In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked her the 28th most successful dance artist of all time. Career
Early success
Taylor Dayne, whose birth name is Leslie Wunderman, was born in Manhattan, New York City, and lived briefly in another borough, The Bronx, until her family moved to Long Island when she was two years old. She began singing professionally after graduating from high school in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York, singing in little known rock bands such as Felony and Next. She began singing solo after finishing college and, under the name Les Lee, recorded two dance singles, "I'm The One You Want" (1985) and "Tell Me Can You Love Me" (1986), which were released on New York indie label Mega Bolt. Signed to Arista Records as Taylor Dayne, her first song to crack the top ten was the dance pop hit "Tell It to My Heart" in late 1987. The string of hits from her first two albums, Tell It to My Heart (1988) and Can't Fight Fate (1989), proved to be the peak of her career. Dayne later recorded and released the song herself in 1998 as a single from her album Naked Without You. That album failed to chart, but Dayne continued to have hits on the dance charts into the 2000s. Later career
As an actress, Dayne appeared in the 1997 sci fi television series Nightman as Carla Day. She has had roles in independent films such as Fool's Paradise (1997), Stag (also in 1997) and Jesus the Driver (2004), as well as the Warren Beatty produced 1994 remake of Love Affair. Dayne also had a recurring role on the Showtime series Rude Awakening. Dayne has performed alongside Marc Bonilla and Dragonchoir. She performed on Broadway in Elton John's Aida in 2001. In 2005, Dayne was featured in the VH1 series Remaking, which featured her close friends Leah Remini and Michelle Reid. The series documents Dayne's return to music after taking time off to have a family (she has twins via a surrogate mother), and premiered her newest song, "Right Now", a result of her collaboration with Rodney Jerkins. On December 11, 2007, Dayne released the first single, "Beautiful", from her studio album Satisfied. The song was written by Dayne and Hitesh Ceon of production team 3Elementz. Dayne promoted it on many radio stations, including New York's WKTU. "Beautiful" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts. She also appeared on The Today Show, Chelsea Lately, Wake Up With Whoopi and VH1. The music video for the single and the Satisfied album cover were shot by Tony Duran, who has also shot album covers for Justin Timberlake and Jennifer Lopez. Dayne released her fifth album, Satisfied, in February 2008—her first recording studio album in nearly a decade. The album includes both new material and recreations of some of her favorite contemporary songs. In 2008, Dayne performed at the Paralympic Games in Beijing, China. In May 2010, Dayne lobbied congressional leaders on Capitol Hill on behalf of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and VH1's Save The Music Foundation to reduce cuts in music education in America's schools. In July 2010, Dayne released "Facing a Miracle", the official theme song to the 2010 Gay Games. She performed the song to an audience of 50,000 on July 31, 2010, in Cologne, Germany. It ended the year at No. 9 on Perfect Beat's Top Worldwide Singles of 2010. Five years before, however, she had said: "In the eyes of the Kabbalah, [gays] can't be 'married.' That requires actual male and female energy and DNA. In the bigger picture, I think that 'marriage' is about a certain circuitry. I'm as married to my business manager as I would be any husband." Dayne remastered her Greatest Hits album. She released a new single, "Floor on Fire", on June 22, 2011, which broke the Billboard Dance/Club Charts Top 10. In 2011 2012, Dayne competed in Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook Off, reaching the semifinal round in episode 5 facing off against Lou Diamond Phillips for the final spot to represent Team Rachael. At the end of the episode, she lost to Joey Fatone in a runner up challenge to win $5,000 for charity. In the early 2010s, American stand up comedian Tig Notaro began referencing Dayne in her routine, telling stories of having frequent encounters with her. This was ultimately brought to the attention of Ira Glass, who enlisted Notaro to tell the story as part of a live event for This American Life. Dayne herself appeared at the end of the monologue during the event, singing "I'll Always Love You". In September 2014, Dayne released a new single, "Dreaming". In late 2020, Dayne competed on season 4 of The Masked Singer as "Popcorn". She made it to the semi finals of the competition before being unmasked in a triple elimination alongside Chloe Kim as "Jellyfish" and Tori Kelly as "Seahorse". In August 2022, Dayne competed on season 2 of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race under the drag name Electra Owl. Personal life
Dayne has never married. Dayne is a supporter of same sex marriage,
Dayne is Jewish. She grew up in Baldwin and Freeport, New York on Long Island. In 2021, after performing at a New Year party hosted at Mar a Lago by then president Donald Trump, Dayne declared "I try to stay non political." Discography

