Instead of rocking her voluminous curly hair, Taylor's golden blonde tresses were straightened, and loosely curled at the end.

She seemed to wear a natural glam.

Taylor pulled her look together with a pair of black boots.

Taylor appeared more stylish when celebrity photographers captured her outside of SiriusXM studios today.

TAYLOR'S TOO HOT

She wore a black plunging lace lingerie bodysuit tucked into the form-fitting jeans she paired with her top.

Over Taylor's top was a black leather jacket.

Since Taylor's top was low-cut, her full bosom was on full display.

Her complexion was enhanced with a natural glam makeup look that made her look golden.

And her hair was styled in the same way it was when paparazzi caught her on the New York streets.

TAKING OFF THE MASK

Taylor competed in the singing competition The Masked Singer in 2020.

The "best vocalist" Tori Kelly, 30, snowboarder Chloe Kim, 23, and Taylor were all unmasked during the semi-finals episode.

The first contestant to be unmasked was singer Taylor, who gave a powerful performance of the late Tina Turner's Be Good to Me while disguised in the Popcorn costume.

After her identity was revealed, Taylor said she loved being on the show because of its "creativity."

Fans reacted to the elimination on X, fka Twitter, with one viewer writing: "Welp majority of Twitter was right it’s Taylor Dayne. Didn’t grow up listening to her so I would’ve never guessed it on my own."

Others argued she should have won the competition, as one fan said: "The popcorn should have won it. Totally knew it was her!"

The second person to be eliminated was Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Chloe.

The athlete competed in the Jellyfish costume throughout the season, while the final song she sang was Rihanna's Stay.

Judge Ken Jeong, 54, was ecstatic when she was unmasked, as he correctly guessed her identity.

While reflecting on her time on the show, Chloe said she wanted to compete on The Masked Singer to "put myself out there and be vulnerable."

Viewers were shocked that she has such an impressive voice, with one fan tweeting: "What? Chloe Kim was the Jellyfish the whole time!"

Another surprised person added: "I had no idea Chloe could sing! Girl you get it!"

The final contestant to be unmasked was singer Tori, who performed That's What I Like by Bruno Mars as the Seahorse.

Once Tori's identity was revealed, judge Nicole Scherzinger, 45, said Tori was "the best vocalist we've ever had on this show."

Tori explained that she wanted to be on the Fox series to "show another side" of herself and be sassy.
