If you’ve ever fallen into one of those TikTok dance-videos rabbit holes – and who among us hasn’t had a weak moment when that’s happened? – you’ve probably encountered Paige Taylor.
In many ways, Taylor was born for TikTok, and that platform was created for her. Her journey to become a TikTok celeb is mostly typical, but it does feature some twists and turns that make her at least slightly interesting, so let’s explore.
Early Days
Growing up in LA, the now 20-year old loved to dance, to the point where she participated in several dance groups as well as some dance competitions.
Taylor was also precocious when it came to academics. She attended a private high school to attain a graduate degree, but she quickly realized that her combination of stunning looks, sexy lip synching and hot dance moves was absolutely made for our current social media environment.
Stardom Beckons
The event that helped catapult Taylor to celebrity status was the 2019 VidCon event in Anaheim. She’d already been dancing at the Playground dance studio in LA, and that visibility made it abundantly clear she was a star on the rise.
Taylor’s dance act isn’t exactly original, but it’s hard to argue with success. She dances and lip syncs to songs by the likes of Maroon 5, Ariana Grande, Cardy B. and Justin Bieber, and she currently has over 2.5 million followers.
Branding, Visual Appeal and Net Worth
Taylor understands full well that she’s playing a visual game, and a quick search on her name will reveal hundreds, if not thousands of photos on her TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.
It’s unclear what she has to offer beyond looks and great photos, but Taylor is estimated to have a net worth of $800,000, which is at least somewhat impressive for someone who’s technically still in her teens.
She also knows that she’s playing a brand game. It’s more than a little obvious in her photos, which feature swimwear, lingerie, travel wear, makeup and so on. Taylor has been featured by Sports Illustrated, which still represents a solid ticket to a high-end modeling career.
Dating Life and Future Prospects
Taylor’s dating life has been on the quiet side, at least on social media. She’s been featured in photos with fellow TikToker Jaren Michael, but they remain unconfirmed as a romantic item.
Future wise, look for more mysterious rumors to surface on social media now that she’s popular, but it remains to be seen whether Taylor will be a player or have a steady beau.
Will her modeling career take off? Taylor has certainly set the stage for that to happen, but the winnowing-out process that happens with stunning young TikTok dancers can be brutal as they grow up and get into their twenties.
The next sign of success would be signing on with a modeling agency some time soon, and she’ll doubtless start doing a more serious version of the branding dance if she’d able to make that leap.
