Well, did you see this coming? Hannah Brown [1] is the new leading lady on The Bachelorette [2]! We have to learn all we can about the beauty queen as we gear up for season 15 [3] — hey, it's called research. The 24-year-old [4] certainly gives us a look into her life on her Instagram feed, but we know that's only a glimpse, and we're excited to get to know the real her as she searches for her happily ever after.

Hannah didn't have the smoothest journey on The Bachelor [5]. Her feud with fellow beauty queen Caelynn Miller-Keyes stemmed from way before the show [6] and carried on to the mansion [7]. But Hannah and Caelynn have since put that behind them, and Hannah is ready to focus on love. "It didn't happen for me with my first time around, but I do believe that it can happen," she said part two of The Bachelor season finale, where she was announced as the next bachelorette.
