Teyana Taylor Reveals the One Thing She Doesn’t “Ever Want to See” at Thanksgiving

“My kids love Cajun pasta, so I gotta make Cajun pasta,” she continued. “We cook a little bit of everything.”

Aside from food, Teyana has much to be thankful for this holiday season. Her latest album Escape Room earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album earlier this month, marking her first-ever nod at the ceremony—though the exciting news came at a less-than-opportune moment.

“When I first heard, I had on a Korean facial mask, so I couldn’t move my face,” she told E!. “I couldn’t really show my excitement—it made it even funnier. I was so stiff until my nana started praying, and when she started speaking in tongues, I literally cried my mask off.”

“Being able to call my family and pray, be happy, cry, laugh, all of the things,” she added, “that’s enough for me.”
