Teyana Taylor Wins Big At 2026 BET Awards
US musician and actress Teyana Taylor was the biggest winner at the 2026 BET Awards held in Los Angeles on June 28.
The actress was tearful as she received the Icon of the Year award presented to her by the legend Janet Jackson.
Teyana sobbed as she expressed shock to Jackson introducing her.
"Oh my God... I'm gagging, they did not tell me Janet was coming," she said as walked to join her on stage.
The 35-year-old made her Hollywood debut in the Oscar-winning film One Battle After Another.
Teyana Taylor took home four Awards including Best Actress, Video Director of the Year and Fashion Vanguard awards at the ceremony.
"I worked my ass off [for] 20 years for this," Taylor said.
"So I'm not accepting what I've earned with arrogance, I'm accepting what I've earned with gratitude.
"And this year alone I continue to give the world the artiste, actress, director, choreographer, creative director, stylist, designer, writer, producer and chef
! I graduated in September, y'all!"
Taylor carved her name at age 15 when she choreographed a Beyoncé music video.