Тейлор Дейн, чьё настоящее имя Лесли Вундерман, родилась в Манхэттене, Нью-Йорк, и некоторое время жила в Бронксе, пока её семья не переехала на Лонг-Айленд, когда ей было два года. Она начала профессионально заниматься вокалом после окончания средней школы в Болдуине, округ Нассау, Нью-Йорк, выступая в малоизвестных рок-группах, таких как Felony и Next. После окончания колледжа она начала сольную карьеру и под именем Les Lee записала два танцевальных сингла: "I'm The One You Want" (1985) и "Tell Me Can You Love Me" (1986), которые были выпущены на нью-йоркском независимом лейбле Mega Bolt. Подписав контракт с Arista Records как Taylor Dayne, её первой песней, вошедшей в десятку лучших, стал танцевальный поп-хит "Tell It to My Heart" в конце 1987 года. Последовательность хитов с её первых двух альбомов, Tell It to My Heart (1988) и Can't Fight Fate (1989), стала пиком её карьеры. Позже Дейн самостоятельно записала и выпустила эту песню в 1998 году в качестве сингла из своего альбома Naked Without You. Альбом не попал в чарты, но Дейн продолжала выпускать хиты в танцевальных чартах в 2000-х годах.

Dayne has received two Grammy Award nominations, and has won an American Music Award, and multiple New York Music Awards. She has also received New York Hall of Fame honors and was ranked number 18 on Rolling Stone'''s list of the best female dance artists of all time. In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked her the 28th most successful dance artist of all time. Career
Early success
Taylor Dayne, whose birth name is Leslie Wunderman, was born in Manhattan, New York City, and lived briefly in another borough, The Bronx, until her family moved to Long Island when she was two years old. She began singing professionally after graduating from high school in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York, singing in little known rock bands such as Felony and Next. She began singing solo after finishing college and, under the name Les Lee, recorded two dance singles, "I'm The One You Want" (1985) and "Tell Me Can You Love Me" (1986), which were released on New York indie label Mega Bolt. Signed to Arista Records as Taylor Dayne, her first song to crack the top ten was the dance pop hit "Tell It to My Heart" in late 1987. The string of hits from her first two albums, Tell It to My Heart (1988) and Can't Fight Fate (1989), proved to be the peak of her career. Dayne later recorded and released the song herself in 1998 as a single from her album Naked Without You. That album failed to chart, but Dayne continued to have hits on the dance charts into the 2000s. Later career
As an actress, Dayne appeared in the 1997 sci fi television series Nightman as Carla Day. She has had roles in independent films such as Fool's Paradise (1997), Stag (also in 1997) and Jesus the Driver (2004), as well as the Warren Beatty produced 1994 remake of Love Affair. Dayne also had a recurring role on the Showtime series Rude Awakening. Dayne has performed alongside Marc Bonilla and Dragonchoir. She performed on Broadway in Elton John's Aida in 2001. In 2005, Dayne was featured in the VH1 series Remaking, which featured her close friends Leah Remini and Michelle Reid. The series documents Dayne's return to music after taking time off to have a family (she has twins via a surrogate mother), and premiered her newest song, "Right Now", a result of her collaboration with Rodney Jerkins. On December 11, 2007, Dayne released the first single, "Beautiful", from her studio album Satisfied. The song was written by Dayne and Hitesh Ceon of production team 3Elementz. Dayne promoted it on many radio stations, including New York's WKTU. "Beautiful" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts. She also appeared on The Today Show, Chelsea Lately, Wake Up With Whoopi and VH1. The music video for the single and the Satisfied album cover were shot by Tony Duran, who has also shot album covers for Justin Timberlake and Jennifer Lopez. Dayne released her fifth album, Satisfied, in February 2008—her first recording studio album in nearly a decade. The album includes both new material and recreations of some of her favorite contemporary songs. In 2008, Dayne performed at the Paralympic Games in Beijing, China. In May 2010, Dayne lobbied congressional leaders on Capitol Hill on behalf of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and VH1's Save The Music Foundation to reduce cuts in music education in America's schools. In July 2010, Dayne released "Facing a Miracle", the official theme song to the 2010 Gay Games. She performed the song to an audience of 50,000 on July 31, 2010, in Cologne, Germany. It ended the year at No. 9 on Perfect Beat's Top Worldwide Singles of 2010. Five years before, however, she had said: "In the eyes of the Kabbalah, [gays] can't be 'married.' That requires actual male and female energy and DNA. In the bigger picture, I think that 'marriage' is about a certain circuitry. I'm as married to my business manager as I would be any husband." Dayne remastered her Greatest Hits album. She released a new single, "Floor on Fire", on June 22, 2011, which broke the Billboard Dance/Club Charts Top 10.

