What Makes Taylor So Special

The reason why Taylor is popular amongst people is his friendly nature and the ability to connect with his fans. Whenever he participates in or organizes any event, he greets his fans and visitors warmly, even if he has to stay behind for a few more hours. He occasionally creates special events to connect with his fans like the ‘RV Project’ in 2015, where he met his friends and clicked selfies with them for $20. Nonetheless, what makes him really different from others is his candid approach towards public and the way he never hesitates to answer any question. In a Q&A round with his fans, he said he would rather be deaf than blind.

Beyond Fame

Just like other celebrities, even Taylor is a victim to controversies and rumors. Couple of months back, a shady video including Taylor ‘half-heartedly’ hugging an anonymous fan went viral. The said person told media that she paid $160 for the meet-up, but further investigations revealed that the voice-over was heavily edited and we cannot say for sure that it was Caniff in that video. A similar controversy arose in April, 2014, when a tweet stating that Taylor spent a night in jail was made from a random Twitter id. The said person tweeted he was arrested as he turned down the passes made by an officer in charge, who wanted to see him undress. When criminal registry was searched for truth, it was found that a common man sharing the same name and birthday with Taylor was arrested in Tennessee.

Nevertheless, we cannot consider the registry as a viable source as the concerned person was no longer in custody at the time the rumors started on the internet.

Behind The Curtains

Like any normal person, Taylor is vulnerable to fears and anxiety. He openly talks about his fear for needles and snakes in his YouTube videos. Once he even cancelled one of his events for the fear of taking vaccinations for the trip. Not only this, Caniff is also afraid of boarding planes and performing on stage. He often experiences panic attacks while performing live. Taylor Michael Caniff dated Instagram star Carolina Samani in 2019.

Trivia

Taylor is not only a successful social media personality, but a clever entrepreneur too. He uses Twitter to promote the website showcasing merchandise (clothing, phone cases and accessories) under his name.

His life’s most embarrassing moment was in front of the audience when he accidently slipped over water that he had spilt on stage during his performance.

He is among those young and successful people who buy property at a very young age. A 19-year old Taylor bought his first house in Las Vegas, in the year 2015.
