Taylor Sieve proved that hard work pays off, becoming a fan favorite for her honest personality and athletic grace during season 14 of So You Think You Can Dance. Although she finished third, the Minnesota native won the hearts of more than just the audience, as it was revealed that she and (eventual winner) Lex Ishimoto were dating. After one stunning performance, judge Mary Murphy was so moved she lauded Taylor for “reaching inside her soul” to create an “ethereal” presence on stage. Taylor’s confidence emerged more with each week as fans flocked to her Instagram—now nearly 100K followers strong—watching as her dance career continues to blossom.
