Teyana Taylor's New Album Teaser Featuring Rumored Boo Aaron Pierre Has Internet Hot and Bothered!
Online chatter of Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre's potential romance hit a peak over the weekend thanks to a brand new teaser drop. And believe us when we tell you, it's almost too hot to handle!
For a little bit of background, talks on the rumored relationship between the two sparked back March after the two posted pictures of them looking hella sexy. Even prior to that, the two were spotted seated together at an awards show looking a bit more than friendly. As a result, people began speculating on whether or not the two were really an item or if it was merely a sensual buildup to something bigger.
Well, over the weekend, it seems people got their answer when Taylor dropped stellar visuals featuring Pierre and fellow actor LaKeith Stanfield in promotion for her forthcoming album, 'Escape Room.' In it, Taylor can be seen happily getting married to Stanfield's character and them experiencing marital bliss before things go awry. Enter Pierre (looking mighty fine) and things take a supremely sexy turn–specifically one that involves a shower.
Fair warning, there's some great vibes here. You've been warned.
Naturally, as the video began to circulate on social media, many were taken aback (positively and hilariously) at how good Taylor and Pierre look.
'An album where LaKeith and Aaron Pierre get to be the love interests I'm singing about. Oh, Teyana Taylor, you'll always be mother! This is manifestation,' wrote one user on X/Twitter.
'Oh look at me, I'm Teyana Taylor, I'm absolutely gorgeous, talented, killer body, gorgeous kids, fly af and I'm getting turned out by Aaron Pierre…,girl go to hell' said another.
'i keep coming back to this post bc what genuine fucking reason does aaron pierre have to be as fine as he is?? and he gets teyana too?? oh he is GREEDY,' one other user said.
Added another, 'Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre want me DEAD.'

Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd And Teyana Taylor Talk 'Straw' Film
Teyana Taylor, Sherri Shepherd and Taraji P. Henson attend Tyler Perry's "Straw" screening at The ... More Plaza on June 3, 2025 in New York City, New York. 'It's something about people who exist in a world that's really populated, who feel unseen. I have such a soft space in my heart for those people.' That is what Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson had to say, regarding her involvement in the new Netflix film, Tyler Perry's Straw, which tells the story of Janiyah, a single mother who has to deal with an unbearable amount of challenges and ultimately finds herself caught up in a perceived bank robbery with a hostage situation. 'It's almost like giving a voice to the voiceless - and so, that drove me to want to do this film.' Taraji P. Henson in Tyler Perry's "Straw" Co-starring Sherri Shepherd and Teyana Taylor, I wondered what initially intrigued them to play Nicole and Detective Raymond in Straw, two of very few characters in the film that actually show some compassion towards Janiyah's difficult circumstances. Teyana Taylor in Tyler Perry's "Straw" Following me taking a moment to express some professional praise for their ever-expanding careers at the start of our conversation, Taylor said, 'I mean, look at this. You started this interview off just giving us our flowers and seeing us and feeling us, and we appreciate that so much. I think that's kind of what we were fighting for in this movie - to be seen, to be heard - to know that it was okay to feel. I think it got us together to form this sisterhood between strangers, because one thing we definitely had in common, or a few things we had in common, we were all mothers and Black women, which you know, Black women are the least protected. So, that compassion and that empathy and that patience and that grace was so necessary. It was so needed in this film.' Sherri Shepherd in Tyler Perry's "Straw" Shepherd added: 'Each of us were fighting to be seen. Nicole was fighting to be seen. She left a lucrative job at a bank in an affluent neighborhood because she wasn't seen. She wanted to be seen to make a difference. She was fighting for that. Janiyah came along and she was able to fight for Janiyah. Teyana's character Detective Raymond, even in authority, she was fighting to be seen. They were taking her position away from her. We were all in our own way fighting to be seen and it formed this bond between us three.' With Henson's character Janiyah finding herself in a sticky situation with law enforcement, while trying to protect and care for her ailing daughter, what does the actor hope that Straw viewers will take away from seeing this film play out? Taraji P. Henson in Tyler Perry's "Straw" 'I hope that they see that humans are humans, no matter what color of skin or what religious background or sexual orientation. We are all trying to do our best with the cards that we are dealt. Every last one of us are trying to do our