Taylor Frankie Paul isn’t laying low following the shocking cancellation of her season of “The Bachelorette.”

The reality star, 31, was photographed grinning in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, sporting an interesting choice of clothing. She wore a blue Nodpod sweatshirt reading, “Can’t Wait To Sleep With You.”

She paired the provocative shirt with an oversized pink T-shirt underneath and baggy, wide-legged pants.

Paul wore her brunette hair down in messy waves and sported sunglasses.

Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” was scheduled to premiere Sunday, but was scrapped after horrifying 2023 video of Paul attacking her ex Dakota Mortensen with a chair — while her then 5-year-old daughter, Indy, was nearby and crying — was released by TMZ.

After ABC swiftly canceled the entire season, a spokesperson for the mother of three exclusively told Page Six, “Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.”

Mortensen, who shares a 2-year-old son, Ever, with Paul, denied her allegations.

“I am, unfortunately, used to these baseless claims about me and our relationship, which I categorically deny,” he told Page Six in a statement. “I am focusing on our son and his safety, and hope that Taylor will do the same.”

Paul lost temporary custody of Ever after Mortensen, 32, filed for an order of protection against her last Thursday.

A source close to the situation claimed to Page Six that Paul had been living in fear for years about if and when the damning 2023 footage, which was taken on Mortensen’s cellphone, would be released.

Meanwhile, insiders told Page Six that the scrapped “Bachelorette” season is going to cost ABC tens of millions.

“It’s ridculous,” an insider told us.

“It could be $50 million [or more]. Someone’s gotta get fired from this. It’s ridiculous,” an insider told us.

Five contestants from Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” are also considering bringing a lawsuit against ABC and Warner Bros. Discovery, TMZ reported.

Insiders told the outlet that the five contestants feel that Warner Bros. Discovery, which produced the season, built an unsafe working environment by allowing Paul to be in intimate settings with them given her past history.
