Although Phil and Taylor both went to the University of South Carolina at the same time and were often unknowingly in the same place, they met through their best friends, Micah and Taylor "TayCal" Benveniste , in Atlanta, GA. Phil and Taylor both moved to Atlanta separately for work after graduating and found themselves in the same friend group through already established friendships and newly strengthened ones. One rowdy night, Micah and TayCal set up a fun night out for the group to go to the infamous Darkhorse bar in Atlanta to do some Live Band Karaoke (something that soon became a favorite hobby of Phil and Taylor) and to also try to set Phil and Taylor up. Micah and TayCal worked their magic, as did Phil, and after a beautiful rendition of Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA", sang by Phil and Taylor together on stage, the two hit it off. It's been a little over 7 years since that night and Phil and Taylor could not be more grateful for friends willing to risk some awkwardness in hopes of matching two of their best friends together. Cheers to setting friends up, live basement karaoke, and Miley Cyrus!
