Teyana Taylor appeared on the Tamron Hall Show in April this year, revealing that she will play the role of Dionne Warwick in an upcoming biopic of Dionne. Taylor said that the biopic is currently under development and that she wanted to ensure that she could "lock in with any person" that she would portray.
