THE PETALS ARE FALLING

Happy Monday! I have some bittersweet news for everybody. TEYANA TAYLOR aka The Beyoncé of my life has announced some of the last days we can see her perform. Admittedly, I’ve never been to one of her concerts, but if this is the last chance, I HAVE TO! Forget the greatest hits and the reunion tours – I need her now! Watch her conquer the entire building in this festival appearance in this next video. Then, let me know what city you’ll be in so we can go to the concert!

THE AUNTIE OF CREATIVITY IS GOING ON HER FINAL MUSIC TOUR!

HOW DO YOU KNOW TEYANA TAYLOR?

Some may know her as “Spike Tee”, “Mrs. Shumpert”, or even “the brat from Sweet 16” – whatever you call her, show some respect when you mention Teyana Me Shay Jacqueli Shumpert-Taylor’s name. This woman is the threat of all threats. Even if you don’t know all of the things she does, you know one out of being the singer, songwriter, choreographer, actress, director, model, mom and wife she is. We’ve seen her grow into an impeccable creative force from the time she was 16 years old and now she’s fearless. If you still don’t know what’s up… that’s exactly why she’s doing this tour.

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard….. However for every goodbye God makes the next hello closer.”

WHY IS THIS TEYANA’S LAST TOUR?

This year, Teyana announced that she would be calling it quits on her music tip. There’s always been a conversation of why Teyana Taylor is not as “that bitch” as she should be. Is it because she’s too dark or outspoken? Is she taking the wrong roles for her image? Whatever the reason, there should be no reason. The 30-year-old “Bare Wit Me” artist has said herself that she has to take a break for her mental health and for her children per the New York Daily News. So until she’s released from her label – she’s done. That was the warning and apparently they haven’t acted on their end so here we are. Apparently there is a lack of promotion from the G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam team. Just look at her most recently released Spotify number. Have you seen any type of promo for her latest album, “The Album”? I didn’t think so.

I constantly feel alone, I constantly feel under appreciated, I constantly feel failed, there is no push.”

AT THIS POINT IN TEYANA’S CAREER

Within the last week, Ms. Taylor announced additional shows. The good thing out of all of this is that we can still see her work through various other mediums. She was recently appointed the creative director of Pretty Little Thing and has been doing bug things with that decision. She’s been seen with some pretty dope celebrities thus far. Her collaborations, regarding any creative capacity, include the likes Big Sean, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Big Latto, Elton John, and others you may have never expected.

Come out and watch me, leave it all out on the stage… One last time… Just for you & as my last rose petal falls, I say farewell….”

My heart goes out to the whole #TeamTeyana because this was an emotional post for me! If no other blog will say it, I will – GIVE MRS. SHUMPERT HER FLOWERS!