В качестве актрисы Дейн появилась в научно-фантастическом телесериале 1997 года "Nightman" в роли Карлы Дей. Она снималась в независимых фильмах, таких как "Fool's Paradise" (1997), "Stag" (также в 1997 году) и "Jesus the Driver" (2004), а также в ремейке 1994 года "Любовная история" (Love Affair), спродюсированном Уорреном Битти. У Дейн также была повторяющаяся роль в сериале Showtime "Rude Awakening". Дейн выступала вместе с Марком Бонильей и Dragonchoir. В 2001 году она выступила на Бродвее в мюзикле Элтона Джона "Aida". В 2005 году Дейн появилась в сериале VH1 "Remaking", в котором участвовали её близкие подруги Лия Ремини и Мишель Рид. Сериал документирует возвращение Дейн к музыке после перерыва, связанного с созданием семьи (у неё близнецы, рожденные от суррогатной матери), и представляет её новую песню "Right Now", результат сотрудничества с Родни Джеркинсом. 11 декабря 2007 года Дейн выпустила первый сингл "Beautiful" со своего студийного альбома "Satisfied". Песня была написана самой Дейн и Хитешем Сеоном из продюсерской команды 3Elementz. Дейн продвигала его на многих радиостанциях, включая WKTU в Нью-Йорке. "Beautiful" возглавила Billboard Dance Charts. Она также появилась в The Today Show, Chelsea Lately, Wake Up With Whoopi и VH1. Музыкальное видео для сингла и обложка альбома "Satisfied" были сняты Тони Дюраном, который также снимал обложки альбомов для Джастина Тимберлейка и Дженнифер Лопес. В феврале 2008 года Дейн выпустила свой пятый альбом "Satisfied" — её первый студийный альбом почти за десятилетие. Альбом включает в себя как новый материал, так и переосмысление некоторых из её любимых современных песен. В 2008 году Дейн выступила на Паралимпийских играх в Пекине, Китай. В мае 2010 года Дейн лоббировала интересы Национальной ассоциации музыкальных торговцев (NAMM) и VH1's Save The Music Foundation перед лидерами Конгресса на Капитолийском холме, чтобы сократить сокращения в музыкальном образовании в американских школах. В июле 2010 года Дейн выпустила "Facing a Miracle" — официальный гимн Гей-игр 2010 года. Она исполнила песню перед аудиторией в 50 000 человек 31 июля 2010 года в Кёльне, Германия. В конце года песня заняла 9-е место в рейтинге Top Worldwide Singles of 2010 от Perfect Beat. Однако за пять лет до этого она заявила: "С точки зрения Каббалы [геи] не могут быть 'женаты'. Для этого требуется настоящая мужская и женская энергия и ДНК. В более широком смысле, я думаю, что 'брак' — это определенная схема. Я так же замужем за своим бизнес-менеджером, как и за любым мужем". Дейн переиздала свой альбом "Greatest Hits". 22 июня 2011 года она выпустила новый сингл "Floor on Fire", который вошел в Топ-10 чартов Billboard Dance/Club Charts. В 2011–2012 годах Дейн участвовала в кулинарном шоу "Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off", достигнув полуфинала в 5-м эпизоде, где она соревновалась с Лу Даймондом Филлипсом за место в команде Рэйчел. В конце эпизода она проиграла Джоуи Фатону в дополнительном конкурсе, чтобы выиграть 5000 долларов на благотворительность. В начале 2010-х американская стендап-комик Тиг Нотаро начала упоминать Дейн в своих выступлениях, рассказывая истории о частых встречах с ней. В конечном итоге это привлекло внимание Иры Гласса, который попросил Нотаро рассказать эту историю в рамках живого мероприятия для This American Life. Сама Дейн появилась в конце монолога во время мероприятия, исполнив песню "I'll Always Love You". В сентябре 2014 года Дейн выпустила новый сингл "Dreaming". В конце 2020 года Дейн участвовала в четвертом сезоне шоу "The Masked Singer" под маской "Popcorn". Она дошла до полуфинала конкурса, прежде чем её личность была раскрыта в тройном выбывании вместе с Хлоей Ким под маской "Jellyfish" и Тори Келли под маской "Seahorse". В августе 2022 года Дейн участвовала во втором сезоне "RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race" под именем Electra Owl.

