Taylor will actually make one of her first major appearances since the August tragedy, over New Years Eve at the Ciroc/Bravo event. It was something that I had decided to do a while before the tragedy occurred, Taylor explained of how her participation in the event came about. I wanted to honor that commitment; it was important to me. I do have to get on with my life at some point, she continued. At that point, it will have been quite some time. I feel like New Years Eve is a time for new beginnings, and a time to set goals for the future. I think thats a good landmark for me.
