West has long been a mentor and friend, but Taylor is still incredibly reverent of the famous artist. “I worked so hard for it, and it’s just overwhelming in a good way.” “I’m finally getting my just due,” she says in her Harlem-bred drawl. Social media exploded, and those who had never heard of Taylor were forced to reckon with her long burgeoning stardom. It was sensual and powerful, and viewers immediately zeroed in on her phenomenal body, wondering how someone can look like that-all ripped abs and toned arms-when they just had a baby eight months ago (her secret: dancing). That changed on August 28 during the MTV Video Music Awards, where Kanye West debuted his new video for “Fade.” Taylor stars in the Flashdance-inspired visual, delivering a tight fusillade of choreography-strutting, jumping, and vogueing around a gym in a tiny gray sports bra and underwear, hair slicked down and body covered in oil. It was well-received and topped the Billboard R&B chart, but didn’t float Taylor to the next level of mainstream success. Music compilation Cruel Summer, then dropped her debut album, VII, in 2014. She worked with West on albums like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and the G.O.O.D. The 25-year-old singer/rapper/dancer has been in the music industry for years, first signing to Pharrell’s label before switching over to join Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. The perennially drained battery doesn’t bother Taylor at all. The artist and her team (which, on the day she came into Vanity Fair’s offices, includes her mother/manager Nikki Taylor, a photographer, her makeup artist, and eight-month-old daughter Junie) spend the little free time they have between meetings looking for the nearest outlet, always “scrambling to charge,” Nikki tells Vanity Fair. Constantly buzzing with texts, phone calls, and e-mails, its battery is always on the verge of dying no matter how many times a day she charges it.
