Naturally, she was quizzed on her own future during a chat with DAZN, the streaming service carrying the night's fight action.
Taylor has been linked with a blockbuster trilogy against Chantelle Cameron after beating her to become two-weight undisputed champion back in November.
The hope is that her next bout will once again be against the Northampton, with Croke Park the potential venue for it.
However, the 37-year-old admitted she is dreaming of stepping in the ring for a headliner at Las Vegas.

She said: "I would absolutely love to fight here someday.
"To headline a a huge show here in Vegas would be absolutely special. Vegas is nearly like the Mecca of boxing.
"This is where all the big fights happen. I have done Madison Square Garden. I've headlined the two shows back in Ireland but to headline somewhere here in Vegas would be very, very special as well."
As for who is next, KT will have plenty of options in terms of opponents.
However, a third bout against Cameron is the most likely, with it to take place - once again - at light welterweight.
While Taylor made her name as a dominant lightweight, she has moved to stay in the higher weight class after relinquishing her 135lb straps.
Asked about what was next, Taylor confirmed talks were underway for her next opponent but remained coy on whom that may be.
"I am here for the last few days, having meetings with Eddie [Hearn] over the last few days.
"There are definitely plenty of options out there but we will see what happens.
"Whoever it is it is going to be a huge fight. It is going to be an exciting night and this year could be the biggest year of my career."
