Country singer Nicole Taylor, one-third of the musical trio Taylor Red, has died aged 35 following a battle with breast cancer. Her triplet sisters, Nika and Natalie Taylor, confirmed the news in a YouTube video. Nicole died on September 28. In the emotional video, her sisters said she was "at peace and no longer suffering" as they began sharing details of her illness and final months. Natalie revealed that Nicole was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 after the sisters received the news while they were in a "public place". Nika later explained that the cancer was Stage 3 and "very aggressive". Despite undergoing chemotherapy, Nicole continued to encourage those around her to enjoy life. "She pushed us all to have fun and not live in fear and hopelessness and she even did CrossFit during the time she was getting chemo treatments," Natalie shared. The sisters also paid tribute to Nicole in a statement on a page created in her memory. "Nicole, the oldest of us three sisters, will be greatly missed. She was our leader and our best friend," they wrote. "We are heartbroken, but we know she is in Heaven and will see her again," they added. Nika and Natalie also confirmed that a private funeral had already taken place. The identical triplets began their musical journey playing instruments including guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin.
