Thank you for opening up to us >:D< We feel you're getting closer and closer with us when it comes to personal life and thoughts. I'm 27 years old now and many people ask me when will I give birth to children, time is passing and so on. These things made me sad and scared of getting old. I also have so many other plans and should only listen to my heart not to what society tells me to do. Your video made me feel good, you are an inspiration.
Japomania I just turned 25 & get that a lot as well, it was tripping me up for so long, but I still have a lot more things to do, years to experience before I settle down!
Japomania I'm 27 as well and oh my gosh, when people ask me when I'm going to have kids I'm just like listen, I'm still a kid myself so I don't want any kids right now okay?!
So happy to find this comment thread! 💖 I'm only 24(feel like a teenager) but all my best friends are getting children- and my boyfriend is even babysick as well x3 It all gives me this awful death anxiety since I feel like a kid at this age while the world around me tells me I am really muuch much older, which in my busy brain translates into "You will not get to the finishline before dying so you could just as well quit the game already"(Want to restart from last lvl, but still haven't invented the time machine..!) :( I've had suicidal thoughts as far back as I can remember but now that I feel i've come too far behind in life i'm actually so terrified that this has to end some day- and mostly because death can be slow and painful. Not so much the fact that I won't.. be.. I (and my family) expected more of me than what I've become and it feels like there is just not enough time left to make up for all the wrong turns... :(
We have a problem though nowadays with not wanting to accept our adulthood. There is nothing wrong with being adult, and we certainly are no longer a kid. I get mourning our youth, but I think part of it is the unhealthy idolization of being a teen/ kid. (Which is much stronger in those of us who enjoy anime or certain young adult franchises that don't really focus on older characters.)
Why peps making it seem like 29 is 44 LOL. 29 is super young. She's not at the point where you say "wow you look good for your age" lol. 29 IS YOUNG!!!!!!!
I´m 26 and what you said warmed my heart. That´s exactly what i was always thinking....Omg I m already 23,24,25 now 26 no direction, no future husband and no standarts that everyone expecting from me. And you know i´m pretty happy about myself. Everything what have to come will come :) . So i m really happy about you embrace your age and your situation :) Thank you that you opening up to us and talked about this .... You know i thought i was alone ...:) Thank you and i wish you happy birthday (better later like never)
Happy Birthday Taylor! When you said "that's what she said!" I said it too at the exact same time! haha I turned 29 this year. It's usually the younger more naive people who believe that you suddenly stop being yourself and turn into a boring adult as soon as you hit 30. You are still the same person you were when you were younger only wiser and with a better head on your shoulders. You know/understand yourself more.
Happy birthday Taylor!!!! I remember, when I was still a child, I was telling myself that I would have children before I am 30..... And now I'm 27 and a very single pringle and tbh I don't really care, bc I still have so much time ahead of me :)
Oh, TayTay, you're just coming into your own. When I was 29, I was also living abroad (in Ecuador) relishing every new experience, trying all the things. Now I'm 61, I've loved, I've lost, I've traveled, I've come home. It doesn't stop, and you'll always feel like you're 29. When I was your age, there was no internet, but I feel like if there were, I would have been vlogging my incredible life, because it was so much fun! Happy Birthday, Little SiStar!
elena mation yeah her whole career she made it a point to not expose her age because she was trying to be that ageless Japanese doll but not people are getting on her about that and this is the first time she's exposed her age lol
I'm 23 now and everyone thinks I'm 17... but you my dear are the reason why I enjoy looking young.. 29 and you look like you could be 22 max! And that will carry on the older you get and you'll always look young and flawless 😊 Happy Birthday Tay!🎉
We're the same age.i turned 29 in November.i had the same expectations as you. Everyone else is getting married and having kids.I'm just over here starting a new college major.
You do you :) it's your life with your own wishes and dreams, your own speed and stuff. Everyone choses a different path, but as long as you are happy it's the right one. Don't worry what others do, even tho you feel odd, you are not. :) Hope you are doing well, I know your comment is kinda old so yeah.
Happy Birthday, 29 is still so young! I loved that you are growing so much as a YOUNG woman! You give me the courage to try new things and not be afraid to do them at my age. My Birthday is Dec 31 and I will be 52, please keep vlogging!. I wish I was half as ambitious as you! You live a great life.
Thank you so much for making this video. I turned 23 this year and honestly, I cried. I felt so much anxiety about getting older and needing to be successful and everything. Seeing this video really helped though, I mean I would have never guessed you were 29 and to see someone looking so radiant and happy doing their own thing is so helpful. Like you said, there isn't really one path that needs to be taken and it really resonates with me. Thank you for being so open about your life and feelings!!
Andrea.Isabel I know you're right and I try to tell myself that all the time but I think it takes practice to believe. So hopefully one day I can come to terms with aging!
@@Sam-yt8mu Haha omg what a throwback. It's actually so interesting that this is coming up now because I'm turning 29 in July and still struggle with these feelings every now and then. That said, I'm now living in Tokyo fully time working as a producer for an automotive company and honestly my 23 year old self would be so proud. I still feel a lot of those anxieties to do even more in my 30s, but I also love all the content that is out there from one of the coolest generations of 30 year olds and it reminds me that we can be whatever version of ourselves we want to be no matter our age.
