“The eight-track EP chronicles her mental health struggles and the journey of finding and losing love, ranging from moody and evocative to playfully effervescent, without ever losing its edge.” – Sweety High
“…the eight-track body of work oozes with emotion and showcases the artist’s growth and ability to write deeply relatable works of sonic art.” – The Noise / Ones To Watch
“The assertive and anthemic chorus [of ‘High Horse’] showcases Acorn’s dynamicand undeniable prowess, driving home her strength and resilience.” – idobi Radio

“I feel like I’ve been waiting a lifetime to be able to say “I’m putting out a debut album”, but in all honesty I’m so glad I waited for as long as I have,” Taylor shares. “I feel like I’ve finally found my sound — I’ve fallen in love with every single song in it’s own right, the writing process was truly something I’ll never forget — and to top it off I got to share the experience with my best friends and some of the most amazing and talented people I know.”
She continues: “I’m not sure what will come next, but this chapter is something that I am so unbelievably proud of and I can’t wait to share it with everyone. I hope you love it and I hope you find peace in knowing that no matter what we go through, we are all walking representation of survival in motion and life is a gift no matter how crazy it can be.”
Earlier this year, Taylor wrapped up her sold-out Good Enough Tour, a 24-date US & AUS headline run featuring US support from World’s First Cinema. She followed up the tour with a trip to the UK for Slam Dunk Festival, a headline date at the O2 Academy in London, as well as stops at Let’s Go! Music Festival and Four Chord Music Festival.
Taylor recently announced a number of new headline shows in September and October. Shows kick off on September 5th in Tuscaloosa as a co-headline with Charlotte Sands, with additional shows (support TBA) in Richmond, Baltimore, San Francisco, Anaheim, and more. She’ll also be performing this September at Bourbon & Beyond.

About Taylor Acorn
Growing up in the early 90’s & 2000’s pop punk/pop rock scene, for Taylor Acorn it was never a phase. Hailing from the small North Central Pennsylvania town of Wellsboro, Taylor had always dreamed of a career in music and in 2014, dropped out of Kutztown University to pursue just that, setting her sights for Nashville in 2017.
With her infectiously relatable releases of “Psycho”, “Certified Depressant”, 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 space where they can feel free and vulnerable, a place where healing is accepted no matter who you are or where you’ve come from.
Taylor released her EP Certified Depressant last year, earning critical acclaim from Grammy.com, The Noise / Ones To Watch, idobi Radio, RiotFest.org, Sweety High, and more.
Fans can look forward to the release of Taylor’s debut full-length album, Survival in Motion, on September 13th. Stay tuned for more new music coming soon.
