Celebrities, City Guide | February 27, 2019

You may know her best from her smash hit, 1987 debut single “Tell It To My Heart,” but 32 years later, Taylor Dayne continues to pursue her craft, and in a big way. Named one of Billboard’s most successful dance artists of all time, the powerhouse vocalist has sold over 75 million albums worldwide and just released a book, aptly called “Tell It To My Heart.” In her book, she reflects on her 30-year music career and highlights some of her more noteworthy experiences, like opening for Michael Jackson on the “Bad” tour, among others. Here, the newly official resident of the Magic City shares her Haute Secrets to Miami, including her favorite restaurants, spas and so much more. Check it out below!