Early success
Taylor Dayne, whose birth name is Leslie Wunderman, was born in Manhattan, New York City, and lived briefly in another borough, The Bronx, until her family moved to Long Island when she was two years old. She began singing professionally after graduating from high school in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York, singing in little known rock bands such as Felony and Next. She began singing solo after finishing college and, under the name Les Lee, recorded two dance singles, "I'm The One You Want" (1985) and "Tell Me Can You Love Me" (1986), which were released on New York indie label Mega Bolt. Signed to Arista Records as Taylor Dayne, her first song to crack the top ten was the dance pop hit "Tell It to My Heart" in late 1987. The string of hits from her first two albums, Tell It to My Heart (1988) and Can't Fight Fate (1989), proved to be the peak of her career. Dayne later recorded and released the song herself in 1998 as a single from her album Naked Without You. That album failed to chart, but Dayne continued to have hits on the dance charts into the 2000s. Later career
As an actress, Dayne appeared in the 1997 sci fi television series Nightman as Carla Day. She has had roles in independent films such as Fool's Paradise (1997), Stag (also in 1997) and Jesus the Driver (2004), as well as the Warren Beatty produced 1994 remake of Love Affair. Dayne also had a recurring role on the Showtime series Rude Awakening. Dayne has performed alongside Marc Bonilla and Dragonchoir. She performed on Broadway in Elton John's Aida in 2001. In 2005, Dayne was featured in the VH1 series Remaking, which featured her close friends Leah Remini and Michelle Reid. The series documents Dayne's return to music after taking time off to have a family (she has twins via a surrogate mother), and premiered her newest song, "Right Now", a result of her collaboration with Rodney Jerkins. On December 11, 2007, Dayne released the first single, "Beautiful", from her studio album Satisfied. The song was written by Dayne and Hitesh Ceon of production team 3Elementz. Dayne promoted it on many radio stations, including New York's WKTU. "Beautiful" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts. She also appeared on The Today Show, Chelsea Lately, Wake Up With Whoopi and VH1. The music video for the single and the Satisfied album cover were shot by Tony Duran, who has also shot album covers for Justin Timberlake and Jennifer Lopez. Dayne released her fifth album, Satisfied, in February 2008—her first recording studio album in nearly a decade. The album includes both new material and recreations of some of her favorite contemporary songs. In 2008, Dayne performed at the Paralympic Games in Beijing, China. In May 2010, Dayne lobbied congressional leaders on Capitol Hill on behalf of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and VH1's Save The Music Foundation to reduce cuts in music education in America's schools. In July 2010, Dayne released "Facing a Miracle", the official theme song to the 2010 Gay Games. She performed the song to an audience of 50,000 on July 31, 2010, in Cologne, Germany. It ended the year at No. 9 on Perfect Beat's Top Worldwide Singles of 2010. Five years before, however, she had said: "In the eyes of the Kabbalah, [gays] can't be 'married.' That requires actual male and female energy and DNA. In the bigger picture, I think that 'marriage' is about a certain circuitry. I'm as married to my business manager as I would be any husband." Dayne remastered her Greatest Hits album. She released a new single, "Floor on Fire", on June 22, 2011, which broke the Billboard Dance/Club Charts Top 10. In 2011 2012, Dayne competed in Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook Off, reaching the semifinal round in episode 5 facing off against Lou Diamond Phillips for the final spot to represent Team Rachael. At the end of the episode, she lost to Joey Fatone in a runner up challenge to win $5,000 for charity. In the early 2010s, American stand up comedian Tig Notaro began referencing Dayne in her routine, telling stories of having frequent encounters with her. This was ultimately brought to the attention of Ira Glass, who enlisted Notaro to tell the story as part of a live event for This American Life. Dayne herself appeared at the end of the monologue during the event, singing "I'll Always Love You". In September 2014, Dayne released a new single, "Dreaming". In late 2020, Dayne competed on season 4 of The Masked Singer as "Popcorn". She made it to the semi finals of the competition before being unmasked in a triple elimination alongside Chloe Kim as "Jellyfish" and Tori Kelly as "Seahorse".