I hope your transition from Japan and back to Hong Kong is going well. I'm not sure if I am the only one to feel this way, but ever since you found your way back to Hong Kong you seem different. I feel like you have gotten much more personal with us and your aura is just so wonderful anymore. We are also given a bit more insight into your relationship. You seem so happy together and im glad you found happiness in him. I hope your birthday was everything you wished it to be! I loved your outfit in this video too lol but yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR ❤️❤️
I've just turned 29 this year too and feel like life in my 20's have disappeared and i'm still terrified of turning 30 (was hoping for the marriage and kids too) but now i'm older I finally know who I am and I'm not ready for kids at all, You be you Taylor, loved this vid!!
I'm in the same boat, ill be 29 in a few months. I've been with my so for years, no hurry to get married or have kids. I want to live life, go on adventures and feel fulfilled with my life. Too many people don't mind their own business and put pressure on people to conform to what life 'should be'
This video meant so much to me. Age has been terrifying me since last year (25) like I teared up. Thank you Taylor, I honestly have felt so uplifted after watching this, it’s crazy... if I can be half as cool as you at 29, I’ll be blessed. I will never stop watching your channel. It’s good for my soul.(:
Hi : ) Thank you so much for your honest words! I felt kind of depressed about getting older (I am turning 27 next year), and be surrounded by younger people who have so many opportunities. So your words really cheered me up and encourage me to figure out what I really want to do in life, without thinking to much about what other people might think about it
By the way, I’m so inspired by this. I’m 21 and I feel pressure already that I’m getting older. I know that’s a big pressure at least here in the US with a focus on youth. So I’m always inspired to hear from women who are a bit older than me living their lives and being confident about age. I really appreciate this take 💕
Girl please!!!!!! The thirties are one of the best decades of your life! When you get past this year you will have a transitional moment and It can be awesome. I loved my thirties now in my forties and feeling so much more wiser.
I met my now husband when I was 29, now I'm 40 and we are still together we just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. I wish you the happiest of days and safe travels. "Life Is Not Measured By the Number of Breaths We Take, But By the Moments That Take Our Breath Away"
Girl, i turned 30 this august and i can really relate to your thoughts... 25-30 was kind of a weird phase for me, like an identity crisis, because i didn‘t want to get older either and still didn’t really know where to go or who i am yet and then... honestly my 30th birthday wasn’t that horrible XD when it happened i had the same ‚awakening‘: live your life as you please as long as you are happy... age doesn‘t matter... be yourself... you don’t have to live up to the expectations of others... by 30 i honestly know now who i am and i‘m glad and thankful for all my experiences a.s.o... i don‘t know if i‘m really wiser, but i also kind of found my place in life here on earth... i know (most of the time XD) much better what i want and what i don‘t want... and over all who i am... you are such a sweet person, keep up the good work on your channel... i follow you for 3 years now and i saw your growth within the last year and it makes me happy, that you finally found your style and place 🖤 enjoy the holidays in canada! 🖤✌🏻 greetings from austria! Xo Rina P.s: and belated „happy birthday“ 😊
Your little talk about aging really.... helped me out? Like I've been anxious about growing up as well and how I've been feeling pressured about what I should do and who I should be by my mid 20s... it feels reassuring that you're addressing these issues. Thank you so much for saying all those things.
New subscribers are shook hehehe I always knew that she was 28 when I subscribed to her back to 2015/2016 because I went to see some articles about her .... and yes the queen is 29 guys she build her career and channel after years and years + traveling around the world so of course she isn’t 19 etc .. and yes she looks so young 😭💕✨🌸 however I love you HBD tay ✨✨🙏🏼.
right people are so funny. XD But I guess its because the media always pushes that you are over the hill after 25. And that its all down hill from there, esp for woman. so lame. and not true.
I've been watching you for a long time, but this is the first time I've been inspired to comment. We're born in the same year (I turned 29 in August) and I went through the same thing as you. I'm not a model, but starting around 25 I started to feel this intense pressure that getting older necessitated change. I couldn't continue to have the same interests, I couldn't continue to dress in the fashion I liked, I couldn't have blue hair or read comics or collect figures. In retrospect, it seems so silly to ascribe that kind of ultimatum to an age, but I subconsciously harbored this belief that 30 was the death of who I am as a person. 30 was the point where I'd have to surrender my identity to fit the script of the person society says I should be according to my age. Of course, none of that is true at all. We will change--that is inevitable--but who we are at our core won't. And if anything, finally reaching the point where 30 is knocking at my door has given me the strength to say, "I don't care." If people think I dress young, that's their problem. If people think I shouldn't enjoy the media I do, well, I didn't ask for their input, anyway. I'm going to live my best life regardless of my age, and if anything, being older and providing for myself has finally given me the freedom to make that possible. I feared this time in my life for so long, but I can say with all honesty that I've never felt better and more confident in myself. I'm so glad to hear you've reached that place, too.
