She started 2018 also winning the 2018 European Open Championship again in both her weight category and the absolute category.[1] Tayane missed the 2018 Pan Ams but came back after a slight injury to win her category and the absolute at the 2018 Brazilian Nationals.[2] She then followed that by once again winning her category and the absolute at the 2018 World Championships.

Tayane began training in 2010 at Mestre Márcio Rodrigues academy. In 2014 she moved to train with Mestre Alexandre Paiva at the 12x World Champions Alliance Jiu Jitsu Club in Rio de Janeiro.[3]
