Bella Hadid is ‘grateful’ to have been a part of the Yellowstone universe.
Hadid, who made a brief appearance as Taylor Sheridan’s on-screen girlfriend on the episode Counting Coup, gushed about having the opportunity to appear in the iconic Western series.
The series finale for Yellowstone aired Sunday night, marking the end of the end of the critically acclaimed show following five seasons.
Bella, 28 shared several behind-the-scenes snaps featuring her on the Montana set.
She sat on the wooden fence and fixed her cowboy hat as she basked in the sunshine beside the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.
Bella fit the rancher part with a leather belt adorned with a buckle and fringe suede trousers.
The post included video of her smiling radiantly as she posed upon the railing with her hands upon her waist.
In her caption, Hadid professed her love for the show and said she would have been happy to even play a ‘fly on the wall.’
‘@yellowstone (prayer hands emoji) best crew, best cast, best horses, best brains. grateful to have been in the presence of and learn a lifetime’s worth of knowledge in a few days from the most brilliant of people!’ she captioned the post.
‘I could have been cast as a fly on the wall and would have been just filled with graтιтude to be on a set like this for the last season of a show I love so deeply!
‘thank you Kelly for being such an inspiring mentor for our few days together. helpful, beautiful, kind, talented and caring. she really IS that great and badᴀss, guys! thank you Taylor for everything, having faith in me and the opportunity. not a better group (prayer hands emoji) watch Yellowstone now on @paramountnetwork #YellowstoneTV.’
Bella appeared to be giving Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly a shout-out; the model appeared opposite Kelly in her cameo.
The episode found Beth Dutton (Reilly) travelling to Texas to oversee Travis Wheatley (Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan) selling the ranch’s horses, following last week’s episode that featured another shocking death.
Fans were quite surprised when Beth knocked on Travis’ door and found it being answered by his girlfriend Sadie, played by Hadid, who is aside from being a supermodel is also an accomplished equestrian.
Throughout the episode, both women comment on his arrogant, cocky demeanor, but Sadie encourages Beth to pay attention to the way Travis rides.

Beth, noting the unspoken connection, admits she understands the attraction.
While Hadid showcased her acting chops, she also had the chance to flaunt her horse-riding skills, adding a genuine touch to her role.
The casting choices sparked a flurry of reactions on X (formerly Twitter), with many users quick to poke fun at Sheridan for the unconventional casting move.
‘The first time in this episode Taylor Sheridan writes himself a scene where his character is a super cool dude who wins at strip poker against H๏τ ladies felt excessive,’ wrote one. ‘The second time it happens, you gotta wonder if he’s okay.’
‘Taylor Sheridan making Bella Hadid his girlfriend in “Yellowstone” is objectively hilarious,’ another X user remarked, as a third wrote: ‘If I were Taylor Sheridan, I too would cast myself as the shirtless savior in my flagship shows penultimate episode, but casting Bella Hadid as your girlfriend? lol’.