Thanks for the chat, Taylor! I'm 28 and still working out where I want to go but I've started doing a degree I'm actually super passionate about and trying (vvv hard) not to compare myself to others too much, or what is expected of me as I age. I'm going to take my time and enjoy it~☆
Taylor R Taylor R yay much appreciated 😊🎂 growing up still terrifies me lol...sometimes I wish I could be younger and doing what I now do. But you're right, in many ways my younger self would not have been as ready to take this on. I'm more focused and content with myself and WAyY better at organising and time management than I used to be! Thanks again for sharing your perspective 💟
HOW AM I ONLY REALIZING YOURE 29 NOW?!?????? I THOUGHT YOU WERE LIKE 22??? Now it makes sense why you can afford to move around so much. My entire life has been a lie lol I hope I look as good as you do when I’m 29. Even when you turn 30 you’ll still look like a teenager. Omg happy birthday 🎂💕
Happy Birthday Taylor! Thanks for the real talk, I think we all need to remember that our lives have value and infinite potential no matter what society thinks about our age. Love you so much
Happy Birthday Tay! Thanks for being vulnerable with us. I just turned 25 and have been insecure about the grey hairs I've been finding. I find solace in the fact that aging is truly an honor and a privilege. It's a beautiful part of life and it's a symbol of a life well lived! Have fun in Canada!
The talk at the end made me cry! Taylor you're so honest and I so needed to hear that I'm sure a lot of people too. Your cake was so beautiful and the candle omg😍 happy very late birthday
Wow I had no idea we're the same age! I turn 29 Monday and I'm excited! Can't wait to be out of my 20s!! They're too difficult and deep. 30 seems carefree and fun✌💕 happy birthday!!!
Liz Drake I'm 34 and from my experience the 30s are better than the 20s. Even I still don't know exactly what I would be, when I grow up, I'm ok with it. XD In my 20s I always blame myself for it.
My sister is 30 and we have a 16 year difference and I noticed that you, Taylor were getting very comfortable with yourself and I highly respect that and it's good that you think that age is a number ,so does my sister, (my sister isn't married but has a wonderful partner and she has one son that we all dearly love) so for you to talk about how you felt inspired alot of people to act freely and not care about age because we have one life anyways , love you Taylor
older = wiser! It makes so much more sense now! You’re so mature psychologically and can always give us great advices! I always felt like you’re a big sister to me! I’m 23 and sometimes feel lost in life, what’s my direction etc. but when I listen to you I feel a lot better!
Gurl, you must’ve discovered the fountain of youth because I’ve been assuming we’re the same age (24). Happy birthday, beautiful! You have such a radiant and lovable personality, don’t ever let a number inhibit you from chasing after your dreams! 💕
Taylor, I have never felt closer to you than after this video. As I heard you express your feelings on aging and past feelings all I could think of was me. I have legit cried over how I am growing older and how I miss my younger face and even the passions I had at my younger age. I am just a few months younger than you, as I turn 29 this next April. Honestly after watching this I felt inspired and encouraged. Someone I look up to has struggled with the same feelings but has found a way to move past that with a positive attitude. I agree too! Age really is a number and though our bodies do change, who we are and what we like doesn't have to. I also am struggling with hormonal acne and your videos on that have helped me out as well. I really appreciate you being open with us and sharing your struggles. I think you do more than you may know. Anywho.... I hope you had an amazing birthday and that your Christmas is warm and bright! God bless you Taytay and your family too! Love ya! - one of your viewers in California. :)
I'm turning 26 on December 27th. Your talk about age and your general mindset is pretty much the exact talk I have given myself daily since the beginning of the month. Turning 26 is the first time I've felt uneasy, but I know things will be okay. I'm continually more secure, in many ways, as each year progresses so while I'm nervous about getting older, I don't want to turn back the clock for any reason. Thanks for the pep talk. It was nice to hear these words from someone else rather than my internal mantra.
watching this on my 43rd birthday been an elder Taytortot for years and i love to go back and watch vlogs . I needed your 2 am birthday speech so bad today. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE DECEMBER VIDEOS I WATCH RE WATCH THEM EVERY YEAR LOVE U
Congratulations to your sister on her new baby boy! You always look beautiful Taylor but today your eyes have a special sparkle. I love Nobu, the food is amazing. Your boyfriend gave you a beautiful bracelet but the best present is being loved. Congrats Taylor! So leaving you alone for the day equals Christmas trees in your nose😂 Note to elbow San don’t leave Taylor alone for too long 🤪. Can I ask you what kind of cake you got? I want to order it as well. Btw Taylor you still look like you’re a teen. Wish you a safe flight💝
This is so funny because in my country (Colombia) we don't celebrate April fools but we celebrate "inocente day" (December 28th). It's basically the same but different name and different date.
Happy birthday Taylor! I don't usually comment on videos, but I'm going through a rough time right now, and your talk about age reminded me that it's ok to not "have it all together". I really needed that and I'm happy that you feel comfortable sharing those thoughts and feelings! Thank you for that!!
Girl I'm a year older to you, and you really made me feel good about turning 30 or about getting older. I'm not married and with no stable career I'm so much pressured by everyone about everything and I was technically forgetting my life. Thank you for the message.
Congrats! For me, turning 30 felt so liberating. I'm no model, though, so those were not thoughts I ever had to contend with. I simply find that being content with myself and my life gets so much easier with each passing year. I'll be 40 in January, and even though it's just a measure of time, I'm super excited. I hope you have an awesome finish to your 20's, but, I think you will find your 30's will be far more rewarding. Mental maturity is an amazing thing to experience. To life!
