Taylor penned Dawes' track Never Gonna Say Goodbye while he was on tour in Detroit, — he initially didn't want to share the track, wanting only Mandy to hear it.
In 2018, he told the Blue Grass Situation: “That is the most sacred, private world that I would never dream of wanting any access to.
"So for me, I was like, ‘Man, this is a very vulnerable moment for me, to say 'I love you and I miss you'.
"It was just a quick thing and I didn’t really want everyone to be eavesdropping, you know?"
Marriage
Taylor and Mandy got married in 2018 after meeting on .
Mandy was an avid fan of Dawes and posted a picture of one of the band's albums to her Instagram page, writing: "Real excited about this one.
"He was punctual and arrived right on his due date, much to the delight of his parents.
"We were prepared to fall in love in all sorts of brand new ways, but it goes beyond anything we could have ever imagined."
The couple announced they were expecting their second child in an Instagram post on June 3, 2022.
While the exact date of birth for son number two — Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett Goldsmith — hasn't been reported, on October 21, 2022, Mandy posted a sweet snap of herself with her newborn on Instagram.
She captioned it: "Ozzie is here! Oscar Bennett Goldsmith arrived a little late but with much aplomb (and an easier/speedier delivery than his big brother, much to the delight of his parents).
"Every adage is true: our hearts have doubled in size and the immediacy of the love is astounding.
"He is beyond words and we are so grateful for our family of four!"
The couple's third child and first daughter — Louise "Lou" Everett Goldsmith — followed on September 25, 2025.
Mandy took to social media to write: "Louise Everett Goldsmith arrived happy, healthy, expeditiously and right in time for Virgo season.

In 2013, the band went on tour with Bob Dylan, one of Taylor's biggest inspirations.
Taylor's wife Mandy featured in The Dawes' music video for Roll With the Punches.
LA wildfires
A number of Mandy's family members were caught up the 2025 LA wildfires — with her own home escaping the flames by mere metres.
In January 2025, Mandy Moore told trolls to "F*** off" after setting up a GoFundMe page to help her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who lost their home in the LA wildfires.
Despite losing part of her own home, she faced criticism online, with some accusing her of not doing enough to help her own family financially.
Mandy posted on Instagram: “People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic.
“Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this GoFundMe, and I’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them.
"We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.”
Then the following month, after the devastating Eaton fire in Altadena that destroyed her in-laws' home, Mandy criticised Amazon for delivering a package to the levelled residence.
Show wrote on Instagram stories along with a picture of the package amid the debris: “Do better, Amazon.
"Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists?

Amazon has since apologised, stating that the company was investigating the incident.
