Everyone is going gaga over Kanye West‘s new video ‘Fade’ but more specifically, Teyana Taylor’s moves in it.

Since then, Taylor’s had bit parts in a few movies, offered vocals on Kanye West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” album, and dropped her first studio album in 2014.
For those who missed out on the debut, the project features a scantily clad Teyana Taylor dancing in a gym with sweat dripping down her insane physique. The dancer’s titillating performance in Kanye West’s “Fade” video, which premiered during the awards, immediately had viewers studying it frame-by-frame like the Zapruder film for clues that might shed light on its weird cat makeup/sheep ending. He’s a genius and you know he just got something up his sleeve.
He also poked fun at his 2009 interruption of Swift’s MTV VMAs acceptance speech, the night she defeated Beyoncé, by saying he couldn’t complain if his “Famous” lost out to Beyoncé this year because “I’m always wishin’ for Beyoncé to win”. “I put Ray J in it, bro!” he said, laughing some more. First, he laid into that phone call with Taylor Swift, but this is something of pure legendary status. “It’s going to be chic, ‘” she said.
On the freakish “catface” moment that concludes the clip, Taylor said: “[Kanye] was just like, “I’m going to put you in this cat face. “I keep it really real, I don’t like to lie and say I work out, three, four times a week”. Like you seeing people dying right next to you, you might feel like, what’s the point? “But it was dope that I was able to really sit back and really take in the whole moment”. Standing in front of his idol, Puff Daddy. “All in all, it just came together really well”.

Taylor is also engaged to Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert, who also makes a cameo in “Fade” with their daughter. However, if you didn’t, just log into Tidal – the video is already there waiting for you to watch it again and again.
