Years later Lauryn Hill a childhood friend who was well aware of Tara's talents invited her to sing on her album "The Mis-education of Lauryn Hill", and accompany her on the following world tours. Since then Tara has sung background vocals on “Get Lifted” and gone on three world tours with long time friend John Legend who she has worked with since his early days directing the choir.
