On Sunday, “American Idol” finalist Cassandra Coleman shared an update with her followers.

“Thoughts going on in my head that mean nothing in the grand scheme of the world’s problems, but if you want an update on my brain activity: The pressure to create after leaving the show is quite intense.”

The 24-year-old continued, “I mean, you all are here before I’ve even released my first single! Such an honor and a blessing.. and I am stressed !!!! Some of the thoughts that bounce around in my head: “What if they don’t like the music I’m making?? What if I’m not the kind of artist they expected me to be? What if they get tired of waiting for original content??”

On her website, Coleman revealed that she lives in the “quaint, little town” of Columbia, which is just outside of Nashville.

She writes that for her day job, she works as the manager of a coffee shop.

“Growing up we moved around a lot. With my father in the military, we became pros at boxing up our lives and renovating fixer-up-ers every couple of years. I was painting baseboards and kitchen cabinets myself by seven years old. Throughout it all my mother homeschooled my four siblings and I. An elementary teacher with a passion for singing and songwriting herself, Mom always had music floating through the house.”

One Bachelor Nation fan saw “Men Tell All” episode of “The Bachelorette” as the perfect opportunity to shoot her shot.

Sitting in the first live audience since the pandemic, a woman identified by Reality Steve as Tara Kelly interrupted Connor Brennan’s time in the hot seat. Katie Thurston famously sent the math teacher home over a kiss on their one-on-one date.

“Tayshia, Kaitlyn, I’m so sorry to interrupt,” she said, addressing hosts Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe. “I just want to say, Connor that I watched you on the show and I just think you’re absolutely adorable and I know you can’t be a bad kisser.”

After someone yelled, “let’s find out,” Kelly joined Brennan on stage where he told her, “I was literally checking you out earlier.” While the stunned audience watched the pair’s passionate kiss, Andrew Spencer cheered, “Get in there tiger, you’re a tiger.”

Asked by the hosts to rate the kiss on a scale of one to 10, Kelly exclaimed “11” while fanning herself.

Before the episode cut to commercial break, Brennan asked Kelly if she would “accept this rose,” as Bristowe asserted, “I can’t, this is just like one of the most romantic dates in ‘Bachelorette‘ history.”

While the Nashville resident asked for Kelly’s number, fans should not get their hopes up since he has been officially announced as a contestant on the upcoming season of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
