The 32-year-old singer and choreographer now turns to dramatic acting. It’s the moment she’s been waiting for.
The film, which took home the Sundance Film Festival’s grand jury prize and hits theaters on March 31, cracks open the inner life of a woman often seen but never truly heard. Taylor plays Inez, a young Harlem fast talker who decides to jury-rig a family by any means necessary. So she literally snatches her 6-year-old out of the system and pushes him into the life she never had. Fresh out of prison, Inez spots her son, Terry, who is in foster care, on the street.
Like Inez, Taylor considers herself a hustler. Taylor landed her first record deal at 15 years old. Soon after, she choreographed Beyoncé's “Ring the Alarm” music video. Eventually small parts on the big screen came calling . And, yes, that is her putting everybody to shame in Kanye West’s “” video. But after releasing three studio albums and saying goodbye to her music career with a 2022 farewell tour, Taylor is now firmly in her “acting bag.” Later this year, the 32-year-old will also appear in the remake of “White Men Can’t Jump.
