List of Taylor's blogs Videos with Taylor

Taylor, aka soccerstar, is a Revver user that posts replies to Bree. Fans immediately suspected that she was canon since she is about the right age, and her style is similar: for instance, she uses jump cuts, and fans observe that her room and Bree's look similarly styled. It was initially believed that she could be the new girl that Alex mentioned in The Perfect Beach.

Family Background

Taylor's mother is very similar to Bree's in that she is fanatical. However, while Bree's mom is devoted to her religion, Taylor's mom is overly enthusiastic about Taylor's soccer. Taylor's father is less ardent than her mother; at one point she mentions her father being embarrassed by her mother's fanaticism. This is also similar to Bree's father.

Taylor also has a very dark sister named Sarah, who made her first appearance in Crazy Emo Chick on May 1, 2007, and they appeared together in No Trespassing on May 2. Taylor and her sister Sarah live in Zavalla, Texas, a location that was first revealed on the computer in Lucy's apartment.

Adventures with BDJ

Bree first mentioned Taylor in A Solid Lead. In OUT OF THE BUNKER!!!, Bree said that she, Daniel, and Jonas were going to see Taylor to find out more about Julia Anderson, a possible candidate for the Ceremony. This was in response to Taylor's claims that Jules once played on Taylor's soccer league.

Bree, Daniel, and Jonas soon met up with Taylor and Sarah in late spring, in hopes of finding Julia and preventing her from doing the Ceremony. After kidnapping and losing Jules, however, Bree was taken by the Order. Since then, Taylor and Sarah (though not present when Bree surrendered), have been helping Daniel and Jonas.

While her sister soon went to join Daniel and Jonas in California after graduating, Taylor remained at home in Zavalla, where she further witnessed her parents' mid-life crises. She continued to be an asset to the TAAG however, as she became a frequent poster at lonelygirl15.com, offering advice and trying to decipher clues.

Towards the end of June, Jonas (needing a bit of fresh air) came to stay with Taylor, where they both suffered the embarassment of witnessing Taylor's mother hit on him. Soon after, Taylor had an argument with her mother, which resulted in Taylor leaving with Jonas to spend the rest of the summer in California with Daniel and Sarah.

After Bree's death

After Bree's death, Taylor and Sarah originally return home, trying to lead a normal life again. They get visited by Spencer and keep vlogging to the others, but that's about it. Taylor starts taking an online programming class, and is determined to go to MIT, stressing that she can't wait to leave Zavalla for Boston. Whether that goal can be achieved is questionable, though, given that, in the same vlog, it is Taylor who finds the picture identifying Emma as the next ceremony girl, leading to her packing her stuff and telling Jonas to grab Emma and run.

Notes

• As Sarah currently does not have an active YouTube account, Taylor openly shares her account with her sister.

• Besides soccer, Taylor is very useful behind a computer, having been able to track down Julia's address through gas and phone bills online as well as hack into the County Medical Records as mentioned in Let's Play Doctor.

• Taylor has a missing video, supposedly titled Slide Tackle. Whether its canon or not remains unclear.

Etymology

Taylor can be either masculine or feminine. In either case, it is derived from the Middle English taillour meaning "cutter of cloth." It originated as the surname of one who was a tailor. [1]