Taylor Dayne, whose birth name is Leslie Wunderman, was born in Manhattan, New York City, and lived briefly in another borough, The Bronx, until her family moved to Long Island when she was two years old. She began singing professionally after graduating from high school in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York, singing in little known rock bands such as Felony and Next. She began singing solo after finishing college and, under the name Les Lee, recorded two dance singles, "I'm The One You Want" (1985) and "Tell Me Can You Love Me" (1986), which were released on New York indie label Mega Bolt. Signed to Arista Records as Taylor Dayne, her first song to crack the top ten was the dance pop hit "Tell It to My Heart" in late 1987. The string of hits from her first two albums, Tell It to My Heart (1988) and Can't Fight Fate (1989), proved to be the peak of her career. Dayne later recorded and released the song herself in 1998 as a single from her album Naked Without You. That album failed to chart, but Dayne continued to have hits on the dance charts into the 2000s. Later career
As an actress, Dayne appeared in the 1997 sci fi television series Nightman as Carla Day. She has had roles in independent films such as Fool's Paradise (1997), Stag (also in 1997) and Jesus the Driver (2004), as well as the Warren Beatty produced 1994 remake of Love Affair. Dayne also had a recurring role on the Showtime series Rude Awakening. Dayne has performed alongside Marc Bonilla and Dragonchoir. She performed on Broadway in Elton John's Aida in 2001. In 2005, Dayne was featured in the VH1 series Remaking, which featured her close friends Leah Remini and Michelle Reid. The series documents Dayne's return to music after taking time off to have a family (she has twins via a surrogate mother), and premiered her newest song, "Right Now", a result of her collaboration with Rodney Jerkins. On December 11, 2007, Dayne released the first single, "Beautiful", from her studio album Satisfied. The song was written by Dayne and Hitesh Ceon of production team 3Elementz. Dayne promoted it on many radio stations, including New York's WKTU. "Beautiful" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts. She also appeared on The Today Show, Chelsea Lately, Wake Up With Whoopi and VH1. The music video for the single and the Satisfied album cover were shot by Tony Duran, who has also shot album covers for Justin Timberlake and Jennifer Lopez. Dayne released her fifth album, Satisfied, in February 2008—her first recording studio album in nearly a decade. The album includes both new material and recreations of some of her favorite contemporary songs. In 2008, Dayne performed at the Paralympic Games in Beijing, China. In May 2010, Dayne lobbied congressional leaders on Capitol Hill on behalf of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and VH1's Save The Music Foundation to reduce cuts in music education in America's schools. In July 2010, Dayne released "Facing a Miracle", the official theme song to the 2010 Gay Games. She performed the song to an audience of 50,000 on July 31, 2010, in Cologne, Germany. It ended the year at No. 9 on Perfect Beat's Top Worldwide Singles of 2010. Five years before, however, she had said: "In the eyes of the Kabbalah, [gays] can't be 'married.' That requires actual male and female energy and DNA. In the bigger picture, I think that 'marriage' is about a certain circuitry. I'm as married to my business manager as I would be any husband." Dayne remastered her Greatest Hits album. She released a new single, "Floor on Fire", on June 22, 2011, which broke the Billboard Dance/Club Charts Top 10. In 2011 2012, Dayne competed in Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook Off, reaching the semifinal round in episode 5 facing off against Lou Diamond Phillips for the final spot to represent Team Rachael. At the end of the episode, she lost to Joey Fatone in a runner up challenge to win $5,000 for charity. In the early 2010s, American stand up comedian Tig Notaro began referencing Dayne in her routine, telling stories of having frequent encounters with her. This was ultimately brought to the attention of Ira Glass, who enlisted Notaro to tell the story as part of a live event for This American Life. Dayne herself appeared at the end of the monologue during the event, singing "I'll Always Love You". In September 2014, Dayne released a new single, "Dreaming". In late 2020, Dayne competed on season 4 of The Masked Singer as "Popcorn". She made it to the semi finals of the competition before being unmasked in a triple elimination alongside Chloe Kim as "Jellyfish" and Tori Kelly as "Seahorse". In August 2022, Dayne competed on season 2 of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race under the drag name Electra Owl. Personal life

