She worked steadily, building her body of work, until she was diagnosed with cancer at the age of nine. With that news, everything came to a halt. Once she regained her health, Taylor plunged back into her career, excited to be working again.

She's vowed to help give back whenever she can to ensure these organizations can continue to help children stricken with cancer.
Taylor hosted Star for a Night, an event to celebrate the lives of youth cancer survivors. The event featured 14 patients and survivors who were treated to a star-filled night where they walked the red carpet and received autographs from some of their favorite stars. Performances by teen heartthrob Cody Longo and Brittany Underwood, and dance performances by the jerk hip hop team The Avengers, were the hit of the night. All ticket sales went to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. At the end of the evening, almost $6,000 had been raised for LLS. Through this connection, Cody and Taylor joined forces to create the video for his hit single, Electic, in the hopes that it will empower all young cancer patients to never give up.
