Your code is correct, but not what the challenge asked for. The challenge question only asked you to assign the formatted string to a variable, not print it out. All you need is this:

name =  "curtis"
subject = "Treehouse loves {} ".format(name)

I am not sure if mine is just bugged out or what, but i have also tried that. I had to completely exit out and re-do the task to get it to work. Thank you!
