Kim Kardashian took to Twitter this morning to say what we were all thinking about the star of Kanye West‘s “Fade” music video, Teyana Taylor.

“I was so nervous [about “Fade”] because it was really a do-or-die moment”, Taylor explained.
Teyana signed with Pharrell William’s Star Trak Entertainment label in 2007 under Universal Music Group.
So what else do you need to know about Teyana Taylor?? “That’s why I called her”, he remarked.
The track, “Fade”, pulses along in the background while Teyana does her thing in a gym setting.
When the news came that Kanye West had four minutes to do whatever he wanted at the VMAs, we were intrigued. “She has worked her way into that, and she’s in a great position right now in her life”.
They have a child together, and he proposed to her at her royalty-themed baby shower. Then, she’s completely naked in the shower with Shumpert and the scene is almost pornographic. Interestingly, it was both the bond between mother and daughter, and artist and protege that allowed her to make peace with showing off her body in such an intimate, vulnerable way.
It doesn’t end there – turns out Taylor is just like you and me when it comes to getting guilt tripped by personal trainers, too. “I trusted Kanye 100 percent”. The whole video is deeper than people probably processed it. (You might even remember “Google Me” from all the way back in 2008.) As for those acting skills? “He started playing his album and I start humming and doing some little runs to what I’m hearing on the sly tip”, Taylor told Complex in 2012. I think it really is about her coming into her fierceness. Teyana Taylor performs onstage during the VH1 Hip Hop Honors, July 11, 2016 in New York City. I wish I had time, but I have an actual gym to get to.

She also wants to work on the follow-up to her last album, and continue her acting career.
