Real conversation at my house… Me - You invited your friend, Taylor, to Thanksgiving?
Kid-Yeah, they’re looking forward to meeting you guys.
Me-Oh, is Taylor bringing a date?
Kid- i don’t think so. I told them to come over about 4.
Me- ??? How many chairs do we need??
So, while they singular is correct, it’s also confusing as hell!!

“Sorry for the confusion. Taylor uses they/them pronouns.”
Confusion lifted, problem solved.

Yeah, that would have helped.

It’s really not, it’s very common usage in the UK.

Typically you can assume a pronoun isn’t introducing any previously unmentioned people, as that is confusing and bad grammar. The only case I would find this confusing is if you thought “Taylor” referred to a group of people like a band.
