Teyana Taylor made her Ellen debut this week and performed her hit single “Issues/Hold On,” which appears on her sophomore album K.T.S.E..
Taylor turned the Ellen stage into a 70s Soul Train inspired set. Introducing Taylor to the audience was Ellen DeGeneres’ in-house DJ tWitch, acting as Don Cornelius, host of the classic show.
Dressed in a shimmery gold pantsuit, Taylor wooed the crowd with her soulful performance and Soul Train dancers. And at one point, Ellen even joined the groovy Soul Train line.
After the performance, Ellen surprised the R&B singer with a gold plaque for her certified gold single “Issues/Hold On”.
Teyana Taylor expressed on Instagram, “IM STILL PINCHING MYSELF TO WAKE UP!!! ????Omg did this really happen??!! Not only did I perform on @theellenshow with a custom set built out for me But ELLEN PERSONALLY HAND DELIVERED my gold plaque & danced with me down the soul train lineeeeee.”
The performance airs today on Ellen at 3 pm EST/3 pm PST.
