Grant really wanted to find his future wife and mother of his children, so he was ecstatic when he was asked to be the star of The Bachelor season 29. He began his journey with 25 women, all of whom were hoping to get engaged to him in the end. However, it's possible that Grant won't find love during his season because his focus might be on breaking into the music industry, rather than finding true love.
Grant Ellis Released A Single Ahead Of The Bachelor Season 29 Premiere
Grant Used The Bachelor Premiere To Bring Attention To His Music
Before The Bachelor season 29 premiered, Grant released a new song on Spotify called, "Party Girl," which he also wrote. The song combines rap and electronic music, and features Grant rapping and singing. The song "Party Girl" is about a girl who loves to party, and how it affects her boyfriend.
For his Spotify profile picture, Grant used an image of himself emerging from the limousine on his Bachelor season 29 premiere night, proving that he's capitalizing on his current popularity from the show. He could've released the song at any point, but the fact that he chose to do it right before his season premiered raises concerns that he only became the Bachelor to further his music career.
Grant Has Been Singing On The Bachelor Season 29
Grant Also Sang On Jenn Tran's Bachelorette Season
Grant is a talented songwriter, singer, beatboxer, and rapper, as evidenced by the original song that he sang to Jenn on her premiere night, which he began by beatboxing (shared via the Bachelorette Instagram page). On his first Bachelor season 29 one-on-one date, he also sang an original song to Alexe Godin, and he played the piano. He impressed Alexe when he told her that he'd made up the song on the spot. In addition, the second Bachelor season 29 group date was music-themed, and required the women to write and sing an R&B song. Before the women performed, Grant took the stage and sang and danced for them. Singer Mario was there to witness it all, which made the date feel more like an audition for Grant's music career than a sincere way for him to find his future wife.
Grant Doesn't Seem Serious About Finding A Wife
Grant Has Been Making Questionable Choices
In addition, Grant's public displays of affection with Chloie Costello on the basketball group date and Carolina Sofia during the R&B singing group date were disrespectful to the women who were watching, especially his makeout session with Carolina on the stage (shared via the Bachelor Nation YouTube channel). He even seemed to insult her when he said that he didn't feel guilty about the kiss because they were "just having fun." Grant's choice of words was very revealing because he didn't say that they had a deep connection or that he could see her as his future wife.
Grant appears to be caught up in moments and not thinking about how his actions will affect others. He doesn't seem like someone who's serious about finding his future wife. The preview for the season showed Grant having trouble choosing between his final two women before the last rose ceremony. This might be because he wasn't focused on getting engaged, but rather he wanted to get publicity for his future music career.
Although Grant is currently a successful day trader, it wasn't his first choice for a career. He originally played professional basketball overseas, but an injury ended that dream. After that, Grant entered the finance field. However, perhaps Grant's new dream is to break into the music industry. It would be disappointing to find out that Grant had ulterior motives, and he was only using his Bachelor season to fulfill his dream of becoming a music star. Hopefully, the speculation is wrong, and Grant was the Bachelor for the right reasons.
