Former Fox Sports host Joy Taylor is proving she's still a major player in the sports world, even without a daily TV gig. On Tuesday morning, Taylor set social media ablaze with a series of swimsuit photos that have fans and followers doing a double take.
The snapshots, which she captioned "Sunset Chasing," show Taylor soaking up the golden hour in a stylish swimsuit. It's a look that screams summer, and clearly, Taylor isn't ready to let go of the season just yet.
Taylor's time at Fox Sports was nothing short of eventful. She spent nearly a decade with the network, first moderating the fiery debates on FS1's "Undisputed" alongside Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe, then moving on to co-host "Speak" with Emmanuel Acho. Her departure in early 2025 was clouded by a lawsuit from a former Fox Sports makeup artist, which alleged inappropriate relationships within the network. Taylor has not publicly addressed the claims, but she's remained a prominent figure in sports media circles.
Despite the controversy, Taylor's popularity hasn't waned. Her social media presence is strong, and fans are clearly eager for her to return to the spotlight. The swimsuit photos are just the latest reminder of her star power, and they've sparked plenty of chatter about what's next for the charismatic host.
While Taylor hasn't confirmed any new TV deals, she's been busy with her podcast, The Daily Play, which delivers quick, punchy takes on the biggest sports stories. In a statement about the project, Taylor explained her vision: "I wanted to create something fast, focused, and always authentic. Sports fans are busy, but they want the context behind the conversation. With The Daily Play, I'm giving them what it means and what to watch next—in just a few minutes." She added, "Joining Urban One allows me to talk directly to a loyal, engaged audience across the country. I'm excited to get back to my radio roots!"
Taylor's move to podcasting shows she's adapting to the changing media landscape, but fans are still hoping to see her back on TV, especially with the NFL season just around the corner. She's never been shy about sharing her opinions, as seen in her recent criticism of the NFL's push for an 18-game season. That kind of bold commentary is exactly what made her a fan favorite.
In the meantime, Taylor's swimsuit photos are a reminder that she's always in the game, whether she's on camera or not. It's a move that echoes the kind of social media moments we've seen from other sports personalities, like Paige Spiranac's viral swimsuit posts, which always get fans talking.
Will Joy Taylor make a full return to sports media? Only time will tell. But if her latest posts are any indication, she's not going anywhere quietly. With her podcast gaining traction and her undeniable on-screen charisma, it wouldn't be surprising to see her back in the broadcast booth sooner rather than later.
For now, fans can enjoy the sunset-chasing vibes and keep an eye out for what's next. Whether it's more social media moments or a major TV comeback, Taylor knows how to keep the spotlight on her.
