'This is his now ex girlfriend. I was visiting his family w him for two weeks... Stay safe out there ladies. You can be 6 years in visiting grandparents one hour and sleeping in bed the next at his family home and they still will cheat :),' she wrote.

Taylor subsequently thanked supporters in another Instagram Story on her account, writing:

'Thank you everyone for all the love and kind words. It means a lot to see genuine good people out there.' Her Instagram account has since been made private.
