The Bachelor<\/em><\/a> star Grant Ellis<\/strong><\/a> set the record straight regarding his music career after some fans accused him of appearing on the reality show for the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s possible to look for love and have interests. Maybe the timing wasn\u2019t the best, I thought Night 1 is like a party, it\u2019s just my vibe. I\u2019m somebody who just likes to have fun,\u201d Grant, 31, told \u201cBachelor Happy Hour<\/a>\u201d hosts Serena Pitt<\/strong> and\u00a0Joe Amabile<\/strong>\u00a0during his appearance on the Thursday, February 13, episode. \u201cI\u2019m creative, and that\u2019s just me. So, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m there for the wrong reasons. I think people throw that around so much, but I think you can have both\u2026I think music\u2019s something that\u2019s really fun \u2026 but no it\u2019s not a goal or intention of mine at all.\u201d<\/p>\n The Bachelorette<\/em> alum continued, \u201cI think that I\u2019m really happy with what I do for work. I do like karaoke and getting in the studio, making a song \u2026 but I\u2019m not pursuing a music career \u2026 you guys don\u2019t have to worry about me dropping any more singles.\u201d<\/p>\n Hours before Grant\u2019s season of The Bachelor<\/em> premiered on ABC on January 27, a TikTok user @sammysamslife shared a screenshot of his single \u201cParty Girls.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cGrant is being called out for all the wrong reasons just hours before his season premieres, and I\u2019m going to be honest, I was excited for Grant\u2019s season, but after seeing what he did, it really left a bad taste in my mouth,\u201d the content creator said in the video<\/a>. \u201cBachelor Nation is big on calling out people for being on the show for the wrong reasons, which basically translates to being on the show to become famous.\u201d<\/p>\n The TikToker added, \u201cAnd let\u2019s be honest, a lot of people who go on The Bachelor<\/em> and Bachelorette<\/em> are there for the wrong reasons, but usually you can\u2019t prove that. However, what Grant did, pretty much proved it.\u201d<\/p>\n Sammy also played part of Grant\u2019s song, which included the lyrics, \u201cNights like this don\u2019t come around too often\/She wanna party with the team, get it locked in\/Nights like this don\u2019t come around too often\/Party girls want the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n Viewers of The Bachelor<\/em> were split in the comments regarding whether or not they supported Grant\u2019s decision to drop the single before the premiere of his season, including a former Bachelorette star.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen ya\u2019ll give Dancing With the Stars the same energy let me know. Not a big deal,\u201d Nate Mitchell<\/strong>, who appeared in Gabby Windey<\/strong> and Rachel Recchia\u2019s<\/strong> season of The Bachelorette<\/em>, wrote.<\/p>\n Another person agreed and said, \u201cI\u2019m genuinely confused. Why do the lyrics prove he wants to be on the show for the wrong reasons? Someone please enlighten me.\u201d<\/p>\n Others felt like it was the wrong move.<\/p>\n \u201cThis explains so much. I\u2019ve been saying he was too young and hot to be on The Bachelor<\/em>,\u201d a separate TikTok user added.<\/p>\n A fourth person suggested that Grant could\u2019ve \u201cleft [the song] in the vault\u201d before adding a laughing face emoji.<\/p>\n Fans first met Grant during Jenn Tran\u2019s<\/strong> season of The Bachelorette<\/em>, but he was sent home before the finale. Now, he\u2019s on his own quest for love as the lead of season 29 and music has already been a huge part of his season. In episode 2, Grant performed an impromptu song<\/a> for contestant Alexe Godin<\/strong><\/a> during their one-on-one date.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
