Dancer from Kanye’s “Fade” Video Says There’s No Intense Workout or Diet Behind Her Super Fit Bod

Dancer from Kanye’s “Fade” Video Says There’s No Intense Workout or Diet Behind Her Super Fit Bod

Alicia Keys and her makeup-free controversy, Michael Phelps’ amazing reaction to Jimmy Fallon’s Ryan Lochte impression and Rihanna handing Drake a vicious burn were just a few of the highlights from the 2016 VMAs. But when Kanye debuted his new video for “Fade,” everyone was not only wondering who the wildly talented dancer was, but we also wanted to know just how she stays so fiercely fit.


Teyana Taylor is her name and she’s not only a dancer, but a singer herself. And a new mom! In Kanye’s Flashdance-to-the-extreme vid, Teyana not only worked up a fine sweat, she also earned countless new fans and gave us some serious #fitnessgoals. So how does she do it? Not the way you’d think.

Teyana revealed to E!, “Dancing is my workout. I just dance.” That’s totally do-able and a fun way to get yourself moving. So is it a super restrictive diet that gives her such a toned and muscular form? Nope. A source told E! that Teyana “eats everything… Eating healthy is not her thing. She is the kind of girl that eats donuts and candy for breakfast.” Might not work for everyone, but it’s certainly working for Teyana.
