You’d be forgiven for not knowing who Teyena Taylor was before yesterday’s MTV VMAs, but now you truly have no excuse.
The singer is the star of Kanye West‘s latest Flashdance-but-with-added-perspiring-ass video clip, ‘Fade‘.
In it, she prancercises around a gym floor in a sweat-soaked g-banger, macks on with her real-life fiancé Iman Shumpert in the shower and eventually animorphs into a cat, for inexplicable reasons.
Naturally, we all went buck-wild over Taylor’s impossibly toned, round-bottomed rig. Even KKW was frothing endlessly into the Twitterverse:
You guys!!! @TEYANATAYLOR has the best body ever!!! Like no joke and just had a baby!!!! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????

In the hours since, The Internet has clamoured for answers and truths regarding how one acquires a flesh prison even a 10th as impressive as the dancer’s.
E! Online has come through with the goods, unearthing a 2014 interview Taylor gave where she admitted that she… barely exercises at all.
As unbelievable as that is, Taylor reckons she only does “lazy workouts,” like using an elliptical.
“I would be lying if I told you I had hardcore workouts, because I really, really don’t.” said Taylor, speaking to VLAD TV. “But I do a lot of squats—a lot of stuff like that. The elliptical is my baby because you can just be on there, go like this all day for hours, just have on your headphones. That’s it.”
She credits stellar genetics more than anything. “I was 6 years old with a six pack,” she said. “I always tell my mom I’m allergic to vegetables. I’m real funny. Like, if I can’t pronounce it or spell it, I won’t eat it. I’m more of a fried chicken, baked macaroni—I eat everything. I don’t eat healthy at all.”
It doesn’t end there – turns out Taylor is just like you and me when it comes to getting guilt tripped by personal trainers, too.
“One time I was at the gym with this trainer, and you know how they’ll be like, ‘Oh, you’re a quitter!’ and make you wanna work harder?” She said in the same interview. “I was like, ‘You know what? You are right. Imma see you later. Imma ’bout to be out. I’m hungry. I want a slice of pizza.’”
So do I, Teyena. So do I.
