A Busy Schedule and a New Achievement
Teyana Taylor has found herself in the spotlight more than ever after winning the Golden Globe for Best Female Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. The actress, known for her role in "One Battle After Another," has been juggling a hectic schedule filled with award season events and her studies at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.
On the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet, Taylor shared an interesting detail about her academic life. She revealed that she had received an extension on her culinary school assignment due to her busy schedule. "My deadline is on Tuesday," she told E! News. "I gotta have my meals by Tuesday. I spoke to my chef yesterday, and he’s giving me an extension so I can turn my assignment in on Thursday. My school has been very, very supportive of me."
Taylor, who is currently enrolled at the prestigious culinary school, explained that she usually completes her assignments well before the deadlines. However, this week was different due to her demanding schedule. "I was like, ‘Chef, it ain’t happening,’" she said. "This is when a double life is kicking in. I’m like, ‘I’m gonna need ’til Thursday.’ I’m a straight-A student, and I want to keep it that way. I don’t want to make any excuses."
Balancing Career and Education
Despite her success, Taylor has no plans to take a break from her studies. "I don’t want to do none of that," she said. "Just give me an extra two days. I get home on Monday and I might still have it in by Tuesday. It’s like to have myself that time, so I’m not panicking. One thing about me is I am a student, baby."
The actress also mentioned that she was a student on the set of "One Battle After Another" as she prepares to direct her first film. Taylor has been closely watching Paul Thomas Anderson, who won the Golden Globe for Best Director and Best Screenplay. "I turn into SpongeBob SquarePants, because I’m just soaking it all up, especially as I get ready for my first feature film as a director – to be able to go to the school of Paul Thomas Anderson – he’s the cheat sheet," Taylor gushed. "I literally get to go into my projects knowing exactly how it needs to be done."
