Teyana Taylor’s ‘Long Time’ Visual Is a Feast for the Eyes and Food for the Soul
Teyana Taylor knows how to make an entrance—and a statement. At the 2025 BET Music Awards, she dropped a surprise that had everyone talking: the debut of her latest single, “Long Time,” complete with a stunning, visually explosive choreography that’s equal parts sultry, soulful, and cinematic.
Dressed in a crystal-embellished bodysuit that shimmered like moonlight, Teyana took the stage with the raw confidence we’ve come to expect—and admire. She was dangling from the ceiling and being lowered down in graceful measure. But no one was ready for what came next. The lights dimmed, the screen behind her flickered to life, and suddenly, the audience was transported into her latest creative universe.
The Music Video For ‘Long Time’ is Just As Mesmerizing As Her Live Performance
The ‘Long Time’ music video is a bold blend of 70s soul, 90s grit, and futuristic flair. Directed by Taylor herself (under her production company The Aunties), the visuals unfold like a high-fashion short film, where every frame feels like it belongs in a gallery.
Set in a dreamlike version of Harlem, the video is drenched in mood and symbolism. It opens with Teyana showing her angst about her releationship with her man, and it’s demise. But no one is gonna steal her fire! The choreography, fluid and purposeful, tells a story all its own—of longing, resilience, and climbing out of the darkness with a feverish confidence.
“Long Time” is vintage Teyana. Her vocals are smoky and textured, sliding effortlessly between vulnerability and power. The track is a soulful slow-burn, built on layers of live instrumentation—think electric guitar riffs, gospel-inspired harmonies, and that signature bassline that anchors the emotional weight.
Lyrically, she’s in her bag:
“I’ve been waiting on your love like sunrise on a stormy night / been holding on for a long time, too long to let it slide”
It’s intimate, reflective, and unmistakably grown. She’s a star in full command.
