Teyana Taylor

Nearly a year after she announced her retirement from music, Teyana Taylor set out on a brief tour to say goodbye. The string of shows, titled The Last Rose Petal… Farewell Tour, began earlier this month and is set to continue until November 30 in Atlanta. Unfortunately, her plans for a smooth tour were disrupted before a recent show. She was set to perform in Connecticut on Saturday alongside Ari Lennox and Sevyn Streeter when she took to Instagram to reveal she was hospitalized for exhaustion

“Thank you for being so understanding,” Teyana wrote under a picture of her in a hospital bed. “Y’all know Petunia don’t miss no shows & most importantly, know I’ve been leaving it all on tha stage for a month straight 1000%. So I am really saddened to have not been able to do the same for you last night.” She continued, “My team & I tried everything down to the very last second to get me out on that stage, but my body simply just gave out, which actually started a few days ago. SHUT DOWN, my body actually low key betrayed me cause ah b*tch was tryna get on that stage.”

“Y’all know I’m with the sh*ts,” she added. “Y’all have seen me with a broken foot and all types of other crazy sh*t but still got on that stage and bodied it… But honestly you have to listen to your body and know when to sit down; or it will definitely sit you down….. in the ER.”

Teyana also said that she would take the next few days to “continue to recover.” She added that a new date for the Connecticut show will be scheduled soon and previously-purchased tickets will be honored.

Teyana Taylor is currently gearing up for retirement from music by going on one last show-stopping tour. During her performances, Taylor’s adorable daughter Junie, who is five years old and already probably more Instagram-famous than you, oftentimes makes an appearance on stage. During a recent set, Junie made it clear that she inherited her mother’s fearless spirit because she stopped the show to scold the crowd for fighting during her song.

“Ain’t no f*cking fighting while my baby’s performing,” Taylor told the crowd and Junie clearly agreed. She reprimanded the audience for causing a disturbance and made it clear she had every intention of keeping the show moving. “Whoever has gotten sassy, they need to get out,” Junie said, continuing with: “If you don’t play my music, I’m beating y’all up.”

It was far from the first time Taylor has stopped one of her performances due to some commotion in the crowd. Earlier this month, the singer was performed a show at Los Angeles’ The Novo theater when she noticed member of the crowd was looking queasy and slumped over the barrier. Taylor then paused her set to make sure the fan was OK. She instructed security guards to pull the fan out of the packed crowd and sit them down until they were feeling alright.

Teyana Taylor is about to retire from her music career. The singer is making sure she’s going out with a bang with one last show-stopping tour, The Last Rose Petal Farewell Tour, which kicked off this week and comes to a close at the end of November. Along with making sure fans have a special time seeing her perform one last time, she also wanted to ensure their safety. That’s why she stopped her show mid-set to check up on a fan in the crowd who wasn’t looking too hot.

Taylor was performing at LA’s The Novo theater when she paused the show. As seen in videos captured by the audience, Taylor walked over to a fan who was slumped against the crowd barrier. She asked if the fan was okay and instructed security guards to pull them out of the crowd and sit them down. “I’m about to retire, you ain’t finna sue me, baby,” she said into the mic.

Taylor’s comment about a lawsuit might have been referencing what went down over the weekend at Astroworld festival. A crowd-control disaster led to a massive stampede of people, tragically causing eight deaths and several injuries. The event has also led to a number of lawsuits, with several Astroworld concertgoers suing Live Nation and Travis Scott for $1 million in damages.

Teyana Taylor has often been praised for her physique, with fans and peers often left in awe at the singer’s ability to be in shape at seemingly all times. But the singer was surprised with quite the health scare recently. During an episode of her and her husband Iman Shumpert’s reality show We Got Love Teyana & Iman, the singer revealed that she had to undergo emergency surgery in Miami after her doctor discovered lumps in her breasts.

She described the procedure as a “complicated” biopsy that required dense tissue to be removed from her breasts in order to be sent to a pathology lab for testing. While the results came back fine, the singer admitted she was frightened through the experience as she feared it would be linked to an illness present in her family.

“Cancer runs through my family, so it’s a scary thing both for me and Iman,” the singer said. She also revealed that she could not use her arms and lift her children for six weeks following the procedure.

“It’s tough,” Taylor said. “I’m definitely overwhelmed because I miss my kids so much, I miss Iman so much.” She added, “I think that’s probably the longest I’ve been away from them. My number one priority is to hurry up and get back home, but I know I need to take care of what I need to take care of as well.” Elsewhere she added, “I just want this to be the last time I go through this.”

The singer’s return home was captured toward the end of the We Got Love Teyana & Iman episode. It’s there that she spoke about the mental and physical toll that the situation took on her.

“I accept every single body scar, everything that comes with mommy-hood, but the changes — physically, mentally, emotionally, it’s crazy,” the singer said. “As mommies, we really are super-women. It’s been a rough year for me, but I feel like I overcame it, and I did a great job of balancing everything, trying to be mommy, trying to be [a] wife, trying to be [an] entrepreneur and everything else I have going on. I just want to enjoy this moment and try not to think of the negative.”
