The Bachelor star Matt James has addressed the fact he was recently caught listening to a Season 25 bachelorette's Spotify playlist, which has led many viewers to believe Matt must have picked her as his winner at the season's final Rose Ceremony.

Given Matt's Spotify activity may be an indication Rachael was his winner and the 24-year-old bachelorette just emerged as a frontrunner on Monday night's episode of The Bachelor, Entertainment Tonight put Matt on the spot during an interview this week.
"Some eagle-eyed fans have noticed that you seem to be listening to Rachael's Spotify playlist. What does this mean? Are you and Rachael together right now?" ET's Lauren Zima playfully asked Matt with eager, wide eyes.

Although The Bachelor viewers may be hoping for a spoiler, Matt refused to give anything away about the ending of his season.
"There's a lot of music that I've taken from a bunch of women on the show. I've listened to [Kit Keenan]'s playlist, I've listened to [Michelle Young]'s playlist," Matt responded.
Matt enjoyed one-on-one dates with both Kit and Michelle on The Bachelor and seemed smitten with them as well.
"I think that people are very eager to find any tea," Matt acknowledged, "and you know, lucky for me, I had a very good group of women and I've taken a lot of what I've learned from them and applied it to my life."
Matt even pointed out the shirt he was wearing for his video interview was inspired by Kit's fashion given she's the daughter of fashion designer Cynthia Rowley.

"A lot of the things I'm doing going forward were taken from my time with these women," Matt concluded.
When Matt was caught checking out Rachael's Spotify playlist, many people assumed the 29-year-old had forgotten that his activity on the site is public.
Rachael's playlist, titled "Night Drive," has a whopping 77 songs on it.
Artists or groups represented on Rachael's playlist include The Mary Onettes, The Chainsmokers, The Districts, Flume featuring Beck, The Weeknd, Daft Punk and Joji.

If Matt really did spoil the outcome of his The Bachelor season through his musical tastes, it wouldn't be the first time a show's lead has accidentally spilled the beans prematurely.
The Bachelor's Season 23 star Colton Underwood had made public Venmo transactions that showed he was hanging out and exchanging cash with members of winner Cassie Randolph's family in 2019.
And The Bachelorette's Season 11 star Kaitlyn Bristowe memorably posted a public Snapchat photo that showed her snuggling in bed with her season's winner, Shawn Booth, several weeks before the finale aired on ABC.
