A bachelorette is an unmarried woman, a term primarily used in American English. It is the feminine counterpart to "bachelor" and has been popularized through its use in entertainment, most notably as the title for the female lead on the reality television series "The Bachelorette."
The term is culturally notable for its association with the concept of a "bachelorette party," a celebration held for a woman shortly before her wedding. Furthermore, the long-running "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" television franchises have cemented the word in popular culture, making it synonymous with a specific format of reality dating shows.
Recently, the term has appeared in news headlines for several reasons. These include stories related to the filming and contestants of the current season of "The Bachelorette" television program.
In entertainment news, the term is also trending due to musician Hayley Williams naming her upcoming solo tour the "Bachelorette Party Tour," demonstrating the term's broader cultural reach beyond its original context.
