This record feels very personal but it feels nostalgic at the same time,” Acorn shares about the lyrical theme of Poster Child. “I feel like some songs are kind of on the angry side and are very vulnerable, but there’s also a lot of songs that made me feel really nostalgic for my childhood where you could go to the Warped Tour as a 15-year-old and there’s no worries about that.”

Acorn is set to take the stage at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas on October 18th and 19th, alongside iconic acts including blink-182, Avril Lavigne, Panic! At The Disco, Weezer, and more. She’ll also be performing at Vans Warped Tour in Orlando this November following a captivating performance at the Long Beach date earlier this year. Acorn will close out the year with a full US headline tour, beginning with a special album release show in Nashville on October 29th.

About Taylor Acorn:

In order to make it in the music industry, you don’t just need talent, you also need to possess a consuming desire to perform that’s ingrained in your DNA. That’s especially true for Taylor Acorn, who has made bold sacrifices in order to pursue her musical dreams. Acorn became interested in performing as a teenager living in Northern Pennsylvania where she started her first pop-punk band and began performing as a solo artist. However her career breakthrough came when she relocated to Nashville in 2014 and connected with producer Dan Swank (All Time Low, Cassadee Pope) and the duo instantly bonded over their mutual love of early 2000s pop-punk.

If Acorn’s 2024 full-length Survival In Motion was her introduction to the world, 2025’s Poster Child shows that she is here to stay—and it also marks the fact that she has signed with Fearless Records after nine years of releasing her music independently. “When people listen to this album I just want them to feel like they’re back in a time period that makes them feel good,” she says. That sense of optimism is evident from the infectious opener “People Pleaser” to the stripped-down outro of the album closer “Masquerade,” the latter of which showcases the way Acorn is able to effortlessly express both power and vulnerability with her voice, depending on the feeling that she is trying to articulate in the moment.
