Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Taylor Anderson-Heide (née Taylor Anderson) began curling at a young age alongside her identical twin sister, Sarah Anderson. The sisters pursued their passion for the sport throughout their upbringing. Anderson attended Marple Newtown Senior High School before enrolling at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Business, Management, Marketing and Related Support Services.
Anderson is a U.S. national champion, securing titles in 2019 and 2021. In 2019, playing lead for Team Sinclair, she contributed to their victory at the U.S. Women's National Championship, which led to their participation in the World Women's Curling Championship that year.
Anderson's early curling career was marked by her participation in the London 2012 Youth Olympic Games, where she played lead for Team USA, skipped by Korey Dropkin. The team finished in fifth place. She also competed in the mixed doubles event at the Youth Olympics, paired with Great Britain's Duncan Menzies, reaching the quarterfinals. In 2016, she won a silver medal at the world junior championships, playing second for Team USA.
