Their
best friend, Chelsea Blaney is responsible for their Internet fame.
After she posted a picture Friday of the two on her Tumblr blog, saying
they won cutest couple, she went from 15 likes to 7,000 in minutes, she
recalled.
Her blog and Taylor and Meehan's picture have since
been shared online more than 100,000 times. Taylor said he soon got a
message from his cousin in Pennsylvania saying they were "Tumblr
famous." Other messages have poured in from around the world.
"I got comments from 'They're cute' to 'This has inspired me to come out to my parents,' " said Blaney, 18. "It's mind-blowing."
The couple is headed to NYU in the fall, to the Gallatin School of
Individualized Study, where they expect to study theater, business and
the sciences. Both have 4.0 grade point averages and scholarships,
according to USA Today.
