In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the R&B star reveals that there's a piece of wisdom from the "Texas Hold 'Em" artist that has stuck with her. According to Taylor, 35, Beyoncé, 44, told her to "invest in yourself." Taylor recalled that because Queen Bey has known her since she was 15 years old, the "CHURCH GIRL" musician taught her some valuable lessons. "That instilled in me if the Beyoncé is this way and she's so grounded and she's so this, this is the way I need to be," she says. Directed by Sophie Muller and inspired by Basic Instinct, the "Ring the Alarm" music video, was released in August 2006.
