Her mother, Božica Malević, worked as a TV presenter and her father, Zoran Tairović, is an academic painter.[3][4] Tairović has been dancing since the age of three, when she started ballet school, and won second place at the World Championship in Show Dance. She trained in standard and Latin American dances, ballet and jazz ballet. She graduated from the Gymnasium Svetozar Marković, and then entered the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Novi Sad.

Career

2013-2016: Zvezde Granda and career beginnings

Tairović released her first song called "Da si moj" in 2014; however, the song did not meet greater audience reactions, until 2015 when she appeared on the singing competition show Zvezde Granda, after she already participated in the competition once in 2013. She sang songs by Severina, Ana Nikolić, Tijana Dapčević, Jelena Karleuša, Aleksandra Radović, Nina Badrić, and others. In the final, she sang the song "Ti ne znaš kako je" by Nina Badrić and "Plamen od ljubavi" by Colonia. She did not make it to the superfinals, but the production gave her a recording of the song called "Karakerna osobina", which was also the second single of her career. In November 2016, she released her third song "Meni odgovara". Her third single "Igračica" was released in April of next year. Following "Igračica", she released five more singles before the end of the year.

The single "Nevolja" was written and produced by the Bosnian duo Buba Corelli and Jala Brat. In June 2017, she recorded a duet with Šaban Šaulić called "Od kad tebe znam". In September 2017, she released a collaboration "Idu dani" with the rapper Rimski. The music and lyrics were authored by Rimski and Filip Mladenović. She recorded the song "Drama" with the Macedonian folk singer Menil Velioski, which showcased a change in Tairović's sound. Towards the end of the year, Tea released her first ballad "I u dobu i u zlu". Ahead of the summer 2018, Tairović released a duet with Ivana Krunić called "Brat na brata". Several months later, she released a collaboration with DJ Shone called "Medikament". She released the self-written single called "Polako" in January 2019.

"Hajde" has so far collected over 86 million views on YouTube, thus becoming one of the top 10 most listened to songs in the Balkans. The song also later became Tairović's first entry on Billboard's newly introduced Croatia Songs chart.
