Of all the engagements and breakups, the strongest relationship in Bachelor Nation might just be between the franchise alum and Stagecoach. The Southern California country music festival is often a gathering place for new couples and familiar faces, even playing a role in pre-season drama and potential connections.
In other words, fully understanding the living, breathing organism that is Bachelor Nation almost requires watching "Stagecoach." Luckily, you don’t need a ticket or a cowgirl hat to enjoy all the action. As festivities kicked off on April 26, Bachelor Nation's Stagecoach participants took to social media to capture every stylish moment and surprising reunion.
Joey and Kelsey on couple vacation
After getting engaged on The Bachelor , Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson announced plans to move to New York together, but their first priority is travel. Two weeks after competing in the Georgia Masters, they took a trip to Stagecoach with their sponsors. Tyler Cameron also joined in the festivities.
Since the entire holiday is essentially a Bachelor Nation house party, it's no surprise that Us Weekly spotted them at the Drip Lab IV station with Mariah George.
Maria relives a dramatic moment
In addition to reuniting with Joey and Kelsey, Mariah spent some quality time with cast member Rachel Nance, and the two even recreated Joey's hometown rose ceremony's "One Day I'll Tell You" line time.
Mariah also got to meet Lana Del Rey, which she described as "everything," noting that the singer is a fan of The Bachelor . (In fact, Del Rey has previously described it as her favorite TV show.)
Daisy celebrates her first stagecoach
Daisy's journey with Joey on The Bachelor began with a one-on-one music festival, but as the Season 28 runner-up pointed out on Instagram, she never made it to this particular event. "This was not my first rodeo, but my first stagecoach," she wrote.
So does Jason Tartick
Given Jason's beloved tenure at Bachelor Nation, it's hard to believe he hasn't been to Stagecoach before, but as he wrote on his Instagram Story, his first time won't be his last. Just over a week after People magazine confirmed their relationship, the Bachelorette was spotted attending a music festival with TikToker Kat Stickler, Us Weekly reports.
Rachel's '#Armgate' has fans talking
Stagecoach is a popular place to explore new relationships, and some fans think Rachel did just that in her April 27 post, which featured a tattooed arm wrapped around her. "About last night," she captioned the fun photo.
"Do I know?" Daisy commented, as Kelsey implored her Season 28 castmates to "tell me more."
Fans have also raised questions, but Rachel hasn't revealed anything official. In fact, she said after sharing the story that she would tag the mystery arm's identity, but joked that it belonged to actor Lea Cayanan. "Calm down everyone, that's my arm," Leah wrote in her post, which was captioned "#armgate."
Paradise Station Bachelor
Lea also posted a few Season 28 alums on TikTok, appropriately titled, " Bachelor in Paradise Station." "
She also seemed to confirm a long-simmering theory about the fate of the Beach spinoff. "We won't be seeing you this summer, so here's a silly TikTok," she said on Lauren Hollinger and Allison Hollinger, Maria, Kay Kelsey, Rachel, Jess Edwards, Sean McLaughlin and herself wrote in the post doing their own heavenly activities.
