Teyana Taylor attended the 2026 American Music Awards with two very special guests: her daughters, Iman “Junie” Tayla Shumpert Jr., ten, and Rue Rose Shumpert, five. The event was broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Monday, May 25, and the red carpet was filled with famous faces. However, few were as adorable as Taylor’s daughters.

Her eldest daughter made a style statement in a denim outfit, which she wore with red boots, a chunky black belt, and matching black fingerless gloves. Taylor’s youngest looked so cute in a pink dress, matching pink boots, and a knitted white cardigan. In photos, the proud mom can be seen holding her daughters’ hands and posing for the cameras. It was a beautiful moment to witness.
Later in the night, Taylor took to the stage to perform an out-of-this-world routine. She looked incredible in her ab-baring costume.
GettyTeyana Taylor Discusses Motherhood & Juggling Her Career
GettyTaylor is a proud mother, and she has spoken about raising her children while balancing a thriving career. In a March interview with People, she compared her life to “Hannah Montana,” noting that the person she is at work is very different from who she is as a mom. “I think because when I am home and when we are together, I’m in such mommy mode that … it’s almost like Hannah Montana,” she said.
She continued, “They understand it. I live two different lives where it’s like, ‘Okay, here’s carpet mommy. But then here is mommy, when she’s home, we’re going to the trampoline park, we’re cooking, we’re playing, we’re drawing.’ So they understand balance.”
In the same interview, Taylor spoke about her daughters’ approach to red carpet events. “You see Junie and Rue on a red carpet and they posing and serving,” she said. “So I just think it’s amazing to see how they navigate balance. It’s really inspiring. It just makes me proud as a parent.”
It was special for Taylor to bring her daughters to the 2026 American Music Awards, but it is not the first time she has shared a touching red-carpet moment with her family. In April, she attended the 2026 Billboard Women In Music at Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles with her mother, Nikki Taylor.
The moment when Teyana, her mom, and her dad walked the red carpet was also shared on Instagram, and fans loved seeing it.
