The Braxtons are infamous for performing impromptu songs. They could harmonize without practicing. The sisters gave fans dozens of singing moments over the years.

For the first seasons of Braxton Family Values, Traci struggled to move on from past hurt of not being able to sign a record deal with her sisters. In the early 90s, Traci was unable to sign a deal with Towanda, Trina, and Tamar due to being pregnant with her son. She chose to raise her family instead. During the course of the show, fans watched as Traci recorded and released two solo albums. She also appeared on the family's 2016 Christmas EP. Getting her moment in music was rewarding for not just Traci, but also her fans.

Viewers loved Traci for her unfiltered personality. One moment that made national news outside of the show was when she attended an event for former First Lady Michelle Obama and yelled out 'Hey Michelle' when Obama noticed her.

Though Traci nor anyone in her family discussed her cancer diagnosis publicly, there were signs that she was ill. Last year, she shared a photo of her attending her son's wedding. Many fans commented on her weight loss.
