# Teyana Taylor's Triumph: First Grammy and Golden Globe Nods Prove Dreams Do Come True! Imagine grinding in the entertainment industry since age 15, retiring from music feeling under-appreciated, only to roar back with an album that lands your **first-ever Grammy and Golden Globe nominations**—that's Teyana Taylor's story, and it's pure inspiration.[1][2] At 35, this singer-songwriter-actress has been a force since signing her debut record deal as a teen. She built her name with early hits like "Google Me," guest spots on Kanye West's *My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy* (2010), and mixtapes that turned heads. Her third album, *The Album* (2020), cracked the Billboard 200 top 10 with collabs from Missy Elliott and Lauryn Hill. But burnout hit hard—she stepped away, feeling boxed in and overlooked, shifting to acting in films like *Coming 2 America* (2021) and *A Thousand and One* (2023).[1][2] Music wouldn't let her go. In August 2025, Taylor dropped her fourth studio album, **Escape Room**, on her own terms. Featuring stars like Erykah Badu, Kehlani, Lauryn Hill, Future, Rick Ross, Quavo, and Missy Elliott, it debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 and snagged a **Grammy nod for Best R&B Album** plus a **Golden Globe nomination**. In a candid chat with PEOPLE magazine, she shared: "I think what lured me back was just me coming back on my terms. All I ever wanted was to feel appreciated... I love to create and direct, so being able to come back to music in such a vulnerable way was very healing for me."[1]
