Unapologetic and empowered, Nashville-based powerhouse Taylor Acorn returns with her triumphantly vengeful new single, Goodbye, Good Riddance. The highly anticipated track—her first release since the deluxe edition of her acclaimed album Survival in Motion—marks the beginning of a bold new era, out now via Fearless Records.
Having grown up immersed in the ’90s and early 2000s punk/pop rock scene, Acorn is now leaving her own mark on the genre that shaped her—channeling the emotional bite of Avril Lavigne and the anthemic fire of Paramore. She continues to prove that ’emo’ was never just a phase—creating a new wave of pop punk for younger generations to experience the same energy and emotion that first inspired her.
Taylor Acorn on the track, “Good Riddance may be up there as one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. It’s gritty, it’s fun, empowering, and I feel like it’s going to be a really amazing live moment also. I’m really excited for everyone to hear it!”
Acorn’s genre-blending sound hasn’t gone unnoticed—she’s been spotlighted across major streaming platforms for her fearless mix of pop-punk, rock, and alt. On Spotify, she’s landed features on top playlists like Pop Rock, Pop Punk’s Not Dead, All New Rock, The Scene, The New Alt, Women of Rock, Fierce Femmes, and Today’s Punk. Her powerful cover of The Locker received multiple placements, and her collab with Mitchell Tenpenny earned her a spot on Country Rocks, showcasing her range.
Over on Apple Music, she scored a banner feature under Punk for her EP and has been included on playlists like Relationship Goals, Working From Home, Feeling Blue, Excited, and New Music Daily, along with genre-specific lists like New in Rock, New in Alternative, New in Country, New in Pop, and New in Punk.
Amazon Music has shown her major support on Breakthrough Pop, Breakthrough Alternative, Fresh Alternative, and Pop Culture, while Pandora highlighted her in their Pop Punk spotlight.
In 2024, Taylor Acorn made her Australian live debut, performing in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney last March, and returned down under last December performing as part of Good Things Festival alongside KoЯn, Violent Femmes, Electric Callboy, Billy Corgan and more.
Acorn is further solidifying her spot in the pop rock world by playing When We Were Young Fest and the legendary rock festival Warped Tour. She’s also hitting the road and touring across the U.S. for the Summer School tour later this year.
