[2] She grew up in Solihull and was inspired in her early teens to play the blues after hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and Jimi Hendrix.

[5] Dave Stewart heard Taylor play and invited her to join his supergroup, D.U.P., on tour in Europe during 2002.

[7] On 4 June 2012, Taylor played lead guitar in Annie Lennox's band at the Diamond Jubilee Concert in London.

[9] Taylor played an extended solo during the performance in front of Buckingham Palace, attended by approximately 12,000 people (not counting the many thousands lining The Mall).

[10] Just before her solo spot, Taylor's Fuzz Face pedal malfunctioned, leaving a much cleaner guitar sound than usual.

However, this apparent misfortune was ameliorated when she was informed that Stevie Wonder had loved her "clean, bluesy, understated tone".

[11] Taylor's fourth studio album, The Dirty Truth, was recorded in Memphis, Tennessee (with producer Jim Gaines).

[14] In 2018, Taylor signed her first major label contract with Sony Music on their imprint, Silvertone Records.

Additionally, she uses a Fender Albert Collins signature model Telecaster, which was a gift from Joe Bonamassa.