OMG Tay! I can totally relate with all what you talked about the age girl, like it's a lot of pressure to constantly think about it, specially when you're going through that stage of your life and thinking about all the things you're supposed to have or be doing according to society and realizing you're not there and you probably just don't want to be there yet. However, like you said, let's enjoy life as the way it is and live the moment doing what makes us happy, the only thing that really matters is how you feel inside and how you decide to spend your time in this world. 😄 Love ya! 💕
Happy birthday Taylor! I’m so happy you made this video. I’m turning 31 on January 3rd. It’s encouraging to hear these things said aloud. Best wishes! 💕💕💕
I turned 30 this year and have been feeling the same as you since I turned 25. Hated the feeling of growing up, of being "older"... But just like you, this year was the first time I was okay with turning a year older... Age is just a number, you said it right ;) Happy belated birthday!
I think we all feel the same at this age , I'm the same age as you but I was born in June so I understand your feeling in my birthday I decided that I'm going to follow my dream I will no longer put them on hold so I returned to school and start to take better care of my health and saved some money to accomplish my dreams Happy birthday to you and I wish for you a long healthy life
Am I the only one who knew she was turning 29? I guessed she was born on 88 because she has always used 88 in usernames and stuff. I always assumed it was because of her birth year, and I was right!
AWWWW I LOVED YOUR TALK AT THE END. What you said is so true and even in the entertainment industry that is supposedly "sooooo" obsessed with people being younger to find ultimate success, but when you look closely there's countless examples that prove the opposite and also the darker side where sometimes sadly the younger you are, the more you can be taken advantage of in that industry and don't get to do it on your terms. You are incredibly inspirational, I love your content and I'm glad you are doing exactly what you want to be doing! Happy Birthday and lots of love from a fellow Torontonian!
I also will be turning 29 in July and honestly turning 28 last year terrified me, I know I'm not alone but listening to your video helps out a lot thank you Taylor! I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday!
I hope i look that good when i’m 29.
Same omg
Everyone wants to be as youthful looking like taytay here :)
Me too.
+david zar yes. still young
Valeria Diaz i hope im still as weird as her at 29!
I'm 51 btw... and I still feel 21. Age is just a number. It's what's in your heart that matters. X
You are spot on about age!
I'm shook. You're 29. Wow. Happy Late Birthday!!!!

Jennifer A im 27 and i thought she was younger than me

Thank you for opening up to us >:D< We feel you're getting closer and closer with us when it comes to personal life and thoughts.

So happy to find this comment thread! 💖 I'm only 24(feel like a teenager) but all my best friends are getting children- and my boyfriend is even babysick as well x3 It all gives me this awful death anxiety since I feel like a kid at this age while the world around me tells me I am really muuch much older, which in my busy brain translates into "You will not get to the finishline before dying so you could just as well quit the game already"(Want to restart from last lvl, but still haven't invented the time machine..!) :(
I've had suicidal thoughts as far back as I can remember but now that I feel i've come too far behind in life i'm actually so terrified that this has to end some day- and mostly because death can be slow and painful. Not so much the fact that I won't.. be..
I (and my family) expected more of me than what I've become and it feels like there is just not enough time left to make up for all the wrong turns... :(

Luna Girl yeah, thats because they might be so young xd
She's not at the point where people normally get full-on wrinkles, but she definitely looks young for her age, in my opinion

Happy Birthday Taylor! When you said "that's what she said!" I said it too at the exact same time! haha I turned 29 this year. It's usually the younger more naive people who believe that you suddenly stop being yourself and turn into a boring adult as soon as you hit 30. You are still the same person you were when you were younger only wiser and with a better head on your shoulders. You know/understand yourself more.
Happy birthday Taylor!!!!
I remember, when I was still a child, I was telling myself that I would have children before I am 30..... And now I'm 27 and a very single pringle and tbh I don't really care, bc I still have so much time ahead of me :)
WHAT THE WHAT 29?! I'm just as shook as everybody else in the comments😅 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 💕💖
Oh, TayTay, you're just coming into your own. When I was 29, I was also living abroad (in Ecuador) relishing every new experience, trying all the things. Now I'm 61, I've loved, I've lost, I've traveled, I've come home. It doesn't stop, and you'll always feel like you're 29. When I was your age, there was no internet, but I feel like if there were, I would have been vlogging my incredible life, because it was so much fun! Happy Birthday, Little SiStar!
29?!?! I thought you were 19!!!
elena mation I thought too.😨🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂
Me too!!!
elena mation yeah her whole career she made it a point to not expose her age because she was trying to be that ageless Japanese doll but not people are getting on her about that and this is the first time she's exposed her age lol
elena mation me too..
A few months ago when I discovered this channel I searched for her age on Google and somewhere it said she was 16 when she dressed cute😂
I'm 23 now and everyone thinks I'm 17... but you my dear are the reason why I enjoy looking young.. 29 and you look like you could be 22 max! And that will carry on the older you get and you'll always look young and flawless 😊 Happy Birthday Tay!🎉
I'm 23 but look about 14 but I just laugh about it now :)
We're the same age.i turned 29 in November.i had the same expectations as you. Everyone else is getting married and having kids.I'm just over here starting a new college major.
dogables good for you! :D
29 as well, no kids, no husband and sitting here watching anime and disney movies .__. btw, I'm also starting a new college major as well :D
You do you :) it's your life with your own wishes and dreams, your own speed and stuff. Everyone choses a different path, but as long as you are happy it's the right one. Don't worry what others do, even tho you feel odd, you are not. :)
Hope you are doing well, I know your comment is kinda old so yeah.
