After giving Joey Graziadei a tour of her hometown of New Orleans on The Bachelor, Kelsey Anderson had a more relaxed time in Louisiana.

Kelsey, who is 28 years old, went to Wednesdays at the Square, a local concert series in New Orleans, with her friends on Wednesday, March 20. She looked stylish in lime green trousers, a cream sleeveless turtleneck sweater, and brown suede loafers. To complete her outfit, she draped a sweater over her shoulders, carried a black shoulder bag, and wore several pieces of gold jewelry.

Kelsey was spotted at an outdoor venue, seemingly heading there after her day as a project assistant. She was seen wearing what appeared to be a work ID on her belt loop.

The following day, she went to a fundraiser for HandsOn New Orleans, a nonprofit organization that supports volunteer programs in the city. On Thursday, March 21, she posted a photo on her Instagram Story, showing herself enjoying a glass of wine at a wine-tasting event.

Kelsey expressed her love for New Orleans once again in a recent Thursday Instagram Story. She shared a flyer for the city's upcoming Holi celebration and commented on the beauty of Indian culture. The event is set to take place in the quarter this Saturday, and attendees have the option to volunteer or simply enjoy the festivities.

During her Bachelor hometown date on March 4, fans were given a peek into Kelsey's life in Louisiana. She and Joey explored the city by bike, indulged in beignets, and then introduced him to her family - her dad Mark, brother Matthew, and sister Taylor. Sadly, Kelsey's mother Denise passed away from breast cancer in 2018. It's worth noting that her siblings Pascal and Jordan were not present during the hometown date.

Kelsey, who grew up on a U.S. military base in Germany before moving to New Orleans, was the only one of Joey’s final four who did not admit she was falling for him during the episode. However, their date went smoothly and Joey impressed Kelsey’s dad.

Mark expressed his happiness in a confessional, saying, “I feel very, very happy. It was wonderful to see Kelsey and Joey together and the connection they have. I know there are still other women, but I believe Joey will take care of Kelsey. I hope she comes home engaged.”

During their fantasy suite date in Mexico, Kelsey finally said the L-word to Joey, who also expressed his love for her. Joey shared with We magazine that they both realized their feelings were mutual. He explained that he had been holding back on saying it because he wanted his words to be meaningful.

However, Kelsey's conversation with Leslie Fhima, the runner-up on The Golden Bachelor, made her doubt her connection with Joey. She left him a note saying, "We need to talk," which caught him off guard.

Kelsey shared her emotions in a clip aired during the Women Tell All episode on Monday, March 18. She started by mentioning a pact she made with Joey to be open about their feelings. She expressed, "I just really wanted to verbalize that it’s hard not seeing you and the days in between are always so hard. All these feelings of, like, missing [you] and wondering. … I just want to tell you how much I miss you when you aren’t there."

Despite leaving Joey feeling "confused," he ultimately picked Kelsey and Daisy Kent as his final two contestants, sending Rachel Nance home.

The Bachelor season 28 finale airs on ABC Monday at 8 p.m. ET.
