The same livestream that rallied Westside fans also saw Tay flexing some serious musical skill. Lil Tay continued her bizarre return to the public eye with the 14-year-old showing some serious musical talent. In a new livestream, Tay took to the piano to beautifully play a classical piece. Several people in the comments took to calling her “Taytoven” due to her ability. Later in the same stream, she moved from piano to guitar and near-perfectly played the ever-daunting Metallica classic, “Master of Puppets”. While Tay’s original internet persona was all about shock value, she is very clearly trying to forge ahead with her sheer talent this time around.
Furthermore, she also dropped a music video for her new single “SUCKER 4 GREEN”, which is a catchy if generic dance-pop number. While Tay and her mother, whom she now lives with, have expressed an interest in Tay genuinely pursuing music, not everyone is a fan. Of course, there are going to be haters. However, many people expressed exploitation concerns given the fairly sexual content of “SUCKER 4 GREEN”, especially given that Tay is 14.
