13 year old Tilly Arnold and 14 year old Polly Sumner didn't think their short 50 second video they posted on Facebook about Taylor Swifts new song 22 would become so big but now that it has they can only but think.

The two female teenagers who are cousins were born in Australia and live in Hobart where they were born and bred.

infonews.co.nz spoke with Miss Arnold exclusively and she told us "I mean we aren't like her ultimate fans, her music is alright but we felt like doing something fun and the song was really upbeat so it was kind of just a let's do it thing." 

"It took us about 5 hours to think of the idea, create the signs take the pictures on a canon camera and then put them onto the computer and put all the photos together with the backing track" she added.

She told us "My cousin and I didn't think anything like this would happen." 

infonews.co.nz found out about the viral video which has over 20,000 likes when it was reported to us by social networking site Facebook users.

Our newsroom was flooded with reports of a video that was revealed on Facebook around a day ago based on Taylor Swift's new hit song 22, but now its not Swifts song that is the hit, its the new music video created by the two teens.

The video hasn't just been viewed in Australia but also Brazil and New Zealand, a New Zealander living in Brazil told infonews.co.nz the short 50 second video was really cool.

"It will go viral, already three of my friends have shared it"

"My friend from New Zealand shared the video and his share made heaps of likes"

Another New Zealand resident saw the video and told infonews.co.nz "The video is really cool"

We spoke with a Music Choreographer and he told us that the video was set out perfectly and that is why it is making hits.

He said it looks 'real music video material'

The video shows the two girls 'kindof creating a music video' for the song.

infonews.co.nz asked Tilly if she and her cousin would create any more videos and she replied a pleasing answer "We live together half the time so it would be pretty easy to get together and make more!"

She told us the support is outrageous "Heaps of support, everybody is just overwhelmed."

She told us since the video had been published she received over 100 friend requests from people she never knew, and got over 100 Facebook followers.

"It was a lot of fun! We aren't to sure what to do next, We will have to go back to the drawing board."

She told InfoNews they are thinking about creating a Facebook page regarding their success's.

Friend Chloe Wilton, 14 from Hobart told infonews.co.nz the video is amazing.

"It's amazing and I'm happy two people I know personally did it!" she told us.

She told us she thinks the video will get very big and to an extent the video already is quite large.

She told us she is happy that her friends are in the spotlight, we then asked her 'Do you think she will be able to handle the public pressure?' she told us with a straight awnser, "Yes, she will handle it."

She told us the 50 second song was not long enough "They should of completed the whole song!"

Once again the wonders of social networking site Facebook have worked out well for two teenagers, over 52 shares and two very happy faces.

Some of the two girls friends told infonews.co.nz "I hope they remember me when [they] become famous"

Another said "I love knowing people famous"

But for now the two teenagers are all about sleep for a busy day at school in the morning where all the ideas come from.
