Who is Teyana Taylor? 9 Things to Know About Kanye West’s ‘Fade’ Video Vixen (Photos)
Did Teyana Taylor’s performance in Kanye West’s “Fade” music video give you the feels? Well, TheWrap‘s now giving you the facts on the 25-year-old’s diverse career — and life.
Taylor describes herself as a “wife, mother, singer, dancer, actor” — but there is even more to the recording artist.
The GOOD Music singer made her national television debut on MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16.” By that time, the Harlem native was already signed to Pharrell Williams‘ Star Trak label. The two have seen parted ways, and Taylor now records for West, hence the participation in “Fade.”

No longer a teenager, Taylor has made it from the small screen to the big one, appearing in movies like “Madea’s Big Happy Family” and “Stomp the Yard 2,” among other flicks.
Taylor is engaged to Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player Iman Shumpert, so the “wife” part of her social media description isn’t quite accurate … yet. Like Shumpert’s teammate LeBron James, the multi-hyphenate Taylor even has her own shoe deal. Her first pair of Adidas Originals even became the fastest selling sneaker in history.
Taylor has two albums out: 2014’s “VII” and the following year’s “The Cassette Tape 1994.” The social media star already has more than 1.1 million Twitter followers.
