Teyana Taylor announced a hiatus from music in 2020, citing feelings of being unappreciated within the industry. During this period, she focused on acting, securing a Golden Globe-winning role. Taylor expressed her ambition to become a great actress and director.
By 2025, Taylor felt ready to return to music, having experienced significant personal growth. She explained to TIME that she had "something to talk about," including love, heartbreak, and healing. These experiences were partly shaped by her divorce in 2023 and a new relationship in 2025.
Her renewed musical efforts culminated in the album 'Escape Room,' released on August 22, 2025. The album achieved moderate success, debuting at number 67 on the Billboard 200, and earned a Grammy nomination for best R&B album. Taylor's future aspirations now include achieving an EGOT.
Taylor, who is currently divorced from Iman Shumpert with whom she has two children, has found new romance with Aaron Pierre in 2025. She is determined to achieve the EGOT, playfully stating that if she doesn't win a Tony, the 'T' will stand for Teyana.
