Breaking: Nicole Taylor, Country Singer of Identical Triplets Band Taylor Red, Dead at 35

The country music community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Nicole Taylor, one-third of the identical triplet trio Taylor Red. Nicole’s sisters, Natalie and Nika, announced her passing in an emotional video shared on social media Monday, November 2, revealing that the singer died at just 35 years old.

“This isn’t a video we ever thought we’d be making. We thought she’d be here sharing her story of earthly healing. Instead, we’re sharing her story of heavenly healing,” her sisters said through tears.

For Natalie and Nika, the loss is unimaginable. Nicole wasn’t just their sister and musical partner — she was their oldest triplet, their fearless leader, and the person who brought a special kind of energy to everything they did. They lovingly described her as “the rocker chicky edgy one,” a reflection of her bold personality and unmistakable spirit.

What Happened to Nicole Taylor?

Nicole had been fighting an aggressive form of breast cancer after receiving her diagnosis in 2022. According to her sisters, the news came as a devastating shock. The triplets had always enjoyed good health, and Natalie recalled breaking down when she first learned what Nicole was facing.

But Nicole responded with a faith that would remain at the center of her journey.

“God is going to use this for his glory,” she said after learning about her diagnosis.

Throughout the difficult years that followed, Nicole continued to lean on her relationship with God. Her cancer returned twice, and each recurrence brought an even more difficult battle. Yet her sisters say she remained determined to encourage those around her and demonstrate what it meant to live fearlessly, with joy and faith even in the hardest moments.

Nicole understood the seriousness of her illness, but she also spoke openly about her faith and her readiness to meet Christ. In the emotional tribute video, Natalie and Nika shared a clip of Nicole discussing her testimony and encouraged viewers to seek a personal relationship with Christ.

Her story was not only one of illness and loss, but also of courage, hope, and an unwavering belief that her life had a greater purpose.
