The 2010 follow-up Diamonds in the Dirt charted at numbers 34 and 13, respectively, before 2012's Almost Always Never reached the Independent Albums Chart top 20 and topped the Jazz & Blues Albums Chart. After her first live album Songs from the Road in 2013, Taylor released The Dirty Truth on Axehouse Music, which registered on the main UK Albums Chart for the first time in her career, peaking at number 41. Wild, also on Axehouse, gave the musician her first UK top 20 when it peaked at number 19.
In 2019, Taylor released Reckless Heart as her only album on Silvertone Records, reaching the UK top 20 again and breaking the Scottish Albums Chart top 10 for the first time. After signing with Joe Bonamassa's label Keeping the Blues Alive, Taylor released The Blues Album in 2021, which reached number 56 in the UK and again made it into the Scottish top 10. The guitarist and singer's second live album Blues from the Heart Live followed in 2022, topping the UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart and reaching the UK Independent Albums Chart top 10. Nobody's Fool, Taylor's eighth studio album, was her first not to register on the UK Albums Chart since Almost Always Never, despite having been at number 44 in the midweek chart update. The album still reached the Independent Albums Chart top 10 and the Jazz & Blues Albums Chart top spot.
