Biography
Taylor is introduced as a junior at the beginning of Private, and is one of the four core Billings Girls, along with Noelle, Ariana and Kiran. Reed first encounters her and the others at the start of the year when she spies them dancing through a window. They catch her in the act, and begin to test her suitability as a Billings Girl through a series of initiations. Taylor quickly befriends Reed as she helps her with her schoolwork. They eventually decide to let Reed into Billings.

The Billings Girls become increasingly nervous when the Thomas Pearson, Reed's ex-boyfriend, is revealed to have been murdered. Taylor becomes especially emotional, causing Noelle to publicly question her position as a Billings Girl. This results in Taylor leaving the school, and the other girls claim she snapped due to pressure. However, Reed receives an enigmatic message from Taylor telling her not to believe anything they say about her. It is eventually revealed that Taylor left Easton to attend public school, as she felt guilty about her part in Thomas's death. She is arrested after Noelle confesses to the police, but she and the other Billings Girls manage to get off lightly. She does not return to Easton after this incident.
