Following months of speculation that she and Pierre are dating, Taylor dropped the teaser for her fourth album, Escape Room. The LP, which is set to arrive in August, will be the singer’s first since The Album in 2020.
The teaser starts with Taylor exchanging vows with LaKeith Stanfield, with other scenes showing the trials and tribulations of their marriage. Teyana then leaves her husband for Pierre’s character, but the visual ends with the actor aiming a gun at his love interest. The album teaser comes as Taylor and Pierre continue to spark dating rumors by being spotted at public events together, including the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
The preview for Escape Room seems to hint at Taylor’s 2024 divorce from Iman Shumpert, with whom she shares two daughters.
When the full video for her first single, “Long Time,” dropped on Wednesday, the parallels to her marriage are even more apparent, saying she should have left the relationship a “long time ago.” The visuals also show her in a blood-covered wedding dress before transitioning into an all-red gown with a long train that trails around her like a pool of blood, surrounded by crime scene tape.
In the end, Aaron Pierre picks her up from the ground, rescuing the singer and seemingly bringing her back to life.