Happy Birthday, 29 is still so young! I loved that you are growing so much as a YOUNG woman! You give me the courage to try new things and not be afraid to do them at my age. My Birthday is Dec 31 and I will be 52, please keep vlogging!. I wish I was half as ambitious as you! You live a great life.
omg had no idea you were 29. seriously thought you were early 20. We're both december babies though ^_^
Shady Pikachu sameee
Guys, people that are 29 are not grandmas with grey hair, wait till you are 29 and then remember what shit you were talking.
lauralanthalasa7 that's because 1- she still looks like a teenager 2- soo many people who's 29 look like in their 30's near 40's already.
uareri27 that's because they don't take care of themselves though lol
ODN4 or they want to look older for some reason...
Thank you so much for making this video. I turned 23 this year and honestly, I cried. I felt so much anxiety about getting older and needing to be successful and everything. Seeing this video really helped though, I mean I would have never guessed you were 29 and to see someone looking so radiant and happy doing their own thing is so helpful. Like you said, there isn't really one path that needs to be taken and it really resonates with me. Thank you for being so open about your life and feelings!!
Lily M hhaa i'm 34 and i don't care. Age is just a number.
Andrea.Isabel I know you're right and I try to tell myself that all the time but I think it takes practice to believe. So hopefully one day I can come to terms with aging!
Same here ! 23 yo :3 Be happy girl ! we live just once
23 is young now your what 28 now how did things go ?
@@Sam-yt8mu Haha omg what a throwback. It's actually so interesting that this is coming up now because I'm turning 29 in July and still struggle with these feelings every now and then. That said, I'm now living in Tokyo fully time working as a producer for an automotive company and honestly my 23 year old self would be so proud. I still feel a lot of those anxieties to do even more in my 30s, but I also love all the content that is out there from one of the coolest generations of 30 year olds and it reminds me that we can be whatever version of ourselves we want to be no matter our age.
Another year older and still you are as beautiful as ever! And way to go Elbow-San, such a romantic! And it slays me every time he's like "BABE!" XD
Elbow-san you romantic, keeping the standard high. Nicely done! Happy birthday Taylor! Relax gurl, at 29 you're still a young, vibrant woman.
I hope your transition from Japan and back to Hong Kong is going well. I'm not sure if I am the only one to feel this way, but ever since you found your way back to Hong Kong you seem different. I feel like you have gotten much more personal with us and your aura is just so wonderful anymore. We are also given a bit more insight into your relationship. You seem so happy together and im glad you found happiness in him. I hope your birthday was everything you wished it to be! I loved your outfit in this video too lol but yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR ❤️❤️
Love that the cake said Happy Birthday Babe!
Congrsts Taylor I some ties wish I was 29 again I'll be 60 next year in joy your birthday
I've just turned 29 this year too and feel like life in my 20's have disappeared and i'm still terrified of turning 30 (was hoping for the marriage and kids too) but now i'm older I finally know who I am and I'm not ready for kids at all, You be you Taylor, loved this vid!!
I’m 28 and I turn 29 in January. My feelings on age are the same as yours. You only live one life! Enjoy it. Happy belated birthday! Xxx
I turn 21 on the 8th of January
I turn 28 January 1st , i think im ready to be shoved in a nursing home now :(
WAIT I LEGIT THOUGHT U WERE 24-25
Same
I'm in the same boat, ill be 29 in a few months. I've been with my so for years, no hurry to get married or have kids. I want to live life, go on adventures and feel fulfilled with my life. Too many people don't mind their own business and put pressure on people to conform to what life 'should be'
Aww the cake looked amazing!! Well done one the gift, Elbowsan!! Happiest birthday beautiful Taytay!!🎉🙌🏻❤️
This video meant so much to me. Age has been terrifying me since last year (25) like I teared up. Thank you Taylor, I honestly have felt so uplifted after watching this, it’s crazy... if I can be half as cool as you at 29, I’ll be blessed.
I will never stop watching your channel. It’s good for my soul.(:
TAYLOR, YOU ARE FREAKING NOT 29! YOU LOOK SO YOUNG THAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE 25 UNTIL TODEI!!! CRAZY!!! BUT HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TAYTAY, WE LOVE YOU!!!
ShanTae Kim 😂 same here
SHE 29?! TF
Tacko ikr!?
I know. Not fair. I’m almost 28 and look ancient next to her 😭
I THOUGHT SHE WAS LIKE 24
Tacko • I KNOWWW. I was like, "29!? HOLY SHIT"
Tacko right!! I thought she was like 24 or something lol
Age is just a number. Im 43. I have a saying I go by everyday: Just be yourself and enjoy the things that make you happy.
Hi : )
Thank you so much for your honest words!
I felt kind of depressed about getting older (I am turning 27 next year), and be surrounded by younger people who have so many opportunities.
