The defender dislocated and broke his ankle in three places against Sunderland at the beginning of September and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
The Wales international credited the club for standing by him after suffering such a devastating and long-term injury.
"We spoke about a new contract before I broke my ankle, but when something like that happens you do wonder what will be," Taylor told the club's official website.
"But in fairness to the chairman (Huw Jenkins) he texted me the day after the injury and told me not to worry about the contract. Full credit to the club, they have been as good as their word.
"Both myself and the club are happy with it. I see my long-term future here - everything is right for me.
"I love the style of football, the area and the fans, who have been great to me. And, more importantly, my family is happy here.
"The club is still on the rise. To reach the dizzy heights of seventh or eighth in the Premier League is amazing, especially when you consider where the club was just seven years ago.
"I am convinced we will still be in the Premier League next season. For a club like ours to have three consecutive campaigns at this level will an unbelievable achievement."
