Teyana Taylor<\/strong> <\/a>once stated, \u201cthe wait wasn\u2019t punishment, it was preparation,\u201d<\/em> and the multi-hyphenate artist who choreographed Beyonce\u2019s <\/strong>\u201cRing the Alarm<\/em>\u201d video at the shy age of 15, is releasing her fourth studio album \u201cEscape Room<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u201con Friday, August 22. <\/p>\n The Harlem<\/strong> native locked arms with beau Aaron Pierre <\/a>Wednesday night as the duo strolled inside of Republic Studios<\/strong> in New York City to celebrate her album release party. <\/p>\n Taylor\u2019s latest album debut comes five years after the Harlem native announced her retirement from music in December 2020. But of course in true artist form, she has reset, partnering with talents like Tyla, Jill Scott, Kaytranada <\/strong>and Lucky Daye <\/strong>to deliver a piece of art that\u2019s noteworthy. <\/p>\n For the special occasion, Taylor kept things urban chic in a black long sleeve leather set that she paired with a graphic cropped top, and a yellow banana. She layered her gold necklaces, and had the most fabulous wrist candy that was complimented with statement rings. And while Teyan<\/strong>a looked effortlessly cool, we gotta give it to Aaron Pierre<\/strong> who was truly holding his lady down Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n\n The handsome English Actor mirrored Teyana in all black, and show his support donning a graphic tee with Teyana Taylor\u2019s face front, and centered. (Let\u2019s be honest, If your hunny isn\u2019t showing up like that, throw him away<\/em>.)<\/p>\n In addition to her main squeeze, there were a variety of celebrities who showed up to support Taylor including Ciara, Fabulous and Dave East<\/strong> to name a few. In a video of Teyana and Ciara on our Fashion Bomb daily <\/strong>Instagram page, the pair look like they were twinning in their leather ensembles. <\/p>\n\n They say great minds think alike,<\/em> and we definitely can envision a bomb collaboration from Taylor and Ciara in the future. <\/strong> Some people say, \u201cyou have to connect the dots<\/strong>\u201d and in addition to Teyana Taylor releasing \u201cEscape Room\u201d<\/a><\/strong> on August 22, Ciara<\/strong> will also be releasing her album, \u201cCICI<\/a>\u201c<\/strong> on the same day. Perhaps that\u2019s a sign of what\u2019s to come.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Teyana](\"https:\/\/fashionbombdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/08\/Teyana-Taylor-Steps-out-in-All-Black-with-Beau-Aaron-Pierre-at-22The-Escape-Room22-Album-Release-Party-3.jpg?w=1170\")