So your words really cheered me up and encourage me to figure out what I really want to do in life, without thinking to much about what other people might think about it
By the way, I’m so inspired by this. I’m 21 and I feel pressure already that I’m getting older. I know that’s a big pressure at least here in the US with a focus on youth. So I’m always inspired to hear from women who are a bit older than me living their lives and being confident about age. I really appreciate this take 💕
Omg taylor, you must be kidding me.. I thought you were only 24 or something
You must be new?😂
Aria Ozukum I honestly thought she was like 19-23 lmao
I've been watching her starting from 2017 and I legit thought she was way younger ..no kidding, she must be a vampire. 😂😂
I've been watching her for 3 years, and thought she was around 25~ and around 22 when i first started watching her.
Girl please!!!!!! The thirties are one of the best decades of your life! When you get past this year you will have a transitional moment and It can be awesome. I loved my thirties now in my forties and feeling so much more wiser.
Jennifer lies
girl im turning 35. Time flies. A tip for staying young is to think young. Screw ageist rules. Also, as a fellow Canadian, we don't age.
I want to look that young and fabulous too when I'm 29!
I turned 32 this year and I still look like I'm in high school. I got those Peter Pan genes too 😂 Forever Young
“I DON’T TELL” the way he said it XDD HE MEANS BUSINESS.
I met my now husband when I was 29, now I'm 40 and we are still together we just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. I wish you the happiest of days and safe travels. "Life Is Not Measured By the Number of Breaths We Take, But By the Moments That Take Our Breath Away"
Wtfffffff 29??????? I thought you are 22
Daniela i thought she was 19 last year and 20 this year
I THOUGHT THE SAME! WTH
yahh ,,me too , I thought sge is 23 or so , OMG ,
Daniela same i thought so too
Same Bru
Girl, i turned 30 this august and i can really relate to your thoughts... 25-30 was kind of a weird phase for me, like an identity crisis, because i didn‘t want to get older either and still didn’t really know where to go or who i am yet and then... honestly my 30th birthday wasn’t that horrible XD when it happened i had the same ‚awakening‘: live your life as you please as long as you are happy... age doesn‘t matter... be yourself... you don’t have to live up to the expectations of others... by 30 i honestly know now who i am and i‘m glad and thankful for all my experiences a.s.o... i don‘t know if i‘m really wiser, but i also kind of found my place in life here on earth... i know (most of the time XD) much better what i want and what i don‘t want... and over all who i am... you are such a sweet person, keep up the good work on your channel... i follow you for 3 years now and i saw your growth within the last year and it makes me happy, that you finally found your style and place 🖤 enjoy the holidays in canada! 🖤✌🏻 greetings from austria! Xo Rina
P.s: and belated „happy birthday“ 😊
Your little talk about aging really.... helped me out? Like I've been anxious about growing up as well and how I've been feeling pressured about what I should do and who I should be by my mid 20s... it feels reassuring that you're addressing these issues. Thank you so much for saying all those things.
New subscribers are shook hehehe I always knew that she was 28 when I subscribed to her back to 2015/2016 because I went to see some articles about her .... and yes the queen is 29 guys she build her career and channel after years and years + traveling around the world so of course she isn’t 19 etc .. and yes she looks so young 😭💕✨🌸 however I love you HBD tay ✨✨🙏🏼.
Lol at everyone in the comments shocked about her age... It's hilarious.
Heather Marie I thought it's unreal to shock me.... Well, not anymore
It’s as if people have found out she’s 60 😂 She’s 29.... still in her 20’s..of course she still looks young 🤦🏼♀️
Haha yeah everyone is so shocked haha
I thought 24 / 25
right people are so funny. XD But I guess its because the media always pushes that you are over the hill after 25. And that its all down hill from there, esp for woman. so lame. and not true.
holy crap!! 29? i thought you were like 25!!! You’re so beautiful and skin care is on point
Sugene Sanchez its all about them good genetics
I've been watching you for a long time, but this is the first time I've been inspired to comment. We're born in the same year (I turned 29 in August) and I went through the same thing as you. I'm not a model, but starting around 25 I started to feel this intense pressure that getting older necessitated change. I couldn't continue to have the same interests, I couldn't continue to dress in the fashion I liked, I couldn't have blue hair or read comics or collect figures. In retrospect, it seems so silly to ascribe that kind of ultimatum to an age, but I subconsciously harbored this belief that 30 was the death of who I am as a person. 30 was the point where I'd have to surrender my identity to fit the script of the person society says I should be according to my age.
Of course, none of that is true at all. We will change--that is inevitable--but who we are at our core won't. And if anything, finally reaching the point where 30 is knocking at my door has given me the strength to say, "I don't care." If people think I dress young, that's their problem. If people think I shouldn't enjoy the media I do, well, I didn't ask for their input, anyway. I'm going to live my best life regardless of my age, and if anything, being older and providing for myself has finally given me the freedom to make that possible.
I feared this time in my life for so long, but I can say with all honesty that I've never felt better and more confident in myself. I'm so glad to hear you've reached that place, too.
