I’ve seen my fair share of reality TV stars, but I’ll be honest—Taylor Williams is a different breed entirely. This isn’t just another influencer looking for a quick fame boost. We’re talking about a genuine Oklahoma cowboy who walks runways for Louis Vuitton one day and tends to horses on his family’s ranch the next. I think his story completely shatters the typical contestant mold. It’s a wild combination that really makes you wonder who the real Taylor is.
So, I had to dig deeper. How does a guy with a degree in animal science and dreams of being a vet even end up on fashion’s biggest stages? And what’s his life really like back in Oklahoma City? If you’re as curious as I am about the man behind the cowboy hat and magazine covers, you’re in the right place. His journey from the ranch to the villa is way more interesting than you might think.

To get to know Taylor Williams, you have to know about her being brought to Love Island owing to her upbringing in an Oklahoma ranch
Taylor Williams has stolen the hearts of the Love Island Season 7 USA fans with his original cowboy looks straight out of Oklahoma City to the Fiji villa where the show is taking place. In her case, this 24-year-old international model was also one of the Day 1 contestants, who came into the show with already a staggering social media following of well over 20,000 on Instagram, at a time she had not even had the opportunity to make a single appearance on the show itself.
Taylor Williams stands out among the other contestants in regard to reality TV because he is an actual cowboy. He resides in a 33-acre ranch that has horses and he takes good care of them as a cowboy would. This does not end at his hobby because he has a degree in animal science and studied at Oklahoma State University and his intention was to become a veterinarian. He made a big step in this direction when he entered veterinary school in 2024 proving that he has a lot more demanding dreams than to be a TV star.
The career of Taylor Williams as a model has been outstanding. Being an international actor and mode he is a specialist in western and lifestyle commercials, both combining his true cowboy image and the men as a model. He has worked with such global brands as Stetson USA, Timberland, Levi, etc. Most notably, he has walked the runway as a model at the fashions show of the luxury fashion company Louis Vuitton under the artistic direction of Pharrell Williams. The icing on the cake came up in fall the year 2024, when he landed on the cover of Wonderland Magazine.
Taylor is active on social media in various sites. His Instagram profile @taylor_williams.3 reflects posing in his modeling productions, his ranch life, and his personal escapades, and makes his fans get an idea of his multi-dimensional life. He also has a profile on Tik Tok, but he has received more of the spotlight recently because of viral videos that challenge his relationship status outside the villa.
Although an accomplished model, Taylor has stated in the publicity material that he found it hard to get a love interest prior to being in the show (Love Island). He is honest in seeking love, has an all-American personality, and so far has had a successful career and that has made him a fan favorite all through Season 7. Talking about his future veterinary practice or presenting his modeling portfolio, Taylor Williams is a nice example of traditional and modern values making a remarkable union that strikes a chord with the national viewers.
