Taylor is the referee who officiated the Nations League final between Spain and France at the Giuseppe Meazza in Milan on October 10, 2021, in which the French side won 1-2 with a controversial goal by Kylian Mbappe.

Taylor was the referee of the Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma in Budapest in which the Andalusian team won the title after a penalty shootout, or the referee of the 2023 Club World Cup final in which Real Madrid defeated Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia 5-3.
