In Playboy’s September/October 2018 issue, Teyana Taylor redefined sensuality and strength with a bold, unapologetic photoshoot that celebrated her fearless artistry and raw authenticity. Shot during the height of her K.T.S.E. album release and joint tour with Jeremih, the spread was more than a visual showcase—it was a declaration of resilience. In the accompanying interview, Taylor opened up about her journey through the music industry, motherhood, and the challenges of staying true to herself in a world that often demands compromise. “I want not just to do it; I want to be it,” she said, capturing the essence of her creative spirit. The shoot and story together painted a portrait of a woman who refuses to be boxed in—equal parts muse, mogul, and movement.
