Music Connects

On July 10, Taylor Clark of St. John, Kansas, a senior at Kansas State University majoring in Music Education, was crowned Miss Kansas 2021. As Miss Kansas, Taylor will make over 400 appearances during her year-of-service, many of them motivational presentations to students in Kansas schools. Taylor’s social impact initiative is Sound for Common Ground: Music Connects. Her focus for this initiative is to break down barriers and have courageous conversation around inequities, hardships and unforeseen circumstances.

Throughout her year-of-service, Taylor will work to connect her social impact initiative with the Miss America and Miss Kansas Organizations. She will serve as an ambassador, representing the organization across the State of Kansas.

Taylor will represent Kansas at the 2021 Miss America Competition to be broadcasted live on NBC from the Mohegan Sun Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut in December of 2021. She will perform a drum solo for her talent and compete with 50 other young women from across the nation for the title of Miss America 2022.
