On New Year’s Eve, Taylor went out with her friend Tiffany, to Empire, where they met up with some friends. The night was just beginning - Payton Pritchard was there, the music was loud, glasses were clinking, and Vodka Red Bulls were flowing. Somewhere in the mix of dancing and toasts, Taylor realized she made a rookie mistake: she hadn't brought a purse and was using her phone as a coaster. Trying to save her phone, she went up to someone and asked if she could wipe her phone on his shirt. They laughed and said, “No way, but you can use my friend Jordan’s!” Jordan, smiling, offered his sleeve without hesitation. That quick moment turned into a conversation that lasted well past midnight. Before the night ended, Taylor gave Jordan her number while boldly saying they should go on a date sometime and the rest is history.
