Our girl Teyana Taylor is absolutely closing out 2025 with a bang! Just ahead of her birthday, the multi-talented actress snagged a Golden Globe nomination for her killer supporting role in *One Battle After Another*. Yes, you heard that right—the recognition her fans have been screaming about has finally arrived!The nominations for the 2026 class dropped this Monday, and we’re thrilled to see Teyana Taylor officially on the list. Speaking on the exciting news, she shared her real-life reaction:
“My birthday’s in two days,” Taylor told Deadline. “It’s crazy because I’m in LA and I land back in Atlanta to my babies on my birthday, so I didn’t even have any birthday plans. I want to just land, pick up my kids from school and lay down because I’ve been busy, busy, busy!” She truly sounds ready for a much-deserved break!
And if that wasn’t enough, this amazing news follows just weeks after she was announced as a contender for her very first Grammy, nominated for Best R&B Album! Reflecting on that monumental achievement, Teyana shared a powerful message at the time:
“Nearly twenty years ago on November 7th I signed my very first record deal,” she wrote. “And on November 7th, 2025 … God said ‘remember when I told you the weight/wait wasn’t punishment? I told you it was preparation for what I already had written for you?? Baby girl, it’s your time.’ 🥹” Talk about divine timing!
Let’s get into the film that’s capturing all this attention and leading the 2026 Golden Globe nominations.
In *One Battle After Another*, Teyana Taylor delivers an incredible performance as Perfidia Beverly Hills. Her character is a fierce, yet flawed, member of “The French 75,” a revolutionary group. Perfidia navigates the raw complexities of love, motherhood, and postpartum depression, struggling for survival in a gritty world. She becomes a complex, morally ambiguous figure, deeply involved with characters portrayed by big names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, all while fiercely loyal and focused on self-preservation.
The film itself racked up a whopping nine Golden Globe nominations. With this kind of momentum, it’s easy to see *One Battle After Another* taking home some serious hardware!
Congrats, Teyana! We are absolutely rooting for you to bring home those awards!
