Growing up in the early 90’s & 2000’s pop-punk/pop-rock scene, for Taylor Acorn, it was never a phase. Taylor had always dreamed of a music career, so she eventually dropped out of University to pursue just that, setting her sights on Nashville. This city is well known as the Mecca of the country, so it’s not a surprise she started with this genre. However, she never felt at home creating country music and, amid the pandemic, went back to her pop-punk roots with her cover of “Jamie All Over” on TikTok, sparking the attention of many elder emo fans as well as Mayday Parade themselves. Since then, she has gained the attention of many emo/pop-punk bands with her newly rendered versions of their songs. Covers aren’t the only thing that’s been grasping fans’ attention, though. With her releases of “Do That Again,” “In My Head,” and “Shapeshifting,” Taylor is now leaving her own footprint in the pop-punk community giving her fans a place to feel safe and to feel heard by tackling tough subjects such as mental health by sharing her own personal struggles. She wants to give her listeners a safe space where healing is accepted no matter who you are or where you’ve come from.
