Skylar Grey is presently engaged to Elliot Taylor. They met when they were both participants on the MTV reality television series The City. After appearing on the show, they decided to go out together. They first became known to TV audiences in August 2008 when they appeared on an episode of The City titled "City vs. Country". During this episode, it was revealed that they were both from Los Angeles and had never lived in the city before. They also shared some intimate details about their personal lives on the show, which caused many viewers to feel like they knew them even though they had only just met. In April 2009, it was announced that Grey would be leaving The City to focus on her career and move back in with her parents. After she left the show, Grey began working on her debut album. The first single released from the album, "Candy Girl", was written by Grey, Jonas Jeberg and Terry Lewis. The song became a hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart, reaching number one. In January 2010, Grey came out with her own version of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" called "Telemarketer".