very best, and at the end of the day, humans need humans. We can't do this thing called life alone. We need each other.' When speaking about her favorable experience working alongside Perry again, as well as on-screen with Taylor and Shepherd, Henson said, 'Tyler, I just have such an incredible respect for him and I enjoy working with him. I am always so excited when he calls me and he says he has something for me, because I know it's going to be good, but I also know he's challenging me. With every script he sent me, he stepped it up a notch every time. I always look forward to that call from him.' Tyler Perry and Taraji P. Henson at Tyler Perry's "Straw" screening at The Plaza on June 3, 2025 in ... More New York City, New York. Henson added: 'I loved working with Sherri Shepherd in this light because we all know her as the comedian, the funny Sherri, and I know I always think that comedians make really good dramatic actors, and she did her thing in this. Teyana Taylor is just something special. That woman checks every talent box. She leaves nothing on the table. I can't wait for you to see the things that she has coming. She's amazing. The only problem I have is that I had no scenes with her until the very end. So, I need a do-over with Teyana Taylor.' Teyana Taylor, Sherri Shepherd and Taraji P. Henson speak on-stage during Netflix's Upfront 2025 on ... More May 14, 2025 in New York City, New York. With Henson, Shepherd and Taylor all playing mothers in the Netflix movie and being actual mothers themselves, I was curious what each of them would like to say to other mothers within our real world, who are working hard to take care of their children. Taylor said, 'We see you. We love you. We value you. We cherish you and that you are not alone, and we got you. I definitely hope that's what they take from this. This movie is a love letter to women, especially mothers. So hopefully, they do get to see a different side, which you're not used to maybe seeing a detective be compassionate and empathetic. So, I think it's dope to see how much compassion is in this movie, how much empathy is in this movie and how much patience is in this movie between women. The men were very egotistical in this film and no one really showed up. So, we had to show up for each other. All we got, as Black women, is each other.' Teyana Taylor in Tyler Perry's "Straw" Shepherd said, 'As single moms, your children so need you. The way our ancestors did - they came over, they were taken, and I know they had to say, 'It's got to get better for the people who are coming behind us.' You're a mother - your first assignment is your child. Just keep believing that it will get better. Keep manifesting that. You are seen and create a village. Find people to be in your village because we're not meant to go at this alone.' Sherri Shepherd in Tyler Perry's "Straw" Henson said with struggling single mothers in mind, 'I see you. I once was you. I understand what you are up against, but I want you to know that you are not alone. You are never alone. You don't have to suffer in silence. Speak up for yourself. Find someone who sees you, because there are other humans out here, that they may not be able to write you a check, but just to sit and listen and empathize and hear you - that can save someone's life. Error on the side of kindness when you interact with strangers, because you never know what a person is going through. You never know the battles that they are fighting. I've known so many people to not be here and die by suicide because they felt alone, and that should never be the case.' Taraji P. Henson in Tyler Perry's "Straw" As I concluded our conversation about Straw, I wondered what Henson would say to her main character, Janiyah, after embodying her in this Netflix film and understanding who she is. Henson said, 'That I'm proud of her. I'm proud of her for doing the best she can. I'm proud of her for doing the best that she could, and I see you and I love you. I feel like that's all she ever needed to hear.'

Taraji P. Henson and more on their heart-wrenching performances in Tyler Perry's Straw
Taraji P. Henson, Teyana Taylor and Sherri Shepherd star in the newest Tyler Perry film, Straw. The movie explores a single mother who suffers through a chaotic day and snaps. Tyler explains that his films paint a picture of the pain and the joy Black women face. _________________________________________________________________________ You never really know what the next person is going through, until they've reached their breaking point. Tyler Perry's latest dramatic project is the Netflix film Straw, which delves into the world of Janiyah, played by Taraji P. Henson, a single mother who is just doing her best to get by and survive a day that spirals into chaos. Taraji puts her all into bringing to life a character that suffers through a day no one would wish on their worst enemy, from being evicted to experiencing a terrifying police encounter and getting fired from her job. At the end of it all, she snaps.

