TikTok star, Taylor Rousseau Grigg, has tragically died at the tender age of 25, her husband confirmed. Her grieving spouse, Cameron Grigg, took to Instagram on Saturday morning to share the devastating news.
He started his lengthy post with: “No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age.”
He went on to reveal that his wife had “dealt with more pain and suffering” in the past year than “people do in a lifetime.”
His emotional tribute was accompanied by a series of photos featuring the couple, from playful selfies and engagement snaps to wedding pictures and a glimpse of their Halloween costumes from a year ago. In his announcement, Cameron disclosed that “her earthly body” was being preserved for organ donation.
“She doesn’t owe anyone, anything. But she would want everyone to know that she’s more than ok,” he wrote, according to Mirror US. “While her earthly body is still here waiting to give the gift of life, we know her spirit is in heaven dancing in the streets made of gold with all her beauty and grace,” he added, reports the Mirror.
The bereaved husband expressed his faith, saying: “I cling to the fact of knowing that we will be seeing her again! And we will be able to spend all of eternity together! “.

Cameron also shared a link to a GoFundMe page. “With this being so sudden and unexpected we don’t have anything financially in order,” he explained, “Taylor has been in and out of the hospital since we got married which has affected our financial situation, therefore we don’t have any insurance.”
The circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear.
The GoFundMe page has so far raised over $21,000 towards its $100,000 target.
He also posted the post to his Instagram Story alongside the message: “I love you thissssssssssssss much,” with a white heart emoji. He added George Strait’s Baby Blue tune to the upload.
He went on to post memories of the pair together, including a video of them doing the ‘tortilla challenge’ where they hit each other with the food while their mouths were full and tried not to laugh.
Taylor, who had amassed 1.4 million followers on TikTok, regularly posted videos showcasing her daily life, shopping hauls from retailers like HomeGoods and Dollar Tree, and occasionally featured her husband. Her final TikTok video documented a vet visit with her dog, while her last Instagram post, six weeks ago, celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary.