Guys she's 29 not 55😂😂
well, she looks like she's under 19 :D
I know what do people expect her to look like? All wrinkled up or something.
it's still impressive, since the majority of 20-25 girls I know looks like 35+ LOL
Thanks for the chat, Taylor! I'm 28 and still working out where I want to go but I've started doing a degree I'm actually super passionate about and trying (vvv hard) not to compare myself to others too much, or what is expected of me as I age. I'm going to take my time and enjoy it~☆
+Nabi S ❤️❤️❤️ good luck with your degree 😊
Taylor R Taylor R yay much appreciated 😊🎂 growing up still terrifies me lol...sometimes I wish I could be younger and doing what I now do. But you're right, in many ways my younger self would not have been as ready to take this on. I'm more focused and content with myself and WAyY better at organising and time management than I used to be! Thanks again for sharing your perspective 💟
ok so I'm relatively new to your channel BUT GIRL YOU ARE 29 I THOUGHT YOU WERE LIKE 22-24
Kat omg same!!
HOW AM I ONLY REALIZING YOURE 29 NOW?!?????? I THOUGHT YOU WERE LIKE 22??? Now it makes sense why you can afford to move around so much. My entire life has been a lie lol I hope I look as good as you do when I’m 29. Even when you turn 30 you’ll still look like a teenager. Omg happy birthday 🎂💕
Happy Birthday Taylor! Thanks for the real talk, I think we all need to remember that our lives have value and infinite potential no matter what society thinks about our age. Love you so much
Happy Birthday Tay! Thanks for being vulnerable with us. I just turned 25 and have been insecure about the grey hairs I've been finding. I find solace in the fact that aging is truly an honor and a privilege. It's a beautiful part of life and it's a symbol of a life well lived! Have fun in Canada!
Elbow-sans “BABE” gives me life hahaha
His name is elbow san?
S H no it’s a nickname hahaha
N A same, I want to see what face he makes while saying the famous « Babe » hahahaha
The talk at the end made me cry! Taylor you're so honest and I so needed to hear that I'm sure a lot of people too.
Your cake was so beautiful and the candle omg😍 happy very late birthday
BIIIIIITCH I thought you were like 20 !!!!! damn girl you ageing like a fine wine 🍷
Happy birthday Taylor! You had such a beautiful day! You’re ageless and always a humble time to watch.
I'm 51 and own it. I sing for a living so I get the age/career thing, but just embrace your age!!
Wow I had no idea we're the same age! I turn 29 Monday and I'm excited! Can't wait to be out of my 20s!! They're too difficult and deep. 30 seems carefree and fun✌💕 happy birthday!!!
+Liz Drake I completely agree 😊❤️ happy Birthday!
Liz Drake I'm 34 and from my experience the 30s are better than the 20s. Even I still don't know exactly what I would be, when I grow up, I'm ok with it. XD In my 20s I always blame myself for it.
Taylor and everyone who is afraid of getting older just live the moment don't overthink of the future, everything will work eventually.
My sister is 30 and we have a 16 year difference and I noticed that you, Taylor were getting very comfortable with yourself and I highly respect that and it's good that you think that age is a number ,so does my sister, (my sister isn't married but has a wonderful partner and she has one son that we all dearly love) so for you to talk about how you felt inspired alot of people to act freely and not care about age because we have one life anyways , love you Taylor
I thought you were 21 and really mature. Now I know why.
I'm so proud of you. Thank you for always inspiring me. Honestly, you are amazing, Taylor.
older = wiser! It makes so much more sense now! You’re so mature psychologically and can always give us great advices! I always felt like you’re a big sister to me! I’m 23 and sometimes feel lost in life, what’s my direction etc. but when I listen to you I feel a lot better!
Gurl, you must’ve discovered the fountain of youth because I’ve been assuming we’re the same age (24). Happy birthday, beautiful! You have such a radiant and lovable personality, don’t ever let a number inhibit you from chasing after your dreams! 💕
You’re 29?! I feel like my whole life has been a lie...
OMG SAME!! She totally just became so much cooler now!
lol
29 is still young, I don’t understand the shock in the comment section
she looks younger ! but just that! she's still young! and cute ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ✧
I know right?? Like, thanks guys 😐
She looks 20 that’s why
Taylor, I have never felt closer to you than after this video. As I heard you express your feelings on aging and past feelings all I could think of was me. I have legit cried over how I am growing older and how I miss my younger face and even the passions I had at my younger age. I am just a few months younger than you, as I turn 29 this next April. Honestly after watching this I felt inspired and encouraged. Someone I look up to has struggled with the same feelings but has found a way to move past that with a positive attitude. I agree too! Age really is a number and though our bodies do change, who we are and what we like doesn't have to. I also am struggling with hormonal acne and your videos on that have helped me out as well. I really appreciate you being open with us and sharing your struggles. I think you do more than you may know. Anywho.... I hope you had an amazing birthday and that your Christmas is warm and bright! God bless you Taytay and your family too! Love ya! - one of your viewers in California. :)
I'm turning 26 on December 27th. Your talk about age and your general mindset is pretty much the exact talk I have given myself daily since the beginning of the month. Turning 26 is the first time I've felt uneasy, but I know things will be okay. I'm continually more secure, in many ways, as each year progresses so while I'm nervous about getting older, I don't want to turn back the clock for any reason.
Thanks for the pep talk. It was nice to hear these words from someone else rather than my internal mantra.
i like how the cake said "happy birthday babe" instead of taylor 😅😅
I thought you were somewhere from 19-22. Not 29. What.
