Taylor and Pierre sparked romance rumors months ago when they posed together at the 2025 Oscars Vanity Fair afterparty in March and both shared the picture on their respective Instagram pages.
One image featured them back-to-back, staring directly at the camera. The others had them facing off in dramatic poses.
They also appeared together at the American Black Film Festival Honors on Feb. 17. The musician and Mufasa: The Lion King actor were reportedly photographed while sitting together and in deep conversation at the ceremony.
Most recently, Pierre starred in Taylor’s music video for her new single, “Long Time,” which was released on Wednesday, June 4. In the visual, Taylor appears to battle with a toxic relationship with an ex, played by LaKeith Stanfield, and Pierre comes to the rescue.
Toward the end of the music video, when Pierre carries away Taylor, she grabs his hand. The song is part of Taylor’s album and its accompanying short film, Escape Room, which is slated for release in August. The trailer for the short film features a steamy moment between Taylor and Pierre.
Taylor also seemingly called Pierre her “apple pie” when accepting the inaugural Innovator Award at the Apollo Spring Benefit 2025 in Harlem on Wednesday, June 4.
