Watch How Teyana Taylor’s House Of Petunia/Red Bull Show Came To Be

The singer’s documentary details the making of one of the biggest shows of her career.

Teyana Taylor is an unstoppable polymath. Over the past decade, she’s sang, danced, acted, directed music videos, and started her own business — and it doesn’t seem like she’ll be stopping any time soon. For her latest feat, Taylor linked up with Red Bull to share a behind the scenes look at how her sold-out House of Petunia show came together

In “Assembly Required,” Taylor shows us just how involved she is in every aspect of her career. “It feels really good to have an opportunity to have my dream show,” Taylor said during the hour-long doc. During the film, she instructs dancer, and looks on during rehearsals, all while juggling motherhood, too.

First time I met YOU (LGBTQ/ballroom) I was 15. An age when I didn’t feel my prettiest, didn’t know who I really was ya know. I was still finding myself in this crazy world like any other normal 15 year old but it’s so crazy how before I became the woman I am today, most importantly, I was accepted with open arms by YOU. YOU made me feel so beautiful. YOU embraced my strong features, YOU embraced my big hair, YOU embraced everything about me like no other and I knew from that day on that YOU would a home for me and would forever be apart of who I would become & something I would love and forever embrace AT ALL TIMES. Stepping into the industry shortly after, I realized that a lot of people did not embrace YOU the way I did, I was confused I could not understand for the life of me why YOU wouldn’t be embraced! Why the hell was people ashamed of YOU!! My sweet 16 I had YOU part of it and it weirdly did not make the episode, I had YOU in my very first music video at age 16 that you also oddly didn’t make it in. I never understood why but it hurt me. But I never let it stop me from EMBRACING & LOVING YOU. So I continued to always remind people that this is me! This is who I am. Once I realized that them NOT embracing YOU had become a repetitive thing, I vowed to continue to represent YOU whenever to whoever!! And that one day when I am where I want to be and I have control and power I would WORK MY PUSSY unapologetically to the world with you and make sure the world see where I come from and not have to worry about ANYONE editing YOU out or being ashamed of MY HOME. YOU have taught me to embrace my sexuality, tap into my sexy, love my strong features, love my body and the list goes on and on. It’s so dope to finally do something for/with YOU that WE CONTROL UNAPOLOGETICALLY. I love YOU so much and thank you for everything. I want to thank my staff and crew, I want to thank all the icons, legends & kids for making this video magical W/O YOU no pussies would be WORKEDT!💕 and @_mykki_ thank you for ur voice and presence on WTP my love.❤️ swipe to see full caption.

Taylor began her own house, called the “House of Petunia” after an alter ego that she came up with in 2018. She’s long had a love of ballroom culture, and detailed it in an Instagram post surrounding the release of her “WTP” video. “First time I met YOU (LGBTQ/ballroom) I was 15…,” she wrote. “I was still finding myself in this crazy world like any other normal 15 year old but it’s so crazy how before I became the woman I am today, most importantly, I was accepted with open arms by YOU. YOU made me feel so beautiful,”

The entertainer is all about excellence, and paying homage to the spaces that helped shape her, and it shows.