'All humans want to be seen and that was her struggle. Because she was going through so much, she felt very much alone and it was beautiful to know. It's unfortunate that she had to go through so much and to be pushed to her breaking point for her to finally be seen and it was by two other incredible Black women. 'I think that gave her a reason to live because after a while it's like, 'why am I even here?' That's why its important humans are seen ... For someone to say, 'I see you, I understand', can save a life,' Taraji says. The many layers of Black women Written, directed and produced by Tyler Perry, the famed filmmaker is no stranger to highlighting the plight of Black women and the struggles they face in their daily lives. Tyler is known for hit films like Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Mea Culpa, Why Did I Get Married? and more. With many of the themes in his films exploring the good, the bad and ugly that Black women have to face on a daily, many people critique the consistently heavy and traumatising experiences Black women are subjected to in his films. This is what Tyler had to say about those critiques. 'I say nothing to those people who think that my films focus on the struggle of Black women because they're right, it does. Let me tell you something, if I get an opportunity to put a Black woman onscreen for people to see them in love, happy, in joy, in pain, in struggle - what I'm doing is a service to all people, so that people will know that Black women are not just strong and one thing. They're all things and they go through all of these different things. 'So, to have an opportunity to be able to paint all of these pictures and all sides of us is something that I'm paying homage to my mother, to my aunt, to my sisters and friends and cousins and the things they all went through, so that's what I'll say to that. When it comes to Straw, Tyler says, '[Janiyah] says in the film, 'Nobody sees me', well, this is about people seeing this group of people who everybody has ignored for so long.' I had to commit to what was on the page, commit to the choices I made and believe it. And then I had the guidance of this great mind here, Tyler Perry, who makes me feel uninhibited. When I get on his set, I feel nurtured and I feel safe and when I'm safe, I'll take risks. Taraji P. Henson The littlest support can save a life Taraji's character is supported by phenomenal performances by actors Sherri Shepherd and Teyana Taylor, who play the bank manager Nicole who has been taken hostage by Janiyah and Detective Raymond, the officer negotiating with her, respectively. Sherri tells us more about what resonated with her about her character. 'The fact that my character, Nicole, actually saw Janiyah and she left where she was working at before in an affluent area to come down to the neighbourhood because she wanted to make a difference and here was a woman walking in who just had the weight of the world on her shoulders. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tyler Perry (@tylerperry) 'And I remember there was a line where I said, 'I see you, I know you and I've seen you walk in here with your daughter', and how we connected in our motherhood lane. I wanted to get home to my family, and I wanted her to get home to her family. There had to be a way to work this out, so to be able to connect with Detective Raymond and see her calm down. So, it was just like, in that moment of connection, sisterhood. I love anything about sisterhood, so it was a sisterhood connection for me.' Teyana's character, Detective Raymond, becomes a lifeline for Janiyah. Teyana explains, 'We've seen these type of women, we've been these type of women, we are these type of women. So, it's easy to put your sauce on it when it's just like, wow, to be a mother and to know that you would do anything for your baby, how can you not dive into that as a mother? How can you not dive into these characters as a Black woman? In spaces we don't feel seen and things like that. 'So, this role I wouldn't even say was challenging, it was more of an exhale. It was really a safe space to be able to really take my cape off and feel and be okay with not being okay and putting that all into this character.'

‘Tyler Perry's Straw' Review: The Accidental Bank Robber
In 'Tyler Perry's Straw,' Janiyah (Taraji P. Henson), a single mom in Atlanta, is having a very, very, very bad day. Her morning was already ragged when the writer-director piles onto her woes a demeaning landlord, a bullying boss, a distant school administrator, a line of disgruntled grocery customers and a road-raging, off-duty police officer. Did we mention that Janiyah winds up in the wrong office at the wrong time in the wrong state of mind? As detectives arrive to a bloody crime scene at the grocery store where she clerks, Janiyah is across the parking lot at her bank, trying to cash her paycheck. Only she doesn't have identification, and the teller is being a stickler. Soon, Janiyah is waving a gun, something is flashing red in her daughter's see-through backpack and she has made hostages of the bank employees and a handful of aging customers. Sherri Shepherd portrays Nicole, the branch manager who tries to diffuse the situation, having amped it by telling the police that Janiyah has a bomb. Teyana Taylor ('A Thousand and One') brings fierce focus to a deteriorating situation as Detective Kay Raymond. The security footage at the grocery store didn't lie, but Detective Raymond intuits something more has sent Janiyah to the desperate standoff. She steps in as a negotiator. Perry, an unapologetic purveyor of melodrama, mercilessly teases the tension. Will Janiyah hurt the hostages? Will the authorities make a sad situation worse? The ending is perhaps too twisting for its own good. But Henson — so deeply committed to her character's emotional cratering — still makes us care. StrawNot rated. Running time: 1 hour 45 minutes. Watch on Netflix.
