Teyana Taylor Reacts to First-Ever GRAMMY Nomination
Transcript
00:00Hey, girl!
00:02You look amazing.
00:04Sorry, I wasn't trying to skip you.
00:05I was trying to surprise my daughter.
00:07Hi, baby!
00:09Hi!
00:10I just asked Chase.
00:11I'm like, who is the woman in Hollywood you've been leaning on,
00:14especially on such a whirlwind year?
00:16And she said, you've been holding it down for her.
00:17That is my baby girl.
00:19Yeah.
00:20You see, I ain't seen nothing else when I seen her.
00:21I was like, ah!
00:22You did.
00:23I know.
00:24But now I heard she say, Grammy nomination.
00:25I said, oh, are you really?
00:26Oh, hey.
00:27Congratulations.
00:28Grammy nominated for the first time, which is wild.
00:31But I know how much that meant to you.
00:33Yeah.
00:34Have you been able to soak it in?
00:35And how are you feeling now?
00:36Honestly, I think I'm processing, you know?
00:38Because it's like everything happening at one time.
00:41Right.
00:42And all I can say is, Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank you
00:45and I praise you.
00:46You know what I'm saying?
00:47I'm filled with so much gratitude.
00:49Right.
00:50You know what I'm saying?
00:51And I'm so grateful.
00:52Yeah.
00:53You know what I'm saying?
00:54I'm just really trying to pace myself to say, this is really happening.
00:56Because I think sometimes when we work so hard and we go through so much and a lot of
01:01disappointments and happiness and sadness, you almost feel like, am I even worthy?
01:06It's like, is this really?
01:07This is mine?
01:08This nomination is mine?
01:10What happened?
01:11I remember when Beyonce won the album of the year and she was like.
01:14Cowboy Carter was like, what?
01:16Even Beyonce can't believe it sometimes.
01:18Yeah.
01:19You know what I'm saying?
01:20But that right there also shows like, that shit is real.
01:23You know what I'm saying?
01:24And in the moment, it might be a meme.
01:26But then it's like, when you're in that position to be like.
01:28It's a real human moment.
01:29It's like, that's a real human moment.
01:31And I swear to God, I'm like, I just, I didn't expect it.
01:34You know what I'm saying?
01:35Like, I kind of got numb to, to just like, expecting anything, you know, with what I give.
01:43You know what I'm saying?
01:44My job is to do my part and not worry about, like, everybody else doing their part.
01:48You know what I'm saying?
01:49You do it so well, but it's probably so nice to get a little pat on the back from your peers.
01:53Exactly.
01:54And it's not that I'm looking for a gold star or a gold trophy or anything.
01:56You know, it's to your point.
01:58It's just like, it feels good to be acknowledged for all the hard work that you put in, you know?
02:02And especially just 20 years in the industry of pouring into others.
02:06Right.
02:07You know what I'm saying?
02:08It feels good to be seen.
02:09Aren't you glad you didn't give up?
02:10I remember Janet being like, don't you quit, don't retire.
02:13I remember that.
02:14But you know what's crazy?
02:15Sometimes it's not even about giving up.
02:17It's just about shaking the table a little bit and understanding that you can walk away
02:20from things that are not serving you.
02:22You get what I'm saying?
02:23And when you're ready to go back, you can go back.
02:25And I think at that time, I walked away from something that wasn't serving me.
02:29And I blossomed something new.
02:32You feel what I'm saying?
02:33Like, I wouldn't be here if I didn't take that faith walk.
02:35If I didn't take that leap of faith, we probably wouldn't even be here.
02:38If Ryan didn't take a leap of faith on you guys for all's fair, you wouldn't have a hit on your hands.
02:42I feel like y'all are having the last laugh when it comes to those critics, don't you think?
02:45Oh, my God.
02:46Honestly, my sisters, I mean, it's a hit.
02:50The viewership is insane.
02:52The sisterhood that we gained from this is insane.
02:56Talk about women in Hollywood.
02:57We love one another.
02:58And it's just everything.
03:01You know what I'm saying?
03:02It's everything to go to work with people that you actually like.
03:05I think it's you, because I've seen it with one battle after another, too.
03:08You have these people who you work with who don't want to leave your side now.
03:10They're going to walk with you to the Grammys.
03:12You feel me?
03:13Honestly, like, every single female that I've worked with has just been, like, the way they love on me.
03:17And vice versa.
03:18You know what I'm saying?
03:19It's like just pouring in.
03:20And it's an energy.
03:22That's what I'm saying.
03:23Like, when you build that sisterhood, it's an energy.
03:24And you're building that community.
03:25I love your energy.
03:26Have fun tonight.
03:27Congratulations.
03:28Bye.
03:29Bye.
