DESPITE the cacophony of screaming girls at Westfield Fountain Gate yesterday, it was still easy enough to hear the soulful tones of Victoria’s home-grown pop star Taylor Henderson.
The X-Factor runner-up stopped by the shopping centre on Thursday afternoon to perform three acoustic songs for a crowd of adoring fans outside Switch Restaurant before sticking around to have a chat with fans and sign their memorabilia.
Since X-Factor finished this year, Taylor has signed with Sony Music Australia and watched as his single ‘Borrow My Heart’ debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart.
The single was also certified Platinum after it sold 70,000 copies since its November release.
Taylor was a finalist on Australia’s Got Talent in 2010 before making waves on X-Factor this year.
