Zach Top’s girlfriend, Amelia Taylor, is speaking out after facing online harassment and scrutiny from social media users.
In a new post shared to her TikTok account, Taylor opened up about the emotional toll being with someone in the public eye has taken on her and reminded people that she is human too.
While Taylor didn’t name names or respond to specific rumors circulating about her, she made it clear that much of the speculation surrounding her relationship with Top is not true, including claims about her age, how they met, and accusations of infidelity.
“I think I learn something new about myself on here every day,” she began. “I thought I’d address this in a subtle manner since everyone is so curious.”
She admitted that she doesn’t believe her “personal life needs to be made public,” but felt the need to set the record straight due to receiving “de@Th threats, su!cide wishes, and assault threats.”
“Being with someone in the public eye doesn’t cancel out the fact that I’m human with real human feelings,” Taylor pointed out. “I’m not 19. I’ve never been anyone’s mistress. I didn’t meet my boyfriend when I was in high school.”
@ameliagtaylor I think I learn something new about myself on here every day. I thought I’d address this in a subtle manner since everyone is so curious. Not that I believe my personal life needs to be made public, but simply because the de@Th threats, su!cide wishes, and assault threats are getting a little out of control. Being with someone in the public eye doesn’t cancel out the fact that I’m human with real human feelings. I’m not 19. I’ve never been anyone’s mistress. I didn’t meet my boyfriend when I was in highschool. I specifically meant the signs that are *self-degrading* to the beautiful girls holding them up and objectifying another human simply because of his talent💕 Disliking another human is fine! Differing opinions make the world go round! However, the de*th threats and su!cide wishes are not okay- Let’s remember that everything we read on the internet isn’t always true! Humans are human- they make mistakes, they’re imperfect. It’s simply the beauty of being human! If you’re constantly sending hate my way, of course I’m going to block you. No human is numb to the hurt that words can cause- Learn to love. It makes life a lot more enjoyable🤍 I just wanna travel and pet kangaroos💋💋

She also took a moment to address her previous TikTok post that called out the “wild texts chicks are holding up” in the crowd at Top’s shows. In her caption, she declared, “We need a lesson on self respect.” She later disabled the comments on that post as it seemed to have ruffled a few feathers.
“I specifically meant the signs that are *self-degrading* to the beautiful girls holding them up and objectifying another human simply because of his talent,” she clarified.

She promised that she will block anyone who sends hate her way and urged people to choose compassion, writing: “Learn to love. It makes life a lot more enjoyable.”
Amelia Taylor and Zach Top made their red carpet debut at the 58th Annual CMA Awards in November 2024. Since then, Amelia has often traveled with Top and is known to document their tour experiences on social media.
They recently walked the red carpet together at the 2025 ACM Awards, where he revealed that he styles himself, which makes it difficult for the couple to coordinate their outfits.
“I think my girlfriend gets tired of me ‘cause I say like, ‘alright, let’s wear this.’ She wants it to be kind of coordinated. You’ve got to have it on the same page. Then a week before it’s like, ‘maybe I want to wear this instead,’” he explained. “So I give her hell for sure. But she makes it through. She’s a wonderful woman and puts up with a lot of grief for me.”