Anna Gleason SAME 😱
Im turning 29 next month and im a bit scared because I feel like Im too financially unstable to have my own family. I wish I feel as chill as you.
watching this on my 43rd birthday been an elder Taytortot for years and i love to go back and watch vlogs . I needed your 2 am birthday speech so bad today. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE DECEMBER VIDEOS I WATCH RE WATCH THEM EVERY YEAR LOVE U
That’s for the pep talk Tay, I’m still feeling a bit sad about getting older but I keep reminding myself that everything is okay
Thanks for you advice on getting older and not worrying about the "standards" of society. I really needed to hear someone say that
Congratulations to your sister on her new baby boy! You always look beautiful Taylor but today your eyes have a special sparkle. I love Nobu, the food is amazing. Your boyfriend gave you a beautiful bracelet but the best present is being loved. Congrats Taylor! So leaving you alone for the day equals Christmas trees in your nose😂 Note to elbow San don’t leave Taylor alone for too long 🤪. Can I ask you what kind of cake you got? I want to order it as well. Btw Taylor you still look like you’re a teen. Wish you a safe flight💝
You're not 29, Tay Tay quit Playinnnnn, happy #DecemberFools right 😂
She graduated high school in 2006. Which if she was 18 then, it makes sense she’s turning 29 now
Yeah she is 😊 but she looks really youthful
hahaha
This is so funny because in my country (Colombia) we don't celebrate April fools but we celebrate "inocente day" (December 28th).
It's basically the same but different name and different date.
Cat E.S that’s not only in Colombia we celebrate it in Mexico too, and I think all Latin America
Happy birthday Taylor! I don't usually comment on videos, but I'm going through a rough time right now, and your talk about age reminded me that it's ok to not "have it all together". I really needed that and I'm happy that you feel comfortable sharing those thoughts and feelings! Thank you for that!!
Thanks for always being so real with us Taylor. It’s what makes you so relatable to watch. Happy birthday and all the best!!! ❤️
people keep saying they thought she was like 24 or 25 but i was over here thinking she was like 19-21 hahhaha
exactly!!!
*29? S H O O K*
idontevenknow whatrowrite not as shook as your pfp made me... i love it
the way that dude on the piano looked at you though.... not creepy at all
nadia a he must just really hate being filmed but cant do a thing about it :/
Girl I'm a year older to you, and you really made me feel good about turning 30 or about getting older. I'm not married and with no stable career I'm so much pressured by everyone about everything and I was technically forgetting my life. Thank you for the message.
Congrats! For me, turning 30 felt so liberating. I'm no model, though, so those were not thoughts I ever had to contend with. I simply find that being content with myself and my life gets so much easier with each passing year. I'll be 40 in January, and even though it's just a measure of time, I'm super excited. I hope you have an awesome finish to your 20's, but, I think you will find your 30's will be far more rewarding. Mental maturity is an amazing thing to experience. To life!
OMG Tay! I can totally relate with all what you talked about the age girl, like it's a lot of pressure to constantly think about it, specially when you're going through that stage of your life and thinking about all the things you're supposed to have or be doing according to society and realizing you're not there and you probably just don't want to be there yet.
However, like you said, let's enjoy life as the way it is and live the moment doing what makes us happy, the only thing that really matters is how you feel inside and how you decide to spend your time in this world. 😄 Love ya! 💕
Happy (late)Birthday!
Happy birthday Taylor! I’m so happy you made this video. I’m turning 31 on January 3rd. It’s encouraging to hear these things said aloud. Best wishes! 💕💕💕
Valerie H 💜💜💜! Currently 30 and feeling this video as well!
I was smiling the entire time when the birthday-cake was released and Taylor's birthday wish, it was so beautiful!
I turned 30 this year and have been feeling the same as you since I turned 25. Hated the feeling of growing up, of being "older"... But just like you, this year was the first time I was okay with turning a year older... Age is just a number, you said it right ;) Happy belated birthday!
I think we all feel the same at this age , I'm the same age as you but I was born in June so I understand your feeling in my birthday I decided that I'm going to follow my dream I will no longer put them on hold so I returned to school and start to take better care of my health and saved some money to accomplish my dreams
Happy birthday to you and I wish for you a long healthy life
Before I unpause the video...
1. You're 29!?!?
2. I aspire to look like you when I'm 29
3. Happy late Birthday!!! 🎂🎈❤
Am I the only one who knew she was turning 29? I guessed she was born on 88 because she has always used 88 in usernames and stuff. I always assumed it was because of her birth year, and I was right!
Cherry Tokki she explaned it uears ago when she saw 88 is ised on nazi stuff 😂
i knew it because i looked up her age at some point because she used to keep it secretive : )
AWWWW I LOVED YOUR TALK AT THE END. What you said is so true and even in the entertainment industry that is supposedly "sooooo" obsessed with people being younger to find ultimate success, but when you look closely there's countless examples that prove the opposite and also the darker side where sometimes sadly the younger you are, the more you can be taken advantage of in that industry and don't get to do it on your terms. You are incredibly inspirational, I love your content and I'm glad you are doing exactly what you want to be doing! Happy Birthday and lots of love from a fellow Torontonian!
I also will be turning 29 in July and honestly turning 28 last year terrified me, I know I'm not alone but listening to your video helps out a lot thank you Taylor! I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday!
