Teyana, 35, earned the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, her first win, at the 83rd annual ceremony on Sunday night.

She was visibly shocked by the honor, bursting into tears the moment her name was called by presenters Jennifer Garner and Amanda Seyfried.

The All’s Fair star admitted in her speech that she didn’t expect to win, so she nearly didn’t come prepared.

She then proceeded to read her speech, through tears, off a piece of paper.

At one moment, the TV star was bleeped for cursing while commenting on how heavy her trophy was cradled in her arms.

“Oh my God, this s— is heavy,” she started the speech off to a roar of laughter from the audience.

“Oh my God, I almost didn’t even write a speech because I didn’t think I would get this,” she said as her voice shook with emotion. “Oh my babies! My babies are upstairs watching, y’all better be off those damn phones and watching me right now.” 

The dancer and actress then thanked her cast for “every lesson, every test, and every blessing,” as well as One Battle After Another director, writer, and co-producer Paul Thomas Anderson.

“To Paul ‘Let ‘Em Cook’ Thomas Anderson, thank you for your vision, your trust, and your brilliance. My gratitude is endless. I love you, we love you, and thank you so much for holding space for me and our entire cast.”

Teyana also gave a shout-out to her costars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Chase Infiniti, Regina Hall, and “every single person who has touched this project.”

Teyana was met with massive applause and a standing ovation from the audience.

The singer stunned at the event, donning a form-fitting black gown, with the fabric strategically draped over her breasts.

The back of the dress had a massive cut-out above her rear, which she also pointed out on stage.

This was the first major award win for Teyana, who portrayed Leo’s character’s love interest in the Paul Thomas Anderson film.
