Sing365 says that the record's "…[a] mix of throwback break beats, futuristic boom bap, and melodic renderings is the perfect backdrop for the starlet's musical mayhem."[23]"Google Me" debuted at number 90 on USBillboard'sHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.The mixtape was also released forfree download,billed as "the mixtape before her debut album".[24]In August 2010, Taylor expanded her career intoacting,appearing in the sequel toStomp the Yard,Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming.[25]She also appeared on the debut episode ofHouse of GlamonOxygenin October 2010.

In 2010, just hours beforeKanye West's fifth albumMy Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasywas due to be turned in, West called Taylor into the studio to look over some of her fashion pieces. While in the studio, Taylor was determined to make an appearance on West's album. She purposely hummed along with the tracks he played for her, to get his attention. He eventually took notice, and asked to put her vocals on a few tracks, notably "Dark Fantasy"and"Hell of a Life".Upon recalling the experience of recording" Dark Fantasy ", Taylor stated that" at the time it was pretty empty, just verses. "She remembers that West" put [her] in another room by [herself] and said, 'Go'. "Taylor came back with the" intro and chorus, "and" did all thescratchesand the cuts [herself]. "She admitted that she was nervous upon letting West hear her contributions to the tracks, trying to cover her nervousness by stating that she" hadn't been in the studio for so long. "[26]

In 2010, Taylor contributed on one of GOOD Music'sGOOD Fridaytracks, "Christmas In Harlem".The track was released as a shortened version of the single to theiTunes Storeon December 17, 2010, and featuresguest appearancesfrom American rapperCyhi the Prynceas well as Kanye West.[27]In 2010, Taylor, alongside fellow rapperBow Wow,were offered roles forTyler Perry's play-turned-filmMadea's Big Happy Family,the fifth installment in Perry's series.

In January 2012, it was announced Taylor would be granted her release from the contract with Interscope and Star Trak.[31][32][33]Taylor has stated that she and Star Trak founder Pharrell Williams have remained amicable since the end of their business relationship. She has credited him as a "big brother", and sees her early signing to Star Trak as a "blessing."[34]Taylor has stated on many occasions that her release from the label was necessary, as she wanted to have a feeling of independence in the music industry. In an interview with DJ Skee, Taylor mentioned that “when [she] was signed for six years, [she] felt like she couldn't do [anything]”, “couldn't prove to [her] fans that [she] had the talent”, and “couldn't sing from [her] heart.”[35] As anindependent artistupon her release, she had begun preparing her second record, a mixtape titledThe Misunderstanding of Teyana Taylor.The mixtape drew influences from1990s R&Blegends likeLauryn HillandMary J.

Kelly,provides the hook and chorus for "Sin City", which featuresJohn Legend,Cyhi the Prynce,Malik Yusefand Travis Scott, and also duets with John Legend on a song titled "Bliss".[40]Taylor and Legend's duet on the album was highly praised, with Erika Ramirez ofBillboardnoting that "Taylor's beautifully brash voice... illuminates in the electric-guitar heavy,Hudson Mohawke-produced 'Bliss'. "[41]

In addition to being featured on theCruel Summercompilation, Taylor soon began the process of recording hermajor-labeldebut album, to be released eventually through GOOD Music and Island Def Jam.[42]On July 27, 2014, viaTwitter,Taylor announced the title of her debutstudio albumto beVII,and revealed it would be released on November 4, through Def Jam and GOOD Music.[43][44]The album debuted at number 19 on theBillboard200, selling 16,000 copies in the United States in its first week, while topping the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[45]

A year later, in 2017, Taylor’s dancing in the music video would go on to earn her the “Best Choreography” award at thesame ceremony.[49]The video, directed by Eli Russell Linnetz, also featured an appearance by Taylor's husband,Iman Shumpert.[50] Taylor's albumK.T.S.E.,an acronym for "keep that same energy," was the last of G.O.O.D. Music's seven-song album rollout and was released on June 22, 2018.[51]An updated version of the album was supposed to be released, but Taylor announced that plans were canceled for it.[52]

On December 4, 2020, Taylor seemingly announced her retirement from making music via herInstagrampage. A few days later, she explained the post was directed at her record label as she continued clarifying her frustration with their lack of support, "Baby, I gotta do it for my mental health. I have to do it for my emotional health. I have to do it for my kids, so I can stay alive for my kids. Until I'm free, until I can get [Def Jam] to release me, yes I want to retire."[59]She later said that much of the frustration leading to retirement could be traced back to her label undervaluing her, but she would not be retiring for good.[60]
