Bambi Monroe

Bambi Monroe Smith (born Taylor Ashley Horn on October 12, 1992 in Redlands, California) is an American singer-songwriter, actress and vlogger/blogger. Monroe is also one-half of the English-American alternative punk duo The Trending (formerly Civlized Tears). Monroe was formerly referred to Princess Bambi Monroe briefly. She was once compared to fellow Kentwood native and singer Britney Spears by various media sources early on in her career; she was dubbed by English media as somewhat of a Britney wannabe or clone by the British media.

Throughout her singing career, Monroe has transitioned from performing country-western music to bubblegum pop to alternative punk rock music. Monroe is an occasional actress, having appeared in an unaired PBS made-for-TV movie and two music videos for the band Civlized Tears, which she shot before she joined the band. In addition to music, Monroe also films videos as a makeup guru and works as a baby photographer. She married The Trending founder Tim Bennett Smith in 2009 and joined the band in 2011.
