The actress hit a huge career milestone at the 2026 Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 12 when she won her first ever Golden Globe. The One Battle After Another star won Best Supporting Actress, coming out on top of heavyweights like Emily Blunt, Elle Fanning, Ariana Grande, Amy Madigan and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas.
To start her emotional speech, Taylor made a cheeky nod to her whale tail cutout dress. “Wait, see my body in the back,” she said as she turned around for the camera. Quickly, however, Taylor grew emotional as the win settled in, getting choked up at various points in her speech.
“I almost didn’t even write a speech because I didn’t think I was [going to win],” the singer said. “Thank you to the Golden Globe voters for seeing me and reminding me that purpose always finds its moment.”
Taylor also gave a shoutout to her One Battle After Another director, Paul Thomas Anderson, whom she dubbed Paul “Let ’em cook” Thomas Anderson.
“Thank you for your vision, your trust and your brilliance. My gratitude is endless,” Teyana gushed. “I love you. We love you, and thank you so much for holding space for me and our entire cast.”
The Grammy-nominated artist also paid a heartfelt tribute to her Black roots, finishing her speech by dedicating her win to “my Brown sisters and little Brown girls watching.”
“Our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much,” Taylor said. “Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, and our dreams deserve space.”
Released back in September, One Battle After Another grossed $206.1 million worldwide and won best picture at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
Following her big win, Teyana Taylor kept the celebration going with award-winning food favorite, Raising Cane’s, during a late-night stop at the brand’s Hollywood Restaurant on Sunset & Highland. Stepping out in full glam, the award-winning actress posed with a celebratory Box Combo complete with hand-battered Chicken Fingers, buttery Cane’s Toast, crispy coleslaw, crinkle-cut fries and iconic Cane’s Sauce, all while sipping freshly made lemonade.
