Issues are seemingly heating up between Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre!
On Wednesday, June 4, Taylor launched a brand new single, “Lengthy Time,” with an accompanying music video — and it stars the Mufasa: The Lion King actor!
Within the music video, Taylor, 34, seemingly grapples with the top of a poisonous relationship with an ex (portrayed by LaKeith Stanfield) — and Pierre, 30, involves the rescue.
“I stored you impressed (Impressed) / I lent you my fireplace (Fireplace) / You let me get drained (Drained) / And the reality is, I did not finish when it was over (Over),” she sings within the pre-chorus. “Child, it has been over a very long time / Did not finish whеn it was over (Did not finish when it was ovеr) / Now the door is closed for closure.”
She then repeatedly sings within the refrain: “Ought to’ve been walked out this bitch a very long time.”
By the top of the video, Taylor is laying unconscious on the bottom and Pierre lifts her into his arms. As he is dramatically strolling away, Taylor holds onto his hand.
“Lengthy Time” is the most recent launch from Taylor’s forthcoming album Escape Room, which is able to arrive with an accompanying quick movie in August.
Final week, Taylor launched the trailer for the quick movie — and options Pierre as her onscreen love curiosity. This time, nonetheless, it featured a steamy kissing scene with the star.
Per a launch, “the quick movie acts as a visible illustration of the album exploring the ombré results of life’s journey from the darkness of all elements of heartbreak (i.e. friendships, profession, household, and so forth.) to the lightness of therapeutic.”
It continued, “This multi-faceted physique of labor traces the complete human expertise delivering each a relatable and common piece of artwork that audiences could make their very own. Escape Room finally creates a protected area to interrupt free from no matter we have to escape, leaving harm behind, and reaching therapeutic.”
Taylor and Pierre have sparked romance rumors for months, particularly after they posted a sequence of glamorous pics collectively on the 2025 Oscars. In April, the Coming 2 America star seemingly responded to a horny snap from Pierre by way of her Instagram Tales, writing, “on di wey” with an exhaling emoji.
On June 4, Taylor accepted the inaugural Innovator Award on the Apollo Spring Profit 2025 in Harlem and thanked her interior circle, referring to an unnamed individual — whom followers assume is Pierre — as her “apple pie.”
Taylor thanked God “for the village you’ve positioned in my life — my mother, my dad, my infants and my apple pie.” Laughing, she added, “I like you all a lot. Thanks for loving me the way in which you do. I’d not be the girl that I’m right now with out you. Thanks for being my entire world, my heartbeats, my motive, my examples.”
