After receiving the news from host Sonia Kruger, Taylor Smith said "I really can't believe it. I'm so thankful. I can't wait to see what incredible things are ahead for me. I'm really grateful for you [coach Guy], for everyone who voted and for my beautiful family who I love.[1]

Immediately following the announcement of her win, Taylor Smith's debut EP with EMI Music The Complete Collection was released.

On 28 January 2022, Taylor Smith released "Nice to Know Ya". Upon release she said "We all process broken trust differently. Whether it's between family, friends or romantic partners – each of us are likely to respond in our own unique way. 'Nice to Know Ya explores differing journeys/ choices the listener may face in deciding the best way forward from that moment of broken trust. If you want to continue to make something work knowing it won't be easy, or if you want to turn around and say 'nice to know ya', no choice is bad, it's just what's right for you."[3]

Personal life[]

In the pre-audition interview of The Voice, Taylor Smith discussed her background in the church and said "I never really knew why I could sing or what I was going to do with it until I started going to church."[4] She later said "faith is a really important part of my life."[5]
