Ashley Smith (born Taylor Ashley Horn on October 12, 1992) is a former American singer-songwriter, actress and vlogger/blogger. Smith was also one-half of the English-American alternative punk duo The Trending (formerly Civlized Tears). Smith was formerly referred to Princess Bambi Monroe and Bambi Monroe briefly. She was once compared to fellow Kentwood native and singer Britney Spears by various media sources early on in her career; she was dubbed by English media as somewhat of a Britney wannabe or clone by the British media.

Smith was born in Redlands, California. In the course of her singing career, Smith has transitioned from performing country-western music to bubblegum pop to alternative punk rock music. Smith is an occasional actress, having appeared in an unaired PBS made-for-TV movie and two music videos for the band Civlized Tears, which she shot before she joined the band. In addition to her music, Smith also filmed videos as a makeup guru, started a now defunct clothing line called Punklicious and worked as a baby photographer for a short time. She married Civilized Tears/The Trending founder Tim Bennett Smith in 2009 and joined the band in 2011. Smith and her husband retired from music after her second child was born in 2015.

Smith was born in Redlands, California in 1992 to mother Angelina Johnson and an unknown father (last name Horn). She later moved to Kentwood, Louisiana on her grandparents, Ronald and Lesley Jones' farm at the age of six. She took an interest in singing after being gifted with an old karaoke machine by her aunt. Smith began singing locally in nursing homes, fairs, festivals and beauty pageants. She began writing songs at the age of nine and recorded her first album, taylor-made, a cover album of mostly country-western songs, in 2002. taylor-made became a minor hit in Great Britain. By 2004, she had written a country music single "There’s Somethin’ Wrong Here" and had recorded it in Nashville. During the same year, Smith made her first national television appearance on Access Hollywood. In 2004, she made a small appearance on Access Hollywood and released her first self-written single titled "There's Somethin' Wrong Here". She also filmed for the unaired PBS television film Artists in the Forest'.
