Teyana Taylor was honoured at the 2026 Grammy Awards after 18 years in the music industry.
The multifaceted artist received her first Grammy nomination in the Best R&B Album category for her project Escape Room. Taylor’s journey began with her debut single, “Google Me,” from the mixtape From a Planet Called Harlem.
“Everything is happening, everything I ever dreamed of. [It’s] one answered prayer after another,” Taylor told People, reflecting on her career and challenges. This nomination comes five years after she considered leaving music, making her recognition especially meaningful.
To mark this milestone, Teyana Taylor made a bold statement on the red carpet in a shimmering gold chainmail gown by Tom Ford. The gown’s asymmetric design and open style highlighted her physique and conveyed confidence and poise.