Signed to Arista Records as Taylor Dayne, her first song to crack the top ten was the dance pop hit "Tell It to My Heart" in late 1987. The string of hits from her first two albums, Tell It to My Heart (1988) and Can't Fight Fate (1989), proved to be the peak of her career. Dayne later recorded and released the song herself in 1998 as a single from her album Naked Without You. That album failed to chart, but Dayne continued to have hits on the dance charts into the 2000s. Later career
As an actress, Dayne appeared in the 1997 sci fi television series Nightman as Carla Day. She has had roles in independent films such as Fool's Paradise (1997), Stag (also in 1997) and Jesus the Driver (2004), as well as the Warren Beatty produced 1994 remake of Love Affair. Dayne also had a recurring role on the Showtime series Rude Awakening. Dayne has performed alongside Marc Bonilla and Dragonchoir. She performed on Broadway in Elton John's Aida in 2001. In 2005, Dayne was featured in the VH1 series Remaking, which featured her close friends Leah Remini and Michelle Reid. The series documents Dayne's return to music after taking time off to have a family (she has twins via a surrogate mother), and premiered her newest song, "Right Now", a result of her collaboration with Rodney Jerkins. On December 11, 2007, Dayne released the first single, "Beautiful", from her studio album Satisfied. The song was written by Dayne and Hitesh Ceon of production team 3Elementz. Dayne promoted it on many radio stations, including New York's WKTU. "Beautiful" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts. She also appeared on The Today Show, Chelsea Lately, Wake Up With Whoopi and VH1. The music video for the single and the Satisfied album cover were shot by Tony Duran, who has also shot album covers for Justin Timberlake and Jennifer Lopez. Dayne released her fifth album, Satisfied, in February 2008—her first recording studio album in nearly a decade. The album includes both new material and recreations of some of her favorite contemporary songs. In 2008, Dayne performed at the Paralympic Games in Beijing, China. In May 2010, Dayne lobbied congressional leaders on Capitol Hill on behalf of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and VH1's Save The Music Foundation to reduce cuts in music education in America's schools. In July 2010, Dayne released "Facing a Miracle", the official theme song to the 2010 Gay Games. She performed the song to an audience of 50,000 on July 31, 2010, in Cologne, Germany. It ended the year at No. 9 on Perfect Beat's Top Worldwide Singles of 2010. Five years before, however, she had said: "In the eyes of the Kabbalah, [gays] can't be 'married.' That requires actual male and female energy and DNA. In the bigger picture, I think that 'marriage' is about a certain circuitry. I'm as married to my business manager as I would be any husband." Dayne remastered her Greatest Hits album. She released a new single, "Floor on Fire", on June 22, 2011, which broke the Billboard Dance/Club Charts Top 10. In 2011 2012, Dayne competed in Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook Off, reaching the semifinal round in episode 5 facing off against Lou Diamond Phillips for the final spot to represent Team Rachael. At the end of the episode, she lost to Joey Fatone in a runner up challenge to win $5,000 for charity. In the early 2010s, American stand up comedian Tig Notaro began referencing Dayne in her routine, telling stories of having frequent encounters with her. This was ultimately brought to the attention of Ira Glass, who enlisted Notaro to tell the story as part of a live event for This American Life. Dayne herself appeared at the end of the monologue during the event, singing "I'll Always Love You". In September 2014, Dayne released a new single, "Dreaming". In late 2020, Dayne competed on season 4 of The Masked Singer as "Popcorn". She made it to the semi finals of the competition before being unmasked in a triple elimination alongside Chloe Kim as "Jellyfish" and Tori Kelly as "Seahorse". In August 2022, Dayne competed on season 2 of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race under the drag name Electra Owl. Personal life
