Pop queen Taylor Dayne is barely recognisable as she steps out in New York City, decades after her hit song Tell It To My Heart made her a star at the age of 25.

Taylor was famous for her wild curly hair, usually brunette with blonde highlights, and her love of leather jackets, sheer bodysuits, and bold makeup. But these days she's rocking sleek, honey blonde hair, which she wore in loose waves while out and about.

The 61 year old American was spotted wearing a red and white checked dress with a daring slit up one thigh, wrapped up in a grey scarf and her signature cropped jacket. She completed her look with calf-length black leather boots and a glossy pink lip.

Despite releasing her last album in 2008, Taylor hasn't slowed down. She's continued to delight fans with various TV appearances over the years and released singles until 2014.

In 2020, she wowed fans by appearing on The Masked Singer US as Popcorn, making it all the way to the semi-final.. She even competed on RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race in 2022, using the name Electra Owl.

Despite her busy career, Taylor has never tied the knot but she became a mum to twins Astaria and Levi, via surrogate back in 2003. She told the USA's OK! magazine about her journey to motherhood, saying: "I had a surrogate carry it and it was my egg. I went for one, and I got two. She called me up and they told me. I'm very proud of the achievement."

A friend suggested the idea of a "rent a womb", but Taylor had to travel between her New York home and Los Angeles throughout the process, as surrogacy was illegal in her state at the time.

She expressed her hopes for her children, saying: "My biggest hope for them is to make sure they are happy, content, peaceful and satisfied, and successful people in this world. Give back and learn how to live fulfilling lives. I like knowing that in their hearts they feel safe, and yet they challenge themselves."

Taylor's life hasn't always been easy – last year she revealed she was diagnosed with colon cancer, like I'm A Celeb star Adele Roberts and tragic Dame Deborah James, when a routine colonoscopy found an abnormal polyp.

She underwent surgery to remove 10 inches of her colon and was thankfully declared cancer-free without the need for chemotherapy or radiation.
