Townes Adair Jones is a pop culture figure who uniquely rose to fame after the famous singer, Harry Styles, allegedly wrote the song “Carolina” about her.

Early life, family, education

Townes Adair Jones was born on 21 April 1997, in Greenwood, South Carolina, and is 26 years old today. She grew up with her parents and three sisters Isabella, Campbell and Gilland, and all of them were homeschooled. The family travelled a lot during their childhood, reaching slmost every corner of the Earth.

Townes later enrolled at UCLA, and graduated with a major in psychology and a minor in French. It is unclear whether she has continued to pursue her education at higher levels, or opted to start her career.

Her sister, Gilland, is a well-established actress who appeared in several popular Disney TV shows. Her youngest sister, Campbell is still being home schooled, while Isabella has started her modelling career with Elite Model Management. Her mother, Rosann Wilson Jones, reportedly runs a fashion business, while her father’s name is W Townes Jones, but his occupation is unknown.

Rise to fame, meeting Harry Styles

Townes Adair Jones became the center of attention after it was revealed that Harry Styles found inspiration for his song “Carolina” after the two went on a date. Townes met Harry through a close friend, who arranged a blind date for them. Townes’ friend noted that their encounter was completely spontaneous, and that they “really hit it off.”

Harry and Townes only went on that one date, but their encounter left a strong impression on Harry, who set out to write a song about her. The song reveals several details about Townes’ personality, with lines such as “She never saw herself as a West Coaster,” and “She’s got a book for every situation.” Harry even reveals her name in the song, referencing advice she received from her grandmother, in the line “Townes, better swim before you drown.”

The song “Carolina” is a lively and infectious track that embodies a mix of rock, pop, and folk elements. The song is characterized by its upbeat and rhythmic feel, offering a refreshing departure from Styles’ boy band roots. He delivers the lyrics with charisma and a sense of playfulness, hinting at the emotional connection he has with the song.

Townes was at first unaware of the song, and Harry’s lines in the song reference how she is all he thinks about, but can’t tell her. After learning that she was the inspiration behind the song, Townes was reportedly beside herself with joy and surprise. She found the song to be fairly accurate of her personality, calling it “lovely” and “adorable.” Still, she felt overwhelmed by the amount of attention she received following the release of the song, and simply wanted it all to blow over. Her friend who reported on the story noted that Townes didn’t want to go around bragging about this, while millions of other girls likely would. Notably, many students from UCLA tweeted that they are disappointed that the song isn’t about them, or that they aren’t friends with this mysterious girl.

Following the release of the song, Harry got in touch with Townes, and the two are on friendly terms ‘til this day. In his song, Harry writes that she says he reminds her of home and calls her a good girl.

She notably portrayed Emma Tutweiller in “The Suite Life on Deck,” where her character, a teacher turned cruise director, became an integral part of the show’s comedic ensemble. Additionally, she assumed the recurring role of Jenny Majorheely in “The Wizards of Waverly Place,” another Disney hit. Her appearances in both series showcased her versatility as an actress, contributing to the humor and charm that endeared these shows to audiences.

Following these involvements, she has been featured in various TV series such as “The Thundermans” (2014), “Resident Advisors” and “Awkward” both in 2016. She seemingly hasn’t been active in the world of entertainment in the recent years, as her latest project took place in 2018.

Beyond her on-screen accomplishments, Gilland’s familial ties include a connection to actor Bo Hopkins, a fellow South Carolinian.
