Teyana Taylor Makes the BET Awards Her ‘Escape Room’ in Fiery Performance

Teyana Taylor took the stage at the BET Awards to perform her latest single “Long Time” and a seemingly unreleased track on an artful and complex set

After ending her five-year hiatus from music this month, Teyana Taylor took the stage at the BET Awards to perform her latest single “Long Time” and a seemingly unreleased track on an artful and complex set. Wore red from head to toe as she glided across the stage to a new track where she sings, “It’s cold outside, but inside I’m on fire.” Then, actor Taraji P. Henson made a surprise appearance as a narrator, floating from near the ceiling in a floor-length white gown. Of course, Taylor has had a long and sweeping career, from choreographing Beyoncé’s “Ring the Alarm” music video at just 16 years old, to signing with Pharrell’s Star Trak imprint before a stint with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D.
