Teyana Taylor’s Work That Pussy (WTP) video an Ode to Ballroom Scene

If you have been sleeping on Teyana Taylor and her music,  this is the time for you to wake the fuck up. With the release of her highly anticipated music video for Work That Pussy (WTP), she isn’t holding back! The songstress released her 2^nd album at the end of last year to a frenzy of some sort that paved the way for much recognition-- even in the face of intense adversity around the release of the project. Though the video comes some time after the original release date, it does NOT let us down.

WTP is an ode to the ball scene and all things gay, honey. Teyana is a sex symbol with a body that makes you regret every carb you ever craved. She pushes through again with a sexy, funny, good time showcasing the personality her fans have grown to love over the past few years she has been on the scene. The 8-minute video is packed with a funny skit that shows Teyana as a Cinderella of the ball world, unable to attend because she isn’t allowed to “work her pussy.”

The video features a few prominent faces from the gay community including Milan Christopher (yes, the one with the monster dick), Lena Waithe, Shaun Xtravaganza, and Trace Lysette. Each of these people holds some historic relevance in the progression of the gay community by standing tall in the face of adversity. The level of thought put into the images is obvious, and the video definitely makes one gag. It is probably the best gay cams recording ever. The video is just so gay and beautiful!

Top moments from the video in gifs:

Seeing the legends- Trace Lysette (the baddest bitch of them all) made an appearance and that was all I needed.

Setting the Scene- Teyana is so cute and innocent as Cinderella who is upset that she can’t work her pussy at the ball.

The main event!- Right down to the floor with vogue action gives us all the life that we need!

GET IT BITCH!!- We’ve known that Teyana can fuck it up, but these scenes of her fucking the floor up have me in awe!

All hail the history makers!- Lena Waithe and her comedic banter is priceless!

Give us real body, fish!- Teyana and this bodysuit, lawd! You can't deny her ability to work that pussy!

SERVE US SEX, HUNTY!- Teyana’s fine ass NBA player husband, Iman Shumpert, makes another sexy cameo that makes us all wet. This gives their cameo in Kanye's 'Fade' video a run for its money! If only they'd perform on live webcam...

Though Teyana Taylor is a married woman (she's no stranger to allowing visitors into their bedroom) and mother of a daughter, she has no problem paying homage to the roots of her confidence. In a beautiful and heartfelt Instagram post about her directorial debut, she expresses:

“First time I met YOU (LGBTQ/ballroom) I was 15. An age when I didn’t feel my prettiest, didn’t know who I really was ya know. I was still finding myself in this crazy world like any other normal 15 year old but it’s so crazy how before I became the woman I am today, most importantly, I was accepted with open arms by YOU. YOU made me feel so beautiful. YOU embraced my strong features, YOU embraced my big hair, YOU embraced everything about me like no other and I knew from that day on that YOU would a home for me and would forever be a part of who I would become & something I would love and forever embrace AT ALL TIMES. Stepping into the industry shortly after, I realized that a lot of people did not embrace YOU the way I did, I was confused I could not understand for the life of me why YOU wouldn’t be embraced! Why the hell was people ashamed of YOU!! My sweet 16 I had YOU part of it and it weirdly did not make the episode, I had YOU in my very first music video at age 16 that you also oddly didn’t make it in. I never understood why but it hurt me. But I never let it stop me from EMBRACING & LOVING YOU. So I continued to always remind people that this is me! This is who I am. Once I realized that them NOT embracing YOU had become a repetitive thing, I vowed to continue to represent YOU whenever to whoever!! And that one day when I am where I want to be and I have control and power I would WORK MY PUSSY unapologetically to the world with you and make sure the world see where I come from and not have to worry about ANYONE editing YOU out or being ashamed of MY HOME. YOU have taught me to embrace my sexuality, tap into my sexy, love my strong features, love my body and the list goes on and on. It’s so dope to finally do something for/with YOU that WE CONTROL UNAPOLOGETICALLY. I love YOU so much and thank you for everything. I want to thank my staff and crew, I want to thank all the icons, legends & kids for making this video magical W/O YOU no pussies would be WORKEDT! @_mykki_ thank you for ur voice and presence on WTP my love.”

It’s such a beautiful thing to witness allies stand together and appreciate the contributions that the LGBTQ community has had on their lives. We are always encouraging and uplifting one another to shine in whatever capacity our talents allow and to not let the opinions of others block that shine. It’s great when the people who have reaped the benefits of relationships with LGBT people reverence it and give back with art forms that scream "YAAASSSSS QUEEN" like WTP.
