This is the American dream!
Taylor Phillips may be known as a very recognizable gay influencer, but the model admits that his current reality didn't just happen overnight. Before social media really took off with major platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, the star would built an incognito account on Tumblr to manifest his dream life.
"I'm from a small, conservative town in southern Indiana. Growing up, I thought the best thing I could do was work at the bank. I started online in 2009 and I was an OG Tumblr kid! That's really where it started. I've been a kid of the internet for many years. I was manifesting this aesthetic and now I'm living it," Phillips tells Out.
Once Phillips graduated college and took a leap of faith by moving to New York City as an aspiring model, the creator picked up a camera and started documenting his life on YouTube. Once he went viral for releasing his coming out video in 2019, the star surrounded himself with his queer peers and started living life on his own terms.
Now, Phillips is married to his better half and fellow influencer Jeff O'Donnell as they travel the world, launch new businesses, and create new digital opportunities for upcoming gay influencers.
