The Bachelor Presents: Listen To Your Heart

The next chapter in Bachelor Franchise history begins with the arrival of 20 hot, single musicians – 12 men and eight women – from across the country looking for love and musical chemistry. Who will find their musical soul mate and a lasting partnership? And who will leave as a solo act?

Jamie, torn between two men, casts her romantic fate with Trevor. The two go on their first date, busking in Venice, California. Will they survive the arrival of Natascha, a beautiful blonde who is prepared to drop a bombshell on the happy couple and threaten their potential happiness? Bri and Chris spend a music lover’s dream date alone together in Hollywood’s famed Guitar Center but must hurdle some trust issues first. A make-or-break date with the lovesick Sheridan and his conflicted partner Julia finds them singing a duet in the studios of iHeartRadio. Back at the ranch, Mariana and Ruby, two new hot arrivals add their names to the growing list of Brandon’s admirers, but who gets the chance to take him on a date? The 11 unattached women pull out all the stops to make a connection and get a rose from the eight available men.

It’s show time! As the couples prepare to perform in front of a live audience and a panel of superstar judges, they first must endure the toughest test of their relationships yet. It is time to face the music about who wants to pursue a real connection. If a couple cannot see their future together, they must say their goodbyes before the competition begins. Now, receiving a rose no longer just means having a romantic connection, it’s also about having talent and a strong connection onstage when performing as a couple. Bachelor Nation favorites JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers, along with pop icon Kesha and two-time GRAMMY® Award winner Jason Mraz will judge the duos’ musical talent and their chemistry in their performances. Who will be inspired by the moment and who will freeze? Moving performances and heartbreaking departures highlight this game-changing week.

The six remaining couples – Natascha and Ryan, Julia and Sheridan, Bri and Chris, Rudi and Matt, Jamie and Trevor, and Savannah and Brandon – survived the first round of musical performances, but another shocking surprise awaits them. They will be switching partners and going on dates with someone in another couple in order to really test their relationships and their all-important chemistry. Will the dates affirm the feelings they have with their current partners or will they decide to change their mate? The drama reaches epic proportions before the couples prepare to hit the stage again with celebrity judges – Bachelor married royalty, Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo, bestselling recording artist Andy Grammer and GRAMMY® Award winner Toni Braxton – ready to weigh in on their musical talent and the chemistry expressed in their performances.

It’s time to hit the road! After a tough round of judging and tearful goodbyes, the final four couples – Bri and Chris, Jamie and Trevor, Rudi and Matt, and Natascha and Ryan – take their relationships and performing talents to Las Vegas, traveling by luxury tour buses. Chris and Bri serenade a happy couple at their wedding. Jamie and Trevor use an empty arena as a backdrop to share their feelings for one another. Rudi and Matt are invited onstage by Reggae and dancehall icon Shaggy to sing backup on one of his hits. Natascha and Ryan let off steam by using heavy construction equipment to crush cars. The couples perform for this week’s panel of judges, including Arie and Lauren Luyendyk Jr., music power couple Ashlee Simpson-Ross and Evan Ross, and Train front man, Pat Monahan, who decide who will move on to the finals and have their romantic and musical dreams come true.

Music City – Nashville – is the backdrop for the stunning final competition to see which couple will capture the opportunity for musical fame and fortune and the love of a lifetime. Before Bri and Chris, Jamie and Trevor, and Rudi and Matt perform in front of their largest audience yet, they are surprised to discover they will go on fantasy suite dates to decide whether to take their relationship to the next level and if they can see a future together. How much will this change the dynamic between the partners? The couples prepare to wow the celebrity judges with their stage chemistry and musical talents and grab the brass ring. However, their growing anxieties compel this to be a true test of who can manage their feelings to deliver their best-ever performance and win the competition on the season finale.
