situation.
"Oh yeah, she so loves him," Liann revealed, "and I believe that he truly loves her. [But] I can't talk about it."
Liann recalled Dakota being "really shocked" when he first discovered Taylor was going to be the Bachelorette.

"He's been like, 'Don't!' I think he doesn't want her to go on it. I know he's done videos saying otherwise, but I don't think he wants her to go on it," Liann said.
"Obviously he still loves her. I just don't feel like he loved her enough -- or at least, I mean he wouldn't have done the things that he did. So, I don't know."
Shortly after Taylor was officially announced as The Bachelorette star, Taylor admitted on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that she hooked up with Dakota after their breakup.
Taylor also admitted Dakota was going to find out about her The Bachelorette casting with the rest of the world because he was not high on her "priority" list.
"I don't know exactly how he'll react or feel," she said, "but he does know that we opened the gates of dating other people. [He'll] probably [be] sad... and that's probably going to be kind of hard to watch."
Several days later, Dakota expressed support for Taylor on social media.
"I am happy for Tay, and I hope she finds happiness," Dakota captioned a September 12 TikTok video.
However, Dakota has since thrown shade at Taylor's The Bachelorette role.
