Nicole Taylor died on September 28 at her Nashville home, six weeks before her triplet sisters and bandmates Natalie and Nika announced the news in a tearful YouTube video. She was first diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2022, was declared free of disease after treatment, then learned nine months later it had returned as stage four with around three months to live. Even during chemotherapy, Nicole did CrossFit and refused to 'live in dread', her sisters said.
'God's gonna use this for his glory': those were Nicole's own words on first hearing her diagnosis, Natalie recalled.
The sisters described Nicole, oldest of the triplets by one minute, as 'our leader and our best friend.'
