After announcing her plan to retire from music last year, Teyana Taylor is giving her fans one last tour.
The singer took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce The Last Rose Petal Tour, a 12-city farewell that kicks off in San Francisco on November 7. “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard,” Teyana captioned her tour announcement. “However for every goodbye God makes the next hello closer. Come out and watch me, leave it all out on the stage… One last time… Just for you & as my last rose petal falls, I say farewell….🥀”
Taylor elaborated on her decision to leave music behind in an interview on Cam Newton’s BET series Sip ‘N Smoke.She came to the decision because she didn’t feel seen as an artist by her label. “At the end of the day, I’m a mom first,” she began. “A mom, a wife, a woman. And I think for me, I put in a lot of work. I work very, very hard. So, If you feel unheard and unseen–like how I said earlier with my husband. He sees me, he hears me. I take that shit serious. Everything I do. So if you’re my husband or I’m signed, everybody that I’m aligned with should see me. They should hear me. They should feel me. If you don’t see me, hear me, or feel me, it’s a dub for you.”
She continued by saying that her label made her feel “underappreciated.”
“So, for my mental health, my mental well-being, for my kids, let me just put this on ice for a little [bit]. It’s not that I retired permanently,” she added. “It’s more like, I just don’t feel like I want to move another inch for a company.”
After kicking off in San Fran, The Last Rose Petal Tour hits cities like Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. Check out the full list of Teyana Taylor’s final tour dates in her Instagram post above.
