LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ABC just released the first promo for 'The Bachelorette' Season 21 featuring Jenn Tran. The first promo for the upcoming season of the popular dating show introduces viewers to Jenn Tran, who is seen confidently strutting in a red minidress in front of the camera.
Tran flips a heart-shaped coin and places it into a claw machine, which transports her inside when she presses a 'Fall in Love' button. Surrounded by stuffed toy versions of her potential suitors and red roses, Tran chooses a rose instead of a doll of a man.
Then, a message on the screen reads, "The power is in her hands."
