Teyana Taylor’s star has never shone brighter. Over the past year, the multi‑talented entertainer has marked one of the most remarkable seasons of her career, earning major nominations, landing high‑profile acting roles, and reestablishing her voice in music.
From commanding the big screen to delivering critically acclaimed performances on television and in film, Taylor is proving that her creative evolution is in full swing.
The multi-hyphenate star has become a standout of the current awards season thanks to her performance in “One Battle After Another”. Her role in the film has earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress, marking a breakthrough moment in her acting career.
The film’s cast has also received recognition during the awards circuit, further cementing Taylor’s place among Hollywood’s rising acting talents.
Her work on screen has continued to expand beyond one project. Over the past year, Taylor has appeared in several high-profile productions, including “Straw” and “All’s Fair”.
Music has also played a major role in her resurgence. In 2025, Taylor released her studio album “Escape Room”, which marked her official return to music after a lengthy hiatus. The project earned her a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, her first-ever Grammy nod, and was praised for its emotional depth and cohesive storytelling.
The album reaffirmed her influence within contemporary R&B and reminded fans why her voice and vision remain so impactful.
Taylor’s return to music was further amplified by a standout performance at the BET Awards, where she delivered one of the night’s most talked-about moments. The performance was widely viewed as a statement, not just of a comeback, but of creative confidence.
Beyond awards and releases, Taylor’s cultural impact has also been formally recognised. She was named Entertainer of the Year at the EBONY Power 100, an honour that celebrated her influence across music, film, fashion and visual culture.
With a Golden Globe nomination, a Grammy nomination, major film roles and renewed musical acclaim all within the same year, Teyana Taylor’s momentum is undeniable.
