Chris Harrison tells Clare Crawley she has "blown up" The Bachelorette in a new teaser ABC has released for the show's upcoming sixteenth season.

ABC aired a new sneak peak of The Bachelorette's new season, which premieres Tuesday, October 13 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC, during Dancing with the Stars' Season 29 premiere episode Monday night on ABC.

The brief 30-second trailer shows clips of Clare all dolled up, dressed down, emotional, smitten and angry.

"Drama this soon is a little bit crazy," Clare complains at the beginning of the promo.

After Clare is shown meeting one of her nervous bachelors on Night 1, she tells someone, "I am so falling in love with you."

Footage then flashes to one bachelor, Jason Foster, complaining, "We caught you in a lie!"

Afterward, Clare yells at one of her bachelors, seemingly Yosef Aborady, to "get out of here" because he's "done" on her season of the show -- even though he claims he's not ready to go home yet.

In addition, scenes feature another suitor, Zach Jackson, crying and Clare kissing a blindfolded bachelor that appears to be Dale Moss.

The teaser ends with Clare sitting down for what appears to be a tense conversation with The Bachelorette host.

"Congratulations, you've just blown up The Bachelorette," Harrison tells Clare.

Clare began filming Season 16 of The Bachelorette at La Quinta Resort & Club in Palm Springs, CA, in mid-July.

It's been widely reported Clare fell in love with bachelor Dale, a 31-year-old model and former college basketball and football player from Brandon, SD, just 12 days into filming The Bachelorette's sixteenth season and quit the show as a result.

A source previously told Life & Style that Clare even "refused to come out of her room" at one point to film dates with other men.

Clare therefore allegedly ended The Bachelorette process early in order to pursue a serious relationship with Dale, and so producers were left scrambling in terms of how to proceed with the show.

Clare, who is now reportedly engaged to Dale, was ultimately replaced by The Bachelor alum Tayshia Adams, and both women's journeys to find love will air on The Bachelorette on Tuesday nights this fall.

Late last month, shortly after filming wrapped, Harrison teased on Instagram, "It's safe to say this season will be twice as good as any other!"

What remains to be seen is whether more men were brought to the resort to date Tayshia, giving her a full roster of The Bachelorette suitors, or if she only had Clare's remaining men to choose from.

Us Weekly previously reported the production team began tracking down some of the 42 potential suitors -- who were announced in July as a revised list of candidates from the original 32 men unveiled back in March -- to come back and film for Tayshia given they had already quarantined amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Clare and/or Tayshia's official and final set of bachelors who will star on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season will be confirmed at a later date.

The Bachelorette's new season was supposed to begin production in March and premiere on May 18, but global health restrictions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic had shut down nearly all Hollywood productions.
