Sources tell TMZ that Traffic is Taylor's favorite store. Since Taylor has been on 'Idol' he's shopped at the store roughly eight times.
Taylor is such a fan of the clothes, he even brought his father into the store to show him all his choices. Although his father bought nothing, he loved Taylor's picks.
Sources say Taylor is a very quick shopper. He knows immediately whether a piece works or not.
While the 'Idol' star is in the store, witnesses describe him as very polite, confident and friendly - even to the gawking fans.
