AceShowbiz - Teyana Taylor has addressed the technical difficulties she faced during her performance with Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium, clarifying what really went wrong on stage.

She noted that despite not being able to hear a thing, she was still able to visually connect with the audience and the moment.

She reflected on how incredible it was for a Harlem native to share the stage with one of the genre’s greatest artists in front of over 40,000 fans at such a legendary venue.

In addition to recounting the technical setback, Teyana Taylor used the moment to share a personal reflection on faith. She spoke about how challenges can sometimes obscure progress, but faith reminds her of how far she has come from the dreams she had as a young girl.

She expressed heartfelt thanks to Jay-Z for inviting her to be part of this historic event, acknowledging the trust and honor involved. Teyana Taylor promised to cherish the experience forever and celebrated the album's cultural impact on its 30th anniversary.
