Triplet sisters Nicole, Natalie, and Nika Taylor, who make up the group Taylor Red, made a difficult announcement on YouTube on Monday (Nov. 2).

In a heartbreaking video, Natalie and Nika Taylor revealed that their sister, Nicole Taylor, had passed away at the age of 35 after a brave fight against breast cancer.

Natalie and Nika said, “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.”

The identical triplets were known as the country trio and online content creators Taylor Red. Their YouTube channel has over 16 million subscribers and they have 13.4 million followers on TikTok.

The trio gained fame online making videos and appeared in several brand commercials including Lovesac and Sonic.

During their rise to fame online, they also showed off their musical chops and even went on a tour.

Revisit Their Acoustic Performance Of “Jolene”

While the trio performed plenty of their own original music, they occasionally treated the audience to a few familiar favorites.

One of their most popular covers was their rendition of Dolly Parton’s iconic hit, “Jolene.” The timeless song gave them the perfect opportunity to showcase their vocal talents while putting their own spin on a country music classic.

Accompanied by guitar and mandolin, the trio delivered beautiful three-part harmonies that seemed to blend effortlessly. Their voices complemented one another perfectly, creating the kind of rich, seamless family harmony that is difficult to replicate.

It was a standout moment that highlighted not only their musical abilities but also the special connection they share as a family. Their performance served as a reminder that sometimes, the simplest arrangement and a few incredible voices are all you need to make a song unforgettable.
